Vacay 2013 - Part 3

Day 2 at BG: begin!

We started out with a nice thrill-seeking ride on Montu for Mom.  I dropped the kids off in the sand-pit play area, with Daddy, while I walked onto the ride.  It gave me just enough of an adrenaline rush to get the day started off great!

My boys weren't too thrilled that I was on a life-threatening ride.  They're so protective of their mama.

We couldn't figure out why or how Nathan was disappearing into the hippos stomach underneath.  Then, viola!  He's literally and figuratively taking me places I've never been before.

 

Sometimes, you just can't deny what's inside.

This kid makes me laugh.

 

And smile.

 

This was the closest the peacock (standing on top of the rail) would let them get to him to take a picture.  "Quick, hurry, go stand there and smile!"

 

The girl child was NOT interested one bit in anything that sounded like, looked like or resembled a roller coaster.  Until she saw her little brother enjoy one with mama.  Now look, she, "Look mom, no hands!" and all.

 

This was about the time that I started realizing Brandon was feeling warmer than the normal FL heat warm.

 

We made a quick trip by the First Aid station, realized he was running a fever, and headed back to the hotel room for naps.  This is how we roll when visiting theme parks.  It gives us a break from the heat and lets us all rest up for staying later at the park.

 

Our first visit back was to see the Madagascar Live! show.

 

This is what our kids do when the dancers have the audience up and dancing.

 

Nathan opted for a bengal tiger stuffed animal.  Katherine wanted to have her face painted like a beautiful butterfly.

 

Here, the boys are patiently waiting for Katherine and I to ride the zip line.

 

 

This is our view from the zip line.

 

 

"Look mom, no hands!"

 

Katherine practicing her camera skills.

 

Our final adventure was the Kinetics and fireworks show.

 

We opted to head home the next morning instead of stopping by the Children's Museum or staying another day at BG because Brandon was still running a fever.  Two days later, a trip to the Dr.'s office showed he had an ear infection.  Couldn't have anything to do with him licking the mirror within 30 seconds of us arriving in the hotel room.  Right?
