Jack and Nathan are my heroes

I just wanted to share what to my eyes was a miracle on Thursday. It was Jack's birthday, and we had planned on using our newly minted So Cal Disneyland passes to spend the afternoon in that happiest place on earth. We got there and presented our passes at the Guest Services window so that Jack could get his free birthday pin and disney dollars in honor of his big day, only to find out that our passes did not in fact work on June 4th. Should have checked that before we left San Diego. Am and I braced ourselves for the worst---our boys have previously demonstrated an uncanny ability to come unhinged when their reality fails to exceed their expectations. But not Thursday. We explained the situation, and Jack basically shrugged his shoulders and suggested we go to the beach or to the splash park instead. Nathan said, "that's OK, we can make Disneyland at our house." I was shocked. Mouth-gaping-open shocked. Instead of holding my feet to the fire for such a huge mistake on this special day, Jack and Nate were so even keeled. So we drove home and went to the park and got ice cream and that was that. No complaints at all. So that's what Mosiah 3:19 means...and I thought I was the one doing the parenting.
