Somebody was very thoughtful to me yesterday. While I was taking tons of pics of my little guy completely enjoying petting the goats, someone asked me if I wanted her to take a picture with me in it too! I wish I could tell her thank you right now, because as I was scrolling through the 1,300 pics on my camera I noticed I was behind the camera the whole time! I am grateful for this pic of a special time i was having with my little guy at DL.So, for now on every time I go to DL I will return the favor and ask a mom if they would like to be in the pic too!
Very sweet pic -that is great. one time, in front of the castle, a woman came up to us and said kinda fast, 'I'll take your pics if you take ours.' A second later I looked up at her and it turned out that we knew each other but hadn't recognized each other. We laughed so hard and hugged.( their son and my daughter went to school together in K and 1st, moved away, and now the kidlettes were in 5th grade. Her baby wasn't a baby anymore, either. So we got pics of the two 5th graders in front of the castle :) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint

I LOVE this story!!! That is very funny! Isn't it shocking when you run into someone you know at DL? It is almost like we expect every one at DL to be a stranger! - 7mouskedoodles 161.1 #2137 9:32AM
Aww!! You're so beautiful! Glad you guys got such a wonderful memory pic together! - RCmom

Thank you! We can't wait to go to our mailbox in a couple of hours! - 7mouskedoodles 161.1 #2137 8:54AM
I always end up doing the same thing! Last trip I was in 1 picture. I think mommies end up getting so excited trying to capture the magic their kids are experiencing we forget to include ourselves in the memories! Such a thoughtful idea to pay it forward! Glad you had fun! - preggoprincess

I appreciated her kind gesture so much that I want to do the same for others. Maybe some MWers who read my post will do the same! Thanks! - 7mouskedoodles 161.1 #2137 8:57AM
I love helping people out like that. - HanLostLeia

that was nice. I know how it feels being the daddy who takes most of the pics of my family I rarely get to be in pics until recently. - pikarich

I think it's one of those points of parenthood that we tend to forget. I like seeing pics of my parents when they were young and raising kids, I need to do the same. Next time we go to DL I am going to hand the camera off to my kids, and get some pics with my husband too! - 7mouskedoodles 161.1 #2137 9:21AM
Beautiful. That is a perfect picture. - mightymike10

Me too, and if MWers show kindness in this way , maybe we will run into each other! - 7mouskedoodles 161.1 #2137 9:43AM
What a great photo! I know it's hard to stop and think that you need to actually be in some of the photos with the kids! - PinkElephants

This is a nice photo ! I know as mothers we get so used to taking pictures of our kids than forget how important it is for us to be in those pictures ! I even forget to take a pic w/ just the 4 of us ! But it's a nice way to give back to someone else in the park ! - jmza4
