Moving Imagination
Parker, Kira, and I spent two days at Disney this weekend, primarily to see the Imagination Movers, a children's quartet from the Disney Channel.
They had fun at the concert, but their attention was really piqued immediately afterwards, when the group came into the audience to sign autographs. Parker had to tell each of the band members how he had a guitar at home and a set of drums. After had spoken to the lead singer, Mover Rich, I asked Kira if she wanted to go and get her picture with him, as he was still kneeling right in front of us. Kira was clinging to my leg shyly, when all of a sudden, BOOM, she was off like a rocket, and nearly bowled him over with the force of her hug. Rich's face lit up with a terrific smile, and he said that she had absolutely just made his day.
Later that night we watched the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom from the steamboat. It was a lovely trip.
Some other gems from the kids:
- While going through Ocala, Kira proclaimed her absolute need for candy. Parker responded solemnly "Kira, candy's gonna rot your soul", a line from Mika's song Lollipop.
- Upon entering the hotel room, Parker saw a coffeemaker and exclaims "Look, a coffee cooker!"
- At the rest stop, Parker cautioned the group of college students getting in the car next to us that the love bugs will get in their car if they don;t keep the doors closed. The driver looked at him and said "But, If we get all of the love bugs out of our car, where will the love come from?". Parker was stumped by this question for some time.
