Ok time for Magic Memory Monday #2 – This one was from our first family trip to Disney World as well – same day in fact as the first Magic Memory Monday post (link).
We were on Main Street waiting for the fireworks show Wishes to start. I was holding my son up so he could see around and my wife grabbed the camera and took a shot as he leaned his head into my chin.
This is definitely a nice picture of the 2 of us with Cinderella’s Castle clear and lit up in the background – definitely no mistaking the location or that we were both quite happy at that moment.
The closeness with my son at that moment is something I still carry with me – in fact I keep a copy of this picture on my wall at work as a reminder. These are the kinds of moments that can happen anywhere but Disney just seems to excel at finding ways for them to happen more often.
Fun side story here was that as the fireworks began we were worried that as he was only 17 months old at the time he might get scared by the lights and the noise. We needn’t have worried though. He jumped as the first set of fireworks blew into the sky but then he started clapping and yelling boom!! and yay!! I think we went to various fireworks shows around Disney World 5 or 6 times on that trip and he would do the same thing each time. It was awesome to see him enjoying the show and really getting into it. There is another of those memories that will stick with me for many years to come.
