It was 1:30
in the afternoon on Jan. 4,
2016, as Shawn and Therese
Hardesty herded their fi ve
young children through a
resort on Oahu, Hawaii.
They watched with joy as
9-year-old Krista; Kate, 8;
Julia, 7; Jenna, 6; and little
Patrick, age 4, beamed with
excitement upon seeing the
cartoon characters they
loved come to life. Their eyes
the size of saucers, and their
mouths shaped like big, fat
zeros, the kids laughed and
clapped with delight.
