Pins!

When Ryan was born, we instantly started going to the Disney parks. It's what we people from Orlando do. Why not, it's in our "backyard". Allen and I decided we wanted to collect something for Ryan that were memories from the park. No stuff animals...too pricey and too big. No snow globes because he is a boy and those are breakable. So, Allen came up with the brilliant idea to collect pins. Totally different idea and completely perfect for the memories (and the family budget)! Thus, the pin collecting began. We get them from everywhere we visit, if possible, not just Disney. And they all mean something, from his first haircut to the first time he rode a ride to a holiday we celebrated. It's fun to look at them and see where we have been! He is a well-traveled little boy for all of 2. I cannot wait for him to start picking them out himself!
Well today I finished the last hole on frame #2. Where to go from here, I do not know. They are proudly displayed in his play area. Who know maybe I will start one for his room. So what do you all collect for your kids? Or what will you collect if you haven't started yet?

Cool! We collect Wolverine (X-men) toys for Logan because my hubby is a big geek and Logan is Wolverine's real name.
