Relaxing and BBQ!

Today, we took some time for rest and relaxation. Well, I say that, but I woke up at 5:22 to a little boy tapping on my arm saying "mommy get up, I want to go home and have chicken pie!" Poor little thing woke up hungry because he was too tired from all the fun yesterday to sit down and actually eat his dinner. So he got some pop tarts and then watched some quality Disney cartoons for a couple hours before we started our official day!

This morning we hung around the hotel. Isaac explored Goofy's splash grounds, the pool, and enjoyed some of the characters scattered around the hotel grounds.

He even got to play some games in the arcade.

After lunch, we headed to the room for naps. Then it was up and off on our afternoon/evening adventures. We took a ride around the monorail loop before heading by boat over to Fort Wilderness for Mickey's Backyard BBQ. It was an all you can eat buffet so we had plenty to eat before the show began. The show itself was a country show that included Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip & Dale, and a good band playing country music. (They also had a guy that did rope tricks but as soon as he did his whip cracking trick Isaac was done with that part of the show! He's not a fan of loud noises and that scared him.) He did have quite a bit of fun dancing with the characters and seeing Chip & Dale.

(For those of you wondering...NO...I did not steal a whole watermelon from the buffet. I'm just that big!)

After the show, we went back to the boat dock and watched the fireworks across the lake at the Magic Kingdom. The electric water show followed soon after...and though it was not as cool as I remembered it as a kid (I told Brian it was impressive for the days back when all we had was cassette players and walkmans)...Isaac seemed to think it was pretty cool, and that's all that matters to me.

Brian "drawing" Isaac in the sand while we waited for the show to start.

Isaac fell asleep on the bus ride back to the hotel and he's out for the night. Our one mission for the last 2 days of our trip is going to be to find Donald Duck. He seems to be the one character on Isaac's list right now!
