Four years ago today we spent together at California Adventure!
It ws at the age when you enjoyed meeting the characters. And boy did we meet a bunch of them that day!
There was Chip and Dale, Mickey Mouse and Goofy. I quickly learned that if you want to meet characters, the best place to do it is California Adventure because there are no lines!
We also went on rides. I specifically remember doing Monsters Inc. and the lady bug cars.
Here's a whole bunch of photos of adventure!
I have created this site so that my son, Kieran Edward Bignell, will be able to easily find me, his father, Rob Bignell, and so that he will know that I love him, that I always have, and that I always will. Against our wishes, we have been torn from one another's lives and kept apart, separated by distance and time. But one day, Kieran will seek me. Kieran - I am here for you. Come to me.

In Disneyland four years ago today
Four years ago today we spent our day at Disneyland!
The whole place was decked out for Halloween, which was cool. It was our first exposure to Disneyland decorated for Halloween.
You were a the right age to be really interested in meeting characters. You got to meet Pinocchio on Main Street USA!
One young Disney girl taking pictures in Fantasyland thought you were the cutest thing and you two talked and talked! At above right is a picture she took of us together in a teacup!

Remember the Science Museum?
Four years ago today we visited the Discovery Science Museum in Santa Ana, Calif.!
This was your first visit to the museum! We spent a little time looking at the interactive stuff.
But most of our time was spent in the dinosaur section. It had a great play area that you really enjoyed!
Afterward, We spent the afternoon at Disneyland!

Your Lego clone trooper characters
On Saturday in the bag of candy I include a couple of the Lego clone troopers that we had constructed when in San Diego. I was so heartened when you said, "I remember putting those together with you!"
Here's a picture of what the complete set looked like. I remember putting together the vehicle while you made the clone troopers. You took the vehicle with you but somehow one or two of the troopers got left behind - actually, I think they were in a tote of toys I left in the back seat for you to play with when we drove to places.
I have several other Lego characters that I was able to save when moving from California. I'll give to you each time we get together over the next several weeks!

Our day at the Minnesota Zoo
Thank you for the wonderful time yesterday, Kieran! I had a lot of fun with you and am so sorry that we had so little time with one another.
I enjoyed our lunch - you made some very healthy food choices with the carrots! The IMAX movie did go a little long, but I think you still enjoyed it - I'll always remember how you grabbed at the stars in 3D.
We got a good start walking through the tropics section until the slivers from the tree bark - and at least now we can say we've been to a part of the zoo that many others never go to!
I'm glad you like your new jacket and all of the football stickers and cards, too! I shall have to look for some grape Jolly Ranchers!

Remember Barnes and Noble Blondies?
Here's something that should make you hungry!
Did you know that one of your favorite snacks when we were out and about was to stop at Barnes and Noble cafe and enjoy a Blondie bar? It was like a regular yellow pan bar but had M&M's in it!
We'd first grab a couple of magazines - you a Star Wars one and me a Star Trek one - and then I'd get the Blondie for us, usually with milk for you and a cofee for me.
Sometimes you'd go get us a seat so we had a place to sit, and if the table was missing a chair, you'd get all concerned and shout to me, "Oh no! Dad, there aren't enough chairs!" Usually someone would give up their chair for you because you were so dang cute.
We'd then enjoy our magazines, showing each other pictures in them, and splitting the Blondie!
