You ought to be in pictures....

or, should I say, caricatures! While down at Disney, there was a caricaturist (is that a word?) drawing people outside the food court at our hotel. Every time we would walk in or out, we would all stop and marvel at his talent. Everything he drew just seemed to turn out so perfectly. As with mostly everything in Disney, the waiting line was usually long, so I worried that Ryan wouldn't be able to be patient in the line. On top of that, how would I ever get my little dynamo to sit still. So, we passed the stand everyday and kept on going. By the next to last day of our trip, I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. After all, we may never get the chance again. Sure, I felt bad making Ryan wait, but he managed to occupy himself running around with Emily and taking all of my spare change for the pressed penny machines. Turns out, the artist did not need the kids to sit still, but only for one moment to capture their smile. Otherwise, movement was not an issue. I am so thankful that I did this. He could not have captured Ryan more perfectly.

The look on his face is "his look." It's Ryan all the way around. He captured his eyes, his ears, his hair, his nose, and that signature "no teeth" smile that is pure Ryan all the way. I was in amazement as I saw the whole thing come together. He even added our cat, Skippy, to the picture!

This is an 11 x 14 picture, so it is a decent size. I cannot wait to go out and get a frame for this masterpiece! I simply love it.

The caricature stands were all over Disney, not just at the hotel. So, if you happen to get to Disney, this is one thing that I highly recommend. It cost $30. It was so fun, and it was yet another way to capture the memories and the magic of Disney!

PS...thank you to everyone who sent good scrapping vibes my way yesterday. I am happy to report that I completed my assignment with time to spare. It was a bit tough, but once I got going, it was smooth sailing all the way! I think my mojo is back, baybee!
