Navy woke up at 4:00 am to the sounds of a HUGE storm outside. She ran into where I was, and was a bit scared, but I told her to look outside to see how awesome it was. Then I told her to get a rain coat and rain boots, because we were going out for donuts in the storm! She was so excited, and we headed out.
Her pick was naturally…
…a chocolate bar.
On our way back, because it was such a big storm with major winds, we decided to go down to the harbor to see if we could find any trees that had been knocked over.
As we drove, there was chaos all over the road.
Basically anything that wasn’t bolted down, was somewhere other than where it was supposed to be.
And the harbor was the messiest of them all!
So Navy was determined to do something about it.
This five year old girl went out in the crazy storm, and just started helping where she could.
See the trash can tops in the above picture….they used to be in the road, but she didn’t want anyone to crash into them.
She picked up the ladder signs that had been blown over and down the road.
She (with help) managed to get all of the knocked trash cans upright.
She was amazing!
And she had so much fun doing it, that we drove home to run in and wake up Scout to join in on the fun.
At first he was WAY too tired to be with us, but when he saw her enthusiasm, he perked up.

Nothing in life brings me more joy than when I see my kids being selfless.
And I don’t think much brings them more joy than when they can run and tell me that they have a HERO STORY.

Navy….you are my hero!
