10 - Mom woke up one day over the last summer and went "Let's go to Disneyland". We hadn't talked or planned or anything and we just left that morning. It was AWESOME!!

9 - Dad took me to my first ever Sidewinders game (then known as the Torros) and got me a big ol' helmet full of ice cream!

8 - I finally used the key words "Route 66" to get mom to see Cars with me and she loved it! I even THEN convinced her to see Ratatouille with me. And we loved them both. (Maybe I can convince her to let me take her to her first drivein and see Wall-E ;) )

7 - Daddy came in a few years ago and said Temple of Doom was on USA. We sat and watched it together (my first Indy movie viewing!) while dad made fun of Shorty's accent the whole time. Still laughing thinking about it!

6 - Mom sat and showed me how to latchhook with a pattern. And promptly dropped her jaw and asked what the heck was wrong with me when I made a butterfly with NO pattern.

5 - Daddy took me to see EVERY Pokemon movie until they stopped, and instead we started going to EVERY Pixar movie together opening weekend. (Sorry, can't see it with you yet, I'm going with my daddy!)

4 - "Hey Mom? Whado you think is in that lighthouse?" "....Lucky Chaaaarms."

3 - Daddy took me to a Hilary Clinton ralley. Knowing how important this was to me, he braved a three hour line, in the heat, with the rednecks behind us flapping their gums only to hear a candidate talk about stuff only I gave a crap about. You rock, daddy!

2 - I stepped out of the square in the Tower of Terror waiting room. Some idiot turns around and goes "you need to be in the square!" Mom promptly puts him in his place by saying "Don't you talk to mah babeh!!" in her eastcoast philly voice.

1 - Daddy took me to the planetarium pretty much anytime mom was away. We'd talk astronomy, conspiracies, and philosophy. Like every father and daughter, right?

Love you guys!! :)
