Park Hoppers

As we prepared for our first Disney day - we had fun just relaxing at the house, playing with the littles, and enjoying time at a different, simpler kind of park. :)

Jane led the way, waving her beloved flag, followed by her little cousin who was excited to be outside.

The park was empty and peaceful...

And DARK before we knew it.

But the setting sun didn't stop us from sliding...

...and swinging the night away. :)

We came back to the same park in the daylight, and held our first of several "twinkie" picture sessions we had on our trip. :)

Cause what's the fun of getting the kids together if you can't dress them alike?

Especially when you have one of each to pair together. :)

And on a gorgeous day such as this... one can't help but be reminded of life's simple joys...

of beauty...

discovery...

and laughter...

Or that with friends, it's okay just to sit together...

or even cry...

Cause they won't mind at all.

And when you drink pretend tea on the grass...

you don't always have to sit lady-like.

Finding that it's often easier to be brave...

when you have someone to hold on to.

And that it's okay to be scared...

until you're ready to let go...

and do it again.

Because at the end of the day...

All that really matters...

Is love.
