Sydney's Thoughts on Papa

Sydney did one of these in Primary for Mother's Day.  Here is the one she did for Father's Day. Her answers are in italics.

My daddy's name is Charles (Papa). He is 5 years old,  5 feet tall and weighs 8 pounds.  His favorite food is salad. My daddy is really good at Wii games with my mom. He loves to play blocks. My favorite thing to do with my dad is go to the Children's Museum. I'm just like my dad because we both wear blue. What I love most about my daddy is does tricks. It makes Dad happy when I make my bed.
Dear Daddy, I love you!

Salt Dogs Game

When we got back from Florida, one of the commissioners at Charles' job offered him a set of four free tickets to a Salt Dogs game.  We figured it was worth it, especially when we saw that the seats were really good.  It was a fun game and Sydney had a blast.

The view from our seats...not bad, huh? We were right in front of the radio announcers for the away team from Canada. It was fun to hear their accent while we watched the game.

Mom isn't a big fan of peanuts or cracker jacks, so popcorn had to suffice.

Disney Hollywood Studios and Our Special Pooh Bear

Today we went to Disney Hollywood Studios first thing in the morning. Somehow, I ended up only taking one picture the whole time we were there...I blame it on exhaustion.

See, we were there.

Just before lunchtime, we went back to the Magic Kingdom to meet up with Winnie-ther-Pooh/Chelsea! It took a while and we missed her the first time, but it was so neat to see Chelsea doing her job. And it will be fun to explain it to Sydney one day when she is older.

  As we were passing the American section of Epcot, there were a bunch of characters training, so we got to meet several of them without too long of lines.
