We ended up knitting 108 hats on this trip!!!! I am so amazed! Everyone in my family helped make hats. I loved being able to knit these hats while we drove, it really helped the time to pass faster.
So now that 108 hats combined with the 75 we had made before we left makes 183!!! We are getting so close to our goal and we have only been working on these for a little over a month now. I just can't wait to see the angel tree at Christmas with all these little hats on it. It is going to look so amazing!!!!
One of my favorite things to do on vacation is shop for souvenirs. I love having these physical reminders of our fun vacations. The past couple of years I have been collecting pins and key chains from all the places we have visited. I absolutely LOVE key chains. I don't put all of them on my keys, I have had them hanging up, but, I've run out of room so my husband is going to make me a special hook holder so I can put them all together.
My most favorite souvenir this trip was a $3 necklace I found that says HOPE. That is what this vacation brought to me--HOPE and Joy. So, besides the fact that it is my 2nd angel babies name, I realized that Hope can stand for all of my angel babies. First because there are 4 letters in it for my 4 angel babies and next because each letter stands for them: H--Hope, O--JasOn, P--Precious Angel Janessa--we have always called her that and even have it engraved on her headstone, E--RaE AnnE.
