It looks like he's looking at those wonderful, amazing shoes of height!
I'm so glad he was able to ride even after the multiple measurings. That would have been really tough to be told you could ride and then have it pulled out from under you.
We have a playground story like yours. It happened at a McDonald's when Lauren was a couple of years old and Judy was pregnant with Marlene. Lauren followed a girl up to the top of a tube slide and then the girl's parents called her that it was time to leave. Zip, she's gone. That left Lauren up there alone, afraid, and crying. Judy was too preggo to go after her, so who got to go? Yeah, dear ol' dad. Not an easy piece of maneuvering for a grown man.
I saw that Mexico kiosk after we had recently eaten and was wishing I'd waited to get that. It looked so good!
I'm looking forward to your review of Welcome Home Wednesdays. We haven't done that yet and I'm wondering if it's worth heading over for it if you're not staying at the Boardwalk.
Ooooh, I've been there-at McDonalds, climbing to the very top due to a crying child.
I was just about to contort my body through the tubes at Mission: Space but very thankfully, I didn't have to!
Review of WHW coming up soon, hopefully today. I'll say this though-it was fun, and there were prizes and snacks....but I don't think I would go out of my way for it. If you are at Epcot that day and need a break, or if you happen to be nearby, or have a really relaxing trip with lots of "free time" it would be a fun and different option.
Oh my heart just sank for Henry when he was too short at the second measuring! Thank goodness they took him back up to the front and tried again
I love the TT ride photo with you and Joe both instinctively putting your arm across Henry before the big 'crash'. I still do that to my almost 15 year old when we have to stop quickly...
How was the guac in Mexico? I really like it as long as it's not really oniony, if it tastes too much like onions I won't eat it so I'm always afraid to order it.
I am SO glad that CM suggested we try again at the front with a manager watching! I felt so bad for him, he was so excited and then just deflated. I'm also glad the CMs are watching that closely and sticking to the rules.
As for the bracing your child thing...my Mom STILL does that to me and I'm 31.
When I was a teen I used to complain about it, but now I get it!
The guac was VERY good! I don't remember an onion-y taste at all...though I like just about any guac and I am a fan of onions. It was very fresh, and I don't recall any strong flavors it it at all, pretty smooth and even. We will eat at the Mexico CS this coming trip, I probably will get guac again, I'll try to remember to take a better note of the overall taste.
It looks like you had a wonderfully relaxing day at Epcot! I'm glad that Henry was able to ride Soarin! What a bummer that would have been! He looks like he loved both Soarin and TT! You and Joe are raising him well!
Henry knows how to draw just a handful of things...a car, people, a firetruck and....a Mickey Head.
I was so proud!!
Gee! So much to comment on!
First off, I think this was the Meet I completely either blew off, or spaced. Either way, I think I was not part of it.
Love me some Mexican food in any way, shape or form. Nummy! I totally hope the new place is as good as it was. I know some folks really don't care for it, but I really enjoyed the several times I've eaten there.
HOWEVER, now that I've done the Cava, I may opt now for appies and a marg in there.
YAYAYAYAYAY ! for Henry getting to Soar again!!! It must be so exciting for him to be a big boy for that and TT!
It was HOT!
maroo should have had the in-room water playground jets on our first day.
no plan... I'm so ambivalent on this- good for some days, NOT good for others.
As I was writing about the meet I thought you weren't able to join it for some reason--I think you ended up in a different park that day or something. But don't worry about it!
(the meet didn't happen!
)
I love Mexican too - so does Joe and Henry. We can't wait to try the new CS! We only ever ate at the old CS once, the poor reviews of it worried me, even though our one meal there was fine (from what I can recall anyway). I shouldn't have let them deter me though! I've read so many great reviews of the Cava. The food looks delicious!
Uh-oh...your comment on the "no plan" days makes me a bit nervous since our upcoming trip is full of them. Did you end up just feeling like you wasted a couple days?
In-room water jets....
Maybe they would have changed the "greeting".
Aw I was so glad to see that Henry got to ride Soarin this time
. Seeing the pics of Soarin gave me chills. I just love it!!
Such beautiful pics of the palm trees & blue skies
.
I have never heard of Deevy but she cracked me up with her "There's a lot of chunk in this trunk"
The McDonalds around here usually has the shakes for a couple of weeks so hopefully you will get yours somewhere.
I cannot wait to see those blue skies and palm trees again! It's been gray out for far too long (though, the the winter here is MUCHHHHHH shorter than MN!). I need some sunshine!
Deevy is hilarious, isn't she?! I love it! I think it's a bit bold and daring on Disney's part, which I like-it truly appeals to adults. And it's not too far over the line, just dancing at it from time to time!
She is a riot!
I reallyyyyyy hope I can get that shake while we are down there! I have it in my notes and I will be on the hunt!
