Disneyland August 2011 - Day 2 (Post 2 of 7)

Rachel - Almost 2.5 years old.  Joey - 5 months old.
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011. 

Ready to go.
 

Aurora's Castle. (Sleeping Beauty)




Dumbo!  Doug and I stood in line together, then took turns taking Rachel on the ride.  I took Rachel on the ride while Doug held Joseph.  Then we switched places.   Rachel didn't know what to expect the first time.




Look at that smile now.





"What?!  I can't go again?!"


Sad resignation.


Smile for the camera!


The carousel.



Casey Junior.




You can see Disney Magic reflected in Rachel's face.


We met up with the extended family to go on the "Small World" ride.




The line was long.  Doug got Rachel a treat to enjoy while we waited.





And waited.


And waited.




It payed off in the end.  This was Joseph's favorite ride.

Grandpa Goodwin's 80th Birthday

Grandpa Goodwin's 80th Birthday was in September 2012.  I didn't want to post the pictures without a wonderful tribute to Reese J Goodwin.  But...

We love Grandpa Goodwin!  Each of these pages represented a year in Reese's life. 


The Reese and Charlotte Goodwin Family.


The Men


The Women







Just the grandkids.




We made t-shirts for the family, inspired by my cousin's.
The t-shirts were inspired by my cousins.  You can see more about their shirts here.

Joseph has a special relationship with his Papa.  Joseph was named after Reese's father Joseph Goodwin, "Grandpa Joe."


Hunter is Joey's favorite cousin.  Perhaps it is because they are the only boys.





 



I feel very lucky to be a part of this beautiful family!
