 We decided to pool hop today here at the Grand Floridian
pool. DVC members are allowed to pool hop as a perk of membership
when the pools aren’t overly busy.  We changed into bathing suits in the pool restrooms and
then walked over to the Marina to use some free tickets we had gotten
last year during our trip. We had two tickets for 30 free minutes
in the boats – so both Kristen and I each took out one of the mouse
boats for a spin around the lake. Kristen was a bit nervous about
driving it, but did great!  They are fun and easy to drive. Everyone has to
wear a life vest, and then they give you a quick briefing of the rules
and how to drive the boat. Then you are off! We circled
around most of 7 Seas Lagoon and over to Bay Lake, before heading back
to the GF.  Lots of fun! It was while we
were approaching the Wilderness Lodge area that I found out that I have
a stalker! :-) Who comes flying up next to me, but
Dennis! LOL. I can’t believe that we saw him again
today.  I even have the proof (that’s him
in the picture). I was a great coincidence and he and Jenine
looked to be having fun! :-) I also got a few other
pictures around the lakes.
 Back to the marina
just as it starts to rain a bit. Its been pretty wet this
vacation, but it hasn’t really slowed us down much. This little
storm passes before we even get back to the main GF pool (with the
slide).  We enjoy that for a
bit, but a real storm eventually rolls in. After the first
lightening is seen, it’s everyone out of the pool!
 The girls have been
asking about getting a Hair Wrap, and this seems like a perfect
opportunity. They both are amazingly good and stay still while
they are put in. (Like they EVER sit still this long when their
mother or I need to even brush their hair!) :-)
They came out good, and they really liked them. The pool was
still closed and even though we slept well last night, everyone is a bit
tired. We decide to head back to the room for a nap. Jumped
on the Monorail and then the boats from the MK back to the Wilderness
Lodge. |

After breakfast we
still had almost an hour to go, so we first walked back to the
Mouseketeer Club, and found all of the aprons the girls had painted laid
out to dry. (Picture op!) We headed back in to do some
shopping and then back down to the GF Cafe Lobby to meet the girls
there. 
They showed up promptly at 11:45 all decked out in their
colored Chef Hats and painted aprons. There was a big try full of
their special recipe of the day: Mud and Dirt and Worms! (Oh Yum!)
:-) They spent a few minutes passing out their little dishes of
the dessert to passers by (when they could find a willing victim!)
:-) It was a lot of fun – and the dessert was actually pretty
good!
