Ryan and Smiley






Herer are pictures of Ryan and Grandpa Smiley. He may be the sweetest man to ever live. Sonya and Crystal will know what I mean when I say he may be even sweeter than great grandma. We met him 4 years ago at this Disneyana convention and from the start we loved him. He took to Ryan right away and Ryan to him. Not a normal oh I like this guy but you actually love him instantly. He considers Ryan his Great Grandson and tells everyone that is what he is. He means it. He is just so sweet. He gave Ryan a set of K'nex today that his other Grandkids are done with. It is of the ferris wheel and it is all put together.

Anyway my point is everyone loves Smiley. After I took the picture of Ryan, Smiley and Bill Farmer (the guy who voices Goofy), Ryan and Smiley went around asking people if they wanted their pictures taken with them. They even added quite seriously that they weren't charging! You wouldn't believe how many people said yes and posed for pictures with these fools. Smiley makes the drive and the hotel all worth the trip even if we did nothing but see him. You should see the pictures of the 2 of them last year. I will post them later.
