My parents have the same birthday. September 26th (no- not the same year, my dad is one year older than my mom) Well this year with the anniversary of Disneyland, you get a free one day admission on your exact birthday. (the only time I ever wished Keaton was born on my birthday instead of one day later) Neither of my parents have been to Disneyland -can you believe it? No we never went as kids, but we did go to Sea World once, in case you were thinking I was a totally deprived child.
Anyway - my mom convinced my dad to go, then the debates about how much to pay for a hotel, two night or three, how close their hotel should be etc. We weren't actually sure they'd go, but they did. It was funny because I talked to both of them from Disneyland and they sounded like little kids really just giddy with excitement. I think they even surprised themselves because they were there from 8:30 am to 11:30 pm...way longer than they thought they'd have energy for. They had fun on most of the rides but were also impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness of Disneyland. They really enjoyed the shows too like Honey I Shrunk the Audience, the parade, fireworks and Fantasmic! My dad said it was fun to watch the kids eyes light up every time a character came around.
I am so glad they got a chance to go away and have fun. They spend so much of their time taking care of and serving other people. Not to mention how much they do for each of their kids. I am truly lucky to have had their support the last few years and their help with Keaton.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND DAD!
