It's like the Fountain of Youth



We're leaving for Disney World tomorrow and are we excited! I'm not just excited about going away on vacation (and certainly not about the flying), I'm excited that the girls are excited. Everything about this trip will be a new experience for them. They have never been inside an airport, on a plane or seen a Palm tree and I can't wait to see their reactions to everything new. It's funny how that once you have kids, everything is suddenly more interesting. Ten years ago if I saw a caterpillar on the sidewalk I would have walked right on by. Now? Now I would have to stop and yell for the kids to come see or save it for them in one of their beloved "bug boxes" until they got home/woke up. I actually notice Robin's in the spring because I know my 5 year old is waiting for them and if I see someone walking a dog in front of the house we all have to watch from the window and comment on how cute the dog is. Somehow I think people would be happier if they all took the time to stop and really look at the things around them. I know it makes me happier.
