I'm posting from our hammock, early morning, still in pjs. This will be our 4th day onsite. It's a fort at home day.
Most of the family still sleeping from a late night at the MK. But Ds9 plays tether ball across from the pop up and exchanges family stats and impressions of the MK mountains with neighbor boys.
Dd17 is fishing again, this time over the bridge to the Meadow Trading Post. Using Frank's hot dogs, which have been better than anything in her tackle box. She wonders about using minnows. Says even this early, little lizards have staked out thier warm spot on the bridge way. A mallard family are also fishing.
The "Doooonng", off-to-never-land sound of the boat launch just sounded. The bustop parents, quietly chatting w/children to 'drink thier juice and finish your bagel' just filed onto the yellow route to settlement bus. The sweeper truck is a loop or two over. 2 squirrels check out the pine ones underneath me, a grackle bird hops down our table. An egret flies to the canal path.
The sun grows warmer, it will be the hottest day today in our 2 weeks here. Towels and suits need to come down off the line. Dds11 and13 wanted me to wake them so they could check out the trading post pin board, which only comes out at 7 and 12. Another bus goes by, taking an older couple and thier Maltese- no, they leave pup with friend- to pick up a modem kit at the outpost.
Tenting Neighbor Dad rubs a white WDW oval on the rear window of their vehicle. They must be having a good time. Now the kids are singing "zippity do dah between bits of "can you do this?" A jet brrrhs overhead, and I am glad we are not on it.
Now they are chopping up tree limbs, one loop over, fallen from the thunderstorms earlier this week. No more rain until sat. Or sun. Mid 80's, cloudless. Amazing thought: Did you know the CS are cleaned-besides the daytime visits- at 1 in the morning? And a cast member said the COmfort stations are now left locked, needing cards to open, all day, 90 percent of the time now. My kids are collecting cast member autographs. They have become thier favorite "characters".
Ahhhh....the smell of somebody else's pancakes reminds me what I, also, am supposed to be doing. :
I think we will skip'em and have instant oatmeal this morning, and biscuits left over from our second Giddy up and Go meal, and go swim instead.

Great writing and thanks for sharing!!!
A CM, giving me a break and trying to spread some magic, came over and said she grew up in a big family too, and understood what it could be like.
