We left Finding Nemo, it was still a pretty steady drizzle but I was in such a good mood from the show I still felt warm and fuzzy. Grant on the other hand was hating life because of the rain. He said in all his trips to Disney World both as a child and as an adult it had rained more on this trip than all the other trips combined. He could have been exaggerating but either way he was not a happy camper.
Jenny told him to quit his whining and just suck it up like everybody else and that seemed to do the job, Grant smiled and said that its tough to be a bug would keep us out of the rain, so we headed that way. I was thrilled to find out that its tough to be a bug was inside the tree of life and how perfect that the bug show would be in a tree, its just art imitating life right?
I took my time looking at all the animal carvings, letting people pass me by in line (what little line there was) so that I could just take it all in. Rig was just as into it as I was, pointing to things that he found intriguing or thought I might have missed. It was obvious that Jenny and Grant had done this a million times, they just kind of hung back and waited for us but didnt really look close at the things around them. I hope that in my life if I ever get to visit Disney world as many times as Jenny and Grant do that I never lose the wonder. I cant imagine at this point only having gone once that I would ever tire of the amazing things big and small that Disney has out there, I think I will always look at it as if its the first time I am seeing it.
We gathered outside the theater and had some time to wait for the next show, so Rig and I looked around at the movie posters featuring bugs, it doesnt take much to make Rig laugh, he was just rolling at some of the posters.
The bug glasses had Rig laughing and cutting up the most. He would put them on and start talking about some deep subject, but I couldnt take him seriously while he was wearing those glasses, and that was his point. But the most funniest thing was Rig trying to be suave with those glasses on.
Picture this if you will. Rig in his cowboy hat, sexy in every way, walking up to me who is leaning against the wall. He has on his big bug eye glasses. Puts one hand on the wall behind me and leans into me, So, beautiful. Is this your first time in the tree? I dont think Ive seen you around here before, trust me these eyes of mine would remember seeing you.
Jenny was snorting up a storm at that scene. Rig just kept it up though, he turned to Grant who refused to put his glasses on until the very last minute, because really these glasses are not cool ( not on grown men anyway). So Rig has on his bug eyes and he starts acting like a tough guy, You talkin to me? Hes trying really hard to walk with a tough guy swagger, Grant is just laughing so hard he is crying. what? Rig asked looking around holding his arms out, You think somethins funny? Come at me brah!
Grant lost it and his laugh sounded like a siren.
Oh thats it Brah, Rig said pounding his chest, Babylee hold my hat, your man got some buidness to tend to.
(yea he said buidness, not business) then he blew me a kiss.
It was a sight to see, very entertaining and the other people waiting to go into the show enjoyed it just as much as the three of us did. When Rig cuts up he goes all out, never a dull moment when he gets in the mood to let loose.
For me being down in the cave like structure reminded me of Carlsbad Caverns, I mean they didnt have the stalactites and stalagmites but the damp darkness and supposedly being way under ground just brought back the memory. Rig agreed with me that it had that feel, and also agreed that our day trip to the caverns back in our dating days was one of the best trips we had taken, we would most definitely rank it in the top 10. I think Rig liked Carlsbad so much because it was dark
all the time! We had taken the guided tour on the walk down into the caverns, (but explored the great room ourselves) and our guide had gathered us in an area with benches, had us all sit down and just to show us that there was absolutely no light down there at all she flipped the lever and the lights went out and the place was total darkness, your eyes couldnt even adjust to the dark, there wasnt anyway they could, of course Rig and I took full advantage of this, but then the lady lit a match and the whole place lit up, from one tiny match. And also we got caught in the midst of our PDA and was given a few whistles and some applause.
Seems like Disney sparked a lot of memories from Rigs and mine dating past, and now things in everyday life sparks memories of Disney for us.
The doors finally opened up and we were let into the theater. Jenny said you get the best of everything if you sit in the middle, closer to the front but not in front. So we just followed her.
I had Jenny on my left and Rig on my right. Rig asked me if I wanted some cowboy love. I declined, I wanted to see the bug show, so he took off his hat and put on his bug glasses again,
Want some bug love? he asked
Not at the moment. I laughed.
Babylee, do you still find me attractive? Do I still make your heart flutter?
Enough with the glasses Rig, I cant take you seriously with those things on.
I like these, I wonder if I could buy me a pair, Id wear these around the ranch, these things are happening.
Not a minute too soon, because Rig was driving me crazy, the lights went down and the show started. At first I wasnt impressed, I liked the animatronics but it seemed like the
3-D effect at first was just so so. But it picked up. I liked the giant fly swatter, that was cute, and getting sprayed with bug spray, super funny. However getting stung in my back, not cool! I screamed and flew forward out of my seat.
Are you ok, Lee? Rig asked
Im fine. I said laughing
That was really unexpected. I has wondered what the holes in the seats were for, and when the mist sprayed down figured the holes were for drainage, stupid I know, its not like they dump huge gobs of water on you, but I really had no idea what else the holes could be for. Now I do.
At then end of the show they asked that the critters get to leave first, and of course I am thinking families with small children, I dont know why I thought that either, then I felt it on my rear end. Do you want to laugh? Next time you go see its tough to be a bug, watch the dozens of people in stupid looking bug eye glasses jump up from their seats and scream.
We left the bug show and Rig was reluctant to hand in his glasses, he had bonded with them he said, they completed him
.
It was still drizzling but not as hard as it had been. We went back for another ride on Dinosaur and this time we were seated in the back, its a much different ride in the back, you definitely get tossed around more. This is one ride that if you were to try and make out on somebody would lose a tooth for sure. I am not speaking from experiencing at all either, Rig and I were too smart to pull something that dumb, Im just saying, or call it warning, no PDA on dinosaur, it wont end well. Just enter this ride with the intent to see dinosaurs and nothing else.
We left Dinosaur and came out to it raining again. Rig said he could hear the dinner bell and asked if anybody else could hear it. That was just his way of saying he was hungry and wanted some food.
We discussed our options, Jenny said she thought Rig would really like Flame Tree Bar-b-que since he wasnt big on trying new things. Rig was all for bar-b-que and that is where we went.
I gave Rig my order and was going to go find us a table, Grant gave Jenny his order, but Rig said let the girls find the table and the men bring the food and Grant was ok with that. So Jenny and I got us a table, it wasnt too crowded, finding a table was easy, maneuvering around was a little hard, they really pack the table and chairs into a small space, you do a lot of squeezing in between things to get through. The eating area is outside but it is under a roof, you have coverage from the rain but not from the cold.
I had all the napkins, straws, plastic utensils, sauces and what nots waiting for when the guys came with their trays of food.
I had gotten the pulled pork, and Rig got the ribs, he liked the ribs but said he had had better. My sandwich was really tasty though.
Jenny and Grant just eat the food they are given, there is no bartering or trading and all that fun stuff that Rig and I do. I didnt like the beans, Rig loved the beans, he thought the coleslaw was too soupy I thought it was perfect so we did a lot of trading.
The dessert, I couldnt tell you what anybody else got, it was chocolaty thats all I know, whether it was cake, brownie or pudding, it didnt matter to me, I had gotten the key lime pie. That is where the dessert is at! (still not as good as the chocolate wave but it is a very close second, so close it could be a tie, well have to go to the judges for that one.)
They had all started in on their dessert, I was kind of lagging behind, but I am a firm believer in not rushing dessert, it should be eaten slow and every bite savored, Rig said I would be great in commercials where you have to eat because I make those dingy dreamy faces that the actresses make when they bite into their tasteless sugar free jello. Obvioulsy they are faking it, but not me, I dont front when it comes to dessert.
So I bite into my keylime pie. And Rig said, Look at her face, that must be some good pie.
I couldnt speak, it was good pie, all I could do was smile. Then it happened
.
Rig extended his fork towards my dessert and I panicked, there wasnt enough of this pie to allow any sample tasting for anybody else. Rig is a great guy I thought, and he always shares his dessert, he never complains when I commandeer his brownie or any other dessert and just leave him with maybe a bite, or even less. I could give him a tiny taste. But as his hand drew nearer, I dont know what made me do it, but I forked him.
Do NOT touch my keylime pie or so help me I will stab you in your sleep.
I felt bad after I said that. Rig thought it was amusing, the look on his face said that. Half crooked smile and one eyebrow raised.
Im sorry Rig, I dont know what got into me, you can try the pie.
Rig shook his head, aint no dessert in the world worth being shanked over.
I'm pretty sure I would have a heart attack on Expedition Everest 
Or throw my back out at the very least!
So then you'll just need to go again so you can write another one. 
You and Rig look so cute together...I'm going to celebrate my 17th anniversary in december and everyday I'm more in love w/ my wonderful husband...
