Yesterday we spent the first part of the day at Typhoon Lagoon water park. Meghan spent the better part of her time in the kids section, called Ketchikiddee Creek. Pee wee water slides, fountains and water cannons.
Connor and I spent most of our time at the wave pool, which spits out 10 foot waves every 90 seconds. Turns out you're actually less likely to get clocked if you're close to where the waves start rather than farther away. Simple logic - 10 foot wave starts off in 6 1/2 feet of water. By the time it gets to the shallows, all of that water is compressed to about 2 feet, cutting the legs out from under mom, dad and aunt Martha. And still they come. The actual highlight for us as a "family" was the ritual of getting (temporary) tattoos together. Connor went for the manly arm wrap, Meghan for a gaggle of princesses, while Marie and I paid homage to our favorite cartoon characters, Dory from "Finding Nemo" and Mike Wazowski from "Monsters, Inc.".
Afternoon thunderstorms ended our day at Typhoon Lagoon, so we spent the evening shopping and eating at Downtown Disney, where you can literally hear the money flying past your ears. One of the highlights was Connor in his glory at the Lego store
and Connor and Meghan both creating and tricking out rides at RideMakerz.
Boy, we cover a lot of ground in one day down here!
