It's Wednesday so it must be Waterpark Day

Rewind to Tuesdady evening... Mary & I bought phones in Walmart before dinner.

The Sudbays called around yesterday evening for dinner. Rita has dislocated her shoulder and broken her upper arm. She will need to have a pin implanted when she gets home. Even still, she was in good form. We had a couple of sideshows: Karin showed us photos of Chuck & rita's 50th wedding anniversary. I showed the photos & video of the days events.

Today we hit Typhoon Lagoon. It's a water park with a big wave pool in the middle. The water was really warm and every couple of minutes, a huge wave crashed onto the shore. Very popular with all the children! Another popular feature was a river that flowed around the park. You pick up an inflatable ring at one stop and sit on it as it meanders through the park. Get off at any stop you like. It's much nicer that it sounds.

The girls did the river ride again and Áine went on some of the kids rides. Click on the video to see her in action. Meanwhile, the boys went on one of the bigger water slides. After a long queue, we sat on inflatables and shot down an around the slide. Donal, Ronan & Marty seemed to love it but Micheál (with me) wasn't so sure. I think the chute we went down was a bit more exciting than the others.

After lunch it was back on the river ride and wave pool until the park closed & we left. We got dinner and went shopping on the way home. After a quick supper, the kids went to bed.

Today's (Thursday) plan is for most of the adults to go shopping in the afternoon and the kids lounge by the pool. As of now (10:00) they are all in bed. Later, we plan going to the Magic Kingdom to see the parade & fireworks.

Sorry this episode is so late but you'll have to get used to it.
