Shark and Cray

There was a time when Dylan could not be in a car, sit in a restaurant, or go to bed without his brothers with him.  Dylan and his brothers (About 9 of them) went on the most fantastic adventures.  Shark and Cray were the constant companions, but other made appearances along the way.  For instance, the youngest Jack, was just a baby, but joined them when he could.

Did you know that Dylan rode the roller coasters with Shark at Disney before Ellison ever did? Did you know all of the brothers including Dylan had already been to Seattle and thought Alaska was amazing?  They loved North Carolina.

They could often be found riding in the car next to us. Sometimes they would join us for sleepovers or just the bedtime stories.  Always a joy to have around.

So you can imagine how sad it was to hear that Dylan's brothers had moved to the West Coast.  They no longer live a few houses down and join us on our daily adventures.

I miss those boys.  I miss my little boy.  He is growing up.  Saying goodbye to his imaginary friends.
I did find out recently that Shark was actually a Shark.  Didn't see that coming. He is scared of blue whales... may be why he hid for most of our Alaska trip.
