Hey, brother!

Alright, so in case you guys didn't know or can't tell, my family loves collecting Pluto pins.

Look, I even brought some in, do you want to hear about them?

Great, stay tuned.

It all started a few years ago when Pluto, who I never had a particular history with, suddenly became like the mascot of our first big family trip to Disney World.

It was kind of out of nowhere, but the kids just kept picking out Pluto toys and we met him over and over and then me and my wife Beth thought it'd be fun to get like a pluto ornament to commemorate the trip and we went to this giant Disney ornament store in Disney Springs,

only to discover that despite being one of the

Sensational Six, there were no Pluto ornaments? I still can't believe that, but whatever.

We left that shop, feeling honestly defeated, but then stumbled directly into a pin trading store

and a brand new family fascination.

Pluto pins.

Pluto has sort of been the general theme of the trip and we've been looking for different

like Pluto things, but they've been hard to find, especially pins.

But we found this cool pin trader board where you can like trade in pins.

So we bought a little Starbricid, which comes to the Pluto.

We're going to trade two of them to get this Pluto pin and this Pluto pin.

Before then, we had never traded pins before, but within an hour had a collection of four to five.

Pin trader update. We got those first two, but guess what?

We found another pin trader. Now we have just like that for Pluto pins and almost no time.

And since then it has exploded. We've managed to visit the parks a few times since then and have outgrown bored after board after board of Pluto pins.

It's gotten to the point where we're hunting down online auctions, following pinfluencers on Instagram, people are mailing us pins.

Heck, Ben and I just collabed with the biggest pin store in Orlando, and now seemingly every member of our family has a specific character they're hunting down pins for.
