I will never regret taking sweet baby diaper butts to Disney to meet “Mick” for the first time. I will never regret the last-second, spur-of-the-moment trip just to be in our happy place. I will never regret watching their little chunky cheeks, big eyes, and dimpled fingers waving as they saw Disney magic for the first time, the same way I once saw it.

I get to remember. I get to make new memories. And I get to keep them.

Because “my kids are too young” turns into days, then weeks, then years that go by too quickly. In the blink of an eye, they’re grown. So take the trip. We’re only getting older.

Charlie — 2 years
Hank — 11 months
Gus — 5 weeks

They’re never too little, and you’ll never get this moment back.

We hiked Diamond Head Crater today in Waikiki- Formed by a single explosive eruption over 100,000 years ago.

Not even the coolest part!!

There were bunkers dug into the sides of the crater and Hawaii used this as protection for their newly annexed state. It gets better! It once housed the Army Coastal Artillery defense system on the Island of O’ahu. Diamond Head’s summit would be utilized as the primary coastal defense point! This was in use during World War II.

I have an obscene obsession with that era in time because my Papaw Irvine & Papaw Edwards served during WWII. One regret I have in life is not having asked more questions or listened to more stories having no idea what they’d mean one day. I grew up getting to know them both🥹

Fun fact- we went to Disney World with
My Papaw Edward’s one time. While riding Big Thunder Mountain his glasses case flew out of his thin, short sleeve, button up shirt pocket and he grabbed them mid air before they were gone!!

I have that memory because My Mom & Daddy took me there so often. I will never regret having that as a core memory!

Maybe I need to get down there and see what this is all about-
Y’all know I am all about my Disney Nostalgia, and special spots of importance from my childhood. This specific ride and Tower of Terror were rides my sister and cousins would run back and forth to riding as many times as we possibly could- knew the intro show words by heart with Aerosmith, our hands ran over the marble door so many times- iykyk! Screaming “corkscrew” and then watching whatever white we had on glowing at the end- racing down the tunnel and right back up..
I have no doubt Disney has done this justice, and that it will be just as great and I really don’t think you can go wrong with the Muppets!!
