2007 Disney Trip-Day 4
Donning “skun scream” and swim suits, we headed to Typhoon Lagoon!!
The scariest three minutes of my life were spent waiting at the bottom of this slide. (over and over again) McCanless is now tall enough to go up the “big kid” slide alone, although she looked like the youngest. As soon as she would zoom down, she would swim over to the “mountain” and climb back up again.
up the mountain…
The only problem is, once she started up the mountain, I lost sight of her until she came sliding down…I would watch her walk up as far as I could see her, run/wade over to the bottom of the slide, pushing all of the other moms out of the way, (this was easy, given my current state and size) and just wait, holding my breath. There were several kids in hot pink swimmies that I almost grabbed. I’m sure their moms thought I was crazy.
Does this look like the face of a line-breaker?
After watching her partway up the mountain, Mel informed me that the only reason she came down so quickly was because, as she ascended up the mountain, she would pass all the other kids, smile, nod as if to be giving an “it’s okay” and nudge her way up to the top using her swimmies as leverage.
Oh well, the lifeguards at the top never seemed to notice as far as I knew.
Yes, even mommy had to cool off in the wave pool a bit!
After lunch, a long nap on the beach, a few more slides and many freckles later, we decided to change clothes and get ready to head home. (Daddy was turning purple at this point)
Mel’s cousin, Tim, took us to the train station and as you can see, McCanless was a bit tired/bored as we waited for our train.
At 6:00 PM we boarded the train to head for SC, and although McCanless was ready to see her “blue house” she wasn’t thrilled to be leaving behind the princesses.
Goodbye Disney!
After waving goodbye to Disney and dinner in the dining car, we were all ready to go to bed!!
