Disneyland by Picture Mail

For Athena's fourth birthday, Zoe was only two and I was 9 and a half months pregnant with John Patrick, so Chris took Athena by herself to Disneyland. It was an awesome experience for both of them, and Chris just loved introducing his childhood playground to his baby girl for the first time one-on-one.

So it was decided, Chris would do the same for Zoe on her fourth birthday. Athena's trip to Disneyland has become family lore - she can recite each ride they went on in order, which color tea cups she rode, and has been telling Zoe the stories endlessly. Needless to say, Zoe has been bursting to go too and Chris was counting down the days as well.

They drove off in the wee hours of the morning, a two and a half hour ride. I called Chris on his cellphone the moment I thought they would be arriving in Anaheim. They were just getting on the tram. "Keep me updated!" I said, excited for both of them. So my darling Chris sent me hourly picture mail of their day.

The pictures tell the story
of the day Zoe had her Daddy all to herself

And they had so much fun
they went back the next day too!
