Wilma attended her first Blessing of the Animals at church yesterday. She did awesome walking around a bunch of children and pets. Lots of parishioners brought a variety of animals to get blessed. We met a hermit crab, turtle, hamster, 2 goldfish, a cat and a bunch of dogs. The girls were having fun checking out all the dogs. We saw a lot of retrievers and doodles. It was a fun afternoon with the girls. Have a great weekend everyone.
