We spent a wonderful day today at York's Wild Animal Kingdom. We had never been there before and we were thrilled that we had an opportunity to introduce Grace to a whole new group of animal friends - and to reconnect with old friends such as the ducks and geese. Below, Grace is very excited to feed the ducks. Grace was her usual gentle self while slowly extending her precious hand with one piece of food at a time. The gaggle of ducks reciprocated by waiting patiently.
This is a great picture of Grace in the butterfly exhibit. It was truly magical. The large house was filled with hundreds of butterflies - small, large, blue, black, large spots, small spots - an incredible variety of butterflies were flying freely amongst the flowers and trees. Grace was focused on finding the butterflies that Maddy gave her, which Grace raised and then released two weeks ago. Enough said - one of my two favorite things to do in the world - kissing my beautiful wife and kissing my Gracie Girl.

This sounds like an extraordinary place. Poppy and I would love to join you for a visit to this animal park the next time we come. The geese and ducks look very happy to receive a bit of something to eat from Grace. I cannot even imagine how wonderful and special the butterfly house must have been. Grace must have been stunned by all of those butterflies. Every time I see a butterfly, I am again reminded how much fun we had during "butterfly week". I want to jump right out a give Grace lots and lots of kisses, too! She is such a kissable little cherry pie, in her cute red shirt!
So missing all of you.
Love, Maddy
