{Not So} Wordless Wednesday - First Footings

Focused on the Magic

This week's theme for Wordless Wednesday over at Focused on the Magic is based on the New Year tradition in Scotland called "first footing." I found this over at Wikipedia (because that's the most solid form of information, right?): First footing "involves being the first person to cross the threshold of a friend or neighbor and often involves the giving of symbolic gifts such as salt (less common today), coal, shortbread, whiskey, and black bun (a rich fruit cake) intended to bring different kinds of luck to the householder." Anyway, I really wanted to join in on the theme this week and put a Disney spin on this tradition. I looked at the examples and two of them really stuck out at me because I automatically knew the pictures (or at least a group of pictures to choose from) I would choose. These two pictures represent a lot of firsts.

This one represents my first trip to WDW, Aaron's first trip as an adult, and Ashlyn's first trip to any Disney park.


This one represents my dad's first trip to WDW, first time my dad and Ashlyn met, and our first trip where we went to Epcot and Animal Kingdom.


Wow, I guess that wasn't even close to "wordless." ;)
