Phone photo of an old print: a smiling woman in a denim shirt and a young boy in a red Coca-Cola T-shirt stand in front of an animal enclosure with a wooden climbing frame and tire swing, a dark-furred animal on top and spectators along the fence.

Rob Wray

She was my mom

Disney & Orlando, 1980s Two old prints from the same summer day. Mom, in a denim shirt, is with a young boy in a red Coca-Cola T-shirt. In one they're standing by an animal exhibit with a wooden climbing frame and a tire swing, a crowd watching along the fence; in the other they're cheek to cheek in front of a castle-style stone gateway hung with red and yellow banners. With: Mom, Robbie

When: Summer, mid-1980s?; as they remembered it
Where: Orlando, Florida; 1 more from Orlando

A video

Our family trip to Orlando At dinner on March 15, Jo and Rich cozied up over a skillet dessert with a birthday candle, and Ava reached for her birthday sundae, candle and cherry on top, while Grandma Jo looked on. A few days later, at The Boathouse at Disney Springs, Jo played peekaboo with her napkin until Ava was grinning ear to ear, then opened up a little treat box to show her. With: Jo, Rich, Ava

A Christmas portrait from an old print An old snapshot from what looks like a Christmas in the 1980s. Mom, in a dark velvet dress with a lace collar and pearls, is laughing up at Rich in a plaid jacket, who has his arms around her and around a grinning Robbie in a navy suit and tie. Pine boughs and little lights fill the corner behind them. With: Jo, Rich, Robbie
