A Day at the Races
Kira, Parker" and I went back to Disney today. We made our way leisurely south through Horse country, and took time to watch riders practice for a horse jumping competition. The announcer would state each competitors score over a loudspeaker after each run, and Kira would excitably respond:"Parker, listen! A robot!"
At Disney, we ate at the Garden Grill at Epcot, and Kira finally got to meet Mickey Mouse, as well as Chip, Dale, and Pluto, who was their favorite (Pluto played peek-a-boo with them, and Kira kissed him on the nose). We then rode the Land boat ride through the hydroponic gardens, and then took the monorails to the Magic Kingdom, where we rode Small World, the Carousel, and Dumbo.
Finally, we watched the fireworks - an experience that would have been more enjoyable except the kids suddenly remembered they had not eaten in hours, and then Parker had a meltdown over not being able to eat ice cream in 45 degree weather, and Kira spilled her popcorn all over. Nevertheless, I think the day was huge hit, given that Kira asked to ride the elephant and watch the firework for days after.
