The Cabinets

When he decided to build Disneyland, Walt Disney never set out to make memories for us. A place never could. He simply said that there ought to be somewhere for people to go with their families.

The place feels magical but the real magic comes from the sharing. It is the subtle interactions that happen because our focus is on one another. Our gaze is uninterrupted by the pace and the strain of everyday life.

We have had a million moments on this vacation, good and bad. We shall never forget the stray kitten in the restaurant parking lot that tried desperately to follow us into our car, the big birds walking down the road that let us get within 2 feet of them, rubbing a dolphin for the first time for all of us, the girls finding 1000 lizards everywhere as if they were always on the lookout for them, the nightly run to 7-eleven for the "after the kids go to bed adult snack" with my wife, and this list could go on forever.

One such memory will be the always walking over pot and pans in the kitchen because Emily Grace found these cabinets to be a perfect hide-out. She was always in them.

 

 

I love my family!
