Tom Sawyer's Island

Image
Another highlight of our day at Magic Kingdom was taking the wooden log pontoon boat over to Tom Sawyer's Island. Not only did it bring back some great memories for me from the third grade in Mrs. Labadie's class - but it also proved to be an excellent photo op of my dear pleaser-son, Sam.  Between the low light of late afternoon, the reflection of the water, and Sam's love for making his mommy happy… these turned out to be my favorite photos of the trip  (favorite photos from a photographer's perspective… not necessarily from a mommy tourist perspective!) I know this appears washed out from the lighting… but I like the soft look of it ~ and I think his face is precious here.   I heart his sweet smile, and his eyes...   Here is another somewhat washed out… but again makes for a soft, sweet picture And, yes, Charlie joined us on Tom Sawyers Island… He's just not into doing the "how can I make my mommy happy" thing. He was off and ...

On this particular day, the boys got into bubbles and cars.   Sam was mastering the art of recycling bubbles by blowing, catching, and recreating.   He was getting pretty good at it by the time the morning winded down ~   Meanwhile, Charlie was intently focused on fixing this car...   he had the tongue out and all! "I did it! I did it!" Lovin' these summer mornings!

This summer marked another major milestone, which is the end of me slacking off and avoiding Sam and Charlie's first dentist appointment! Actually, I wasn't avoiding taking them to the dentist. At all.  I was simply avoiding the chore of figuring out which  dentist to take them to. I've had many recommendations - most of which went in one ear and out the other. I've thought about it at least a hundred times over the past 2 years.  Finally, the moment struck. It can wait no longer! So I ended up scheduling them with my dentist (sad, I know… after the long wait, I should have come up with something more spectacular than that!) Such is life. While he is not a pediatric dentist with the whole circus thing going on in his office, what we do get at my dentist is a bit of a spa treatment… warm neck wrap, parafin dip for our hands. It's really quite lovely. So, first up ~ Charlie Hatcher!   He's all set with the dip and the wrap. Open up and say ...
