Dreams Come True

7.3.10



Funland in Rehoboth Beach — a step back in time where you can still ride a little boat ride for $.30. It’s tradition to go there each year on family vacation. I can very clearly remember watching the kids on these rides last year — here’s a couple pictures I just found of last year —

They’ve really grown up. I can remember standing beside the Merry Go Round last year. We saw a family with a toddler who looked like she may have been from China. Every one of us noticed her (all 5 of us, my sisters, and my parents). We smiled at the family. We watched our kids go on the ride and I said to Mark, “Do you think we’ll have Lydia here next year?” We were so frustrated at that point; sometimes I doubted it would ever happen. “I don’t know, Kelly. Probably not.” “Maybe we will, Honey.” Well, here we are. And, here she is. Dreams come true.

(And, dreams came true for Evan too since he finally got the nerve up
to go on the Haunted Mansion ride.)

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
