The Magic Kingdom

walt disney nailed it on the head the day he sketched mickey mouse. his imagination has captured the hearts of generations & evolved into, truly, the happiest place on earth. i can still remember the butterflies the night before going to disneyland. butterflies that only danced that way one other night of the year, christmas eve!
 


we obviously realize beckham won't remember his very first time to disneyland. but, it was apparent that the magic kingdom captured his heart. the wonder of his surroundings twinkled in his eyes. he fought sleep until our final stroll back down main street. it was obvious, he wasn't willing to miss a thing.



the night air was crisp, so we bundled up our baby boy and headed to disneyland. probably later than we should have but, i am so glad we did. it was a perfect night. shared as a family. a night time adventure. a place that i am so glad we could introduce him too! this surely will not be his last visit. it's just the beginning!

as we were coming out of it's a small world the electric flashes of fire works sounded in the night sky above us. our curious little monkey was hardly startled by the LOUD bomb, bomb above. he just leaned back into his dadda and admired the shimmer & sparkle of each explosion.

  
be still my heart. my two loves. taking in the magic. together.
one last moment, captured.

(the only major bummer with nightime adventures...you gotta use the flash on your camera!)
