We went to Garnet’s favourite ride, Dumbo, first. There were some nerves at first and then it seemed like our newest member was ready to dive in. She loved it!<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Grace wanted to see the castle most of all on this trip. So glad to be here once again.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0Unfortunately, I appear to still be posting my photos backwards.\u00a0 You can click on them to make them larger.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yesterday was HOT!\u00a0 We were still nursing sun burns from San Francisco so the sunscreen went on thick and often yesterday.\u00a0 We even bought one of those over priced mister-fans and it was a life saver for these northern creatures.\u00a0 Everyone got a bit of what they had hoped for yesterday, but it was a bit of a tough day as we chose to do Fantasyland first and then a couple of other rides just for the shade. We wanted to warm up Grace to the rides before taking her on the faster ones.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the sun was most intense in these areas so we definitely got overheated.\u00a0 Quite a change from Oregon.\u00a0 lol\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Garnet had a chance to ride\u00a0Dumbo and build his Darth Maul lightsaber so\u00a0he was\u00a0thrilled!\u00a0 He’d been talking about those two things for a whole year now (quite an accomplishment for a 4, then 5 year old!).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Grace\u00a0had a few nerves before a few of the rides (flopping her foot\u00a0back and forth nervously or chewing her\u00a0cuticles), but then she’d come off\u00a0smiling and asking to do it again.\u00a0 She cowered a few times in a dark part, but she liked the speed and the characters.\u00a0 She had\u00a0been really looking forward to seeing the castle and so she was all sparkly eyed walking through it.\u00a0 She was a\u00a0concerned when we bought\u00a0her a sun hat and not the micky ears, but took it quietly.\u00a0 Se tends to be a bit more, ummm, outspoken, when she doesn’t get what she thinks she deserves, so this was interesting.\u00a0 I know she’ll be tickled when we get to a bit more shopping.\u00a0 She was surprised when we\u00a0bought her a lightsaber though.\u00a0 She likes to be able to tangle with the boys – not timid that way!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Faith really enjoyed some of the character type rides – like Alice in Wonderland, but she clutched my hand\u00a0during the Matterhorn.\u00a0 She LOVES the fast ones, so I can see her ramping up the more we go on.\u00a0 Faith was the hottest of us all yesterday, being so fair, so we had a job making her drink water all day.\u00a0\u00a0She is so fun to be here with.\u00a0 Such a treat to walk around holding her hand and chatting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

James\u00a0 got a bit of the short end of the stick, but he Garnet were ride buddies a lot and you could see the delight that James got from watching Garnet enj0y things.\u00a0 He also helped Garnet build his lightsaber and that was a cool brother thing to do.\u00a0 He got his churro!\u00a0 Apparently he and Gma and Gpa H. had spent a LONG time looking for one last trip and so when we found a booth yesterday, he had to have one!\u00a0 We even waited 5 minutes for them to cook .\u00a0 Nothi\u00a0ng was going to stop him from having one.\u00a0 hehehe\u00a0 Stephen and he got fast passes for Space Mountain for 10:55 -11:55 last night. They took the rest of us back to our room and then went back for more fast rides.\u00a0 I was so glad James had a fun end to his day.\u00a0 He’s still sleeping or I’d ask him how it went.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stephen and I were hot and happy.\u00a0 It was so neat to see the kids enjoying themselves and for the ones who’d been here before, to see them remembering things. Stephen is a good planner, but the heat made for quite a few detours.\u00a0 I ended up getting a migraine and went straight to sleep after we got back.\u00a0 Fortunately I had brought my migraine meds and I’m feeling like my normal self this a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, off to wake the rest up and get\u00a0going again!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
