Divide and conquer

This morning, Andy took B and L back to Blizzard Beach while E and I decided to go to Magic Kingdom and do a little shopping (without L begging for everything in sight!). It was a successful mission. I found a cute Mickey Mouse wine stopper and managed to get E on the Haunted Mansion ride.

It was a hot day, though, so E and I went back to the resort pool and met Andy and the kids there. L was able to join in the kids' pool party. She played a variety of relay games with the promise that there was a prize at the end of the party. The prize turned out to be a really small bottle of bubbles. Course, she wasn't too happy about that. She did admit, though, that she had a good time playing the games.

We went back to Magic Kingdom before it was time for our dinner reservation at Chef Mickey's. We tried to get a nice picture of the kids in front of Cinderella's castle.

Here's L trading pins again with a castmember. All week long, we'd turn around and she'd be gone - a few steps behind us trading pins. At least this time we knew where she was. And here at the other two goofs on the People Mover ride in Tomorrow Land.

Tonight was our dinner at Chef Mickey's. By now the kids know the drill - the characters come to the table, they get up, we snap a couple of pictures and send the characters on their way to the next table. The kids enjoy the buffet.
