"Aargh. You threw off my groove!" - Emperor's New Groove
Once inside the little shop in Africa I immediately found t-shirts for the boys. They said Adventure Seeker on the front and listed on the back the 4 thrill rides in the park- Everest, Dinosaur, Kali, and Safari. I picked out a blue on for Joey and a green one for Adam.
I almost got a brown one for David but I wasn't sure he would wear it. I looked around for a shirt for Daisy but wasn't really seeing anything I thought she would like, when she came over with a very pretty necklace. So I told her I'd get the necklace for her. She bought some rings for her friends back home. Aunt Pat found the cutest stuffed tiger that she said had to come home with her. She carried it around the store until she thought of someone to buy it for. The tiger is now awaiting the arrival of my new nephew due the end of May. Joey and Adam spent most of the time trying to get me to touch fake snakes.
The CMs inside the store were great. Two older gentlemen who were super friendly and seemed to really enjoy their job. They kept pulling out new things to show the kids and let them play with.
I figured it was about enough time for David to be back so we walked over to the Safari Fast Pass entrance to wait for him. He soon showed up mission accomplished with the Dinosaur Fast Passes.
Now here is where my obsession with time and staying on schedule wigged me out a bit. After meeting back up with us David then decided he needed to find a bathroom. I swear he does stuff like this to bug me! If he had found a bathroom on his way back from Dinosaur and gone then, I never would have been the wiser and I wouldn't have felt like he was disturbing my schedule. Here I am all set for us to go on the Safari and he has to go to the bathroom.
I was annoyed and knew I was being ridiculous to be so annoyed, which served to further irritate me at my own ridiculousness. I was about to lose it, all because the man had to use the bathroom. Aunt Pat talked me back from the ledge, and I did manage to take one of my favorite pictures of the kids while we waited for David. Daisy is wearing her new necklace in it.
I stood there compulsively checking the time, peering off in the distance trying to catch sight of him coming back, I might even have been tapping my foot. When behind me I heard "What are you guys waiting for?"
"Daddy!" Adam cried and ran and jumped on him. That's Adam's standard greeting for David rather he's been gone 2 minutes or 2 weeks.
David had snuck around and surprised us, which the children found hilarious. I was just glad we could now get back to our schedule!
Off we went to use our Fast Passes for the Safari. We ended up in the second and third row of the jeep. Our driver was difficult to understand, but we gathered something about heading out on a two week safari?
Someone needs to come up with a recipe for Jungle Juice.
David makes fun of me all the time for playing "Dress Up Daisy."
I survived today at school.
