Surprise photos
The boys were both soooo surprised when they saw each other last night. It was the most fun. And it was super to have them together again. I am always surprised at how easily they slip into being together.
The boys spent forever building cars at the Lego shop at Downtown Disney.
Will’s built like his daddy… all stocky and solid. Griff looks skinnier than usual next to him. But aren’t they all cute in their little reggae Mickey hats. They spent a good 20 minutes trying on various hats. Mike commented that only at Disney would I allow kids to try on hats that countless others have tried on before. Lice? Never heard of the concept. It’s the Happiest Place on Earth! Try this one on next!
Will said, ‘I wish ya’ll hadn’t moved.’ To which Griff said, ‘me, too.’ Will asked Mike, ‘When are ya’ll moving back?’ which began their discussion about how they were planning - their 8-year-old selves at that time - to sabotage Mike’s interview with his current employer. Sweet if heartbreaking.

A perfect surprise!
Mike and I are so excited. Griff’s very best friend in the world - Will - is in Orlando this week with his family, and we’re going to go see them this afternoon. Neither Griff nor Will has any idea that this is happening.
As soon as Mike and I are both dressed and ready, we’re going to send Griff’s friend, Cody, home and tell the kids that we’ve decided to go to Downtown Disney this evening instead of me going to work. They’re kids. They’ll buy it.
And then, we’re going to detour by their hotel to pick up Will before heading to Downtown Disney for a few hours. If all the grown-ups can hold out, the first either boy will know about it will be when they see each other at the hotel.
How cool is that?!

Wordless Wednesday - Downtown Disney Edition
Griff walked all the way from the parking lot to Mandy & Josh’s hotel room. I was SO impressed.

Me and Mandy.
Me and Olivia. I gave her fries and Diet Coke. It’s no wonder she likes me. And the tee shirt she’s wearing? It’s one of Eliza’s from several years ago. 
All of us.
Our girls… Eliza and Olivia.
