Making Magic Memories

We have some pretty amazing friends. Michael, Patti, and Dylan have graciously opened their home to us while we're here in Florida visiting. The day after we arrived, they threw Ben and Zach a birthday party at Honey's and Pop Pop's home, and Patti made them an incredible birthday cake. It was equally appealing to the belly as it was to the eye! The whole Bacon clan was present and rounded out by Tricia, AJ, and Austin. Our friend and former coworker also came with her son who is about the same age as the boys. It was a great party and we sincerely appreciate how good everyone is to our boys and us!

The following day we visited the Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Orlando. Again, all made possible by our awesome friends! I know there are several of us that agree that when we get to relive a first time experience through children, it's something very special. It was such a fun day to watch Ben and Zach take everything in.

My first memory of Disneyland was from when I was about 3 or 4. I remember the music from It's a Small World and looking up a lot, but that's about it. I think when Zach is older he may recall similar memories. He absolutely loved this ride. There was a lot of pointing, oohing, ahhing, and oh wowing going on! I loved watching his expressions.

Ben on the other hand took a much more quiet approach to the rides. Sometimes I think there's an old soul behind that young face, and it's already done and seen everything. When he does show emotion it's definitely out there. He had the most fun whenever we'd let him loose. He loved the play area outside of Mickey's House in Toontown, and enjoyed The Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride.


We can't thank you enough, but we'll thank you again Michael, Patti, Dylan, and Honey for sharing the day with us and helping us make those memories with our boys. Your veteran knowledge of the park, and selflessness when it came to making the day all about the boys took all the load off of us and made the experience nothing short of perfect. We love you all so much. You're nothing short of family in our book!
