Thursday - Day 3
We decided to take it easy after a long, fun day at Sea World yesterday. Plus the kids were anxious to get into the pool! We swam all morning, had lunch here at the house and then in the afternoon Dad and Tom put up a ceiling fan for cousin Lynn and the kids both napped for about 3 hours!! For dinner we went to Giordoni's pizza and had Chicago style deep dish pizza. The kids were entertained by a guy who made balloon animals for them while we waited for our food. Since it was raining we stayed in for the rest of the evening.
Friday - Day 4
We went to Disney's Magic Kingdom. Our understanding is that we came at a "slow" time of year. I honestly cannot imagine coming at a "busy" time of year. Crowds are just not my thing! There were a lot of people, however the wait time for the rides really was not that bad, averaging 10-25 minutes. There was really only one ride that we wanted to go on but didn't get to because of it being an hour long wait. I think everyone's favorite was the Space Mountain roller coaster, followed by Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Other rides that we went on were Pirates of the Caribbean, Swiss Family Treehouse, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Walt Disney World Railroad (took us from one end of the park to the other), Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, Mickey's Philhar Magic, Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, The Barnstormer (a little roller coaster), and Tomorrowland Speedway. We splurged and had lunch at the Crystal Palace and got to meet Tigger, Pooh, Piglet and Eyore.
All day long, Cora was super quiet and almost in a trance. She went along with everything that we wanted to do, didn't whine at all, but was just not herself - just like she was at Sea World. On the way home, we grabbed McDonald's for dinner and soon after she perked right up and was herself again. Again, we think it's just sensory overload for this little country girl.
Saturday - Day 5
Hard to believe we are on the tale end of our trip. Today we started out the day swimming for a couple hours, had lunch at the house and then hit a couple of flea markets (for Dad, of course!) I'm glad that we had another rest day scheduled cause we are all tired, especially the kids. Cora is currently napping and is easily going on two hours now!
