This morning we have a 9 am ps for Whispering Canyon, so we are up, ready and out the door. Terry and the boys order the skillet breakfast and love it, I however order two eggs because I am not very hungry. Zach and Nick are made hats, out of napkins by our server, and are not thrilled that have to wear them but they do. I get a picture as they look so cute. Very slow in here this morning and rather quiet. There is one poor guy who is really getting teased by his server, and another server who is hysterical, but otherwise its rather quiet.

We decided to rent some water sprites here and take the boys out on the lagoon. Before we know it our time is up and the boys want to go again another day. Back up to our room to see what we will do next. Time to find the cell phone, we have not used it in a few days and need to check our messages. We've missed a few messages from Bill (RhinoDad), so I give him a call back. He is heading over to Magic Kingdom with Kerrigan so hopefully we will be able to meet up. We catch the boat to the Magic Kingdom and head straight over to the Hall of Presidents. We've never done this with the boys, and they like it so much we do it twice. Then, they ask us if they can look in the store to buy a book on the Presidents and Mom is thrilled. As we head overto the Country Bear Jamboree, we are invited into the old Diamond Horseshoe. We go in and it is pretty much packed with people all standing in the middle of the room. A young woman is singing and dancing and then Goofy joins her. Once she mentions that they want all of the kids to go do some country western dancing, my boys announce that they are "outta here". So we leave, which is fine with me because there was only a few benches to sit on and they are all taken. So on to the Country Bear Jamboree.

Now we're hungry so we stop at Pecos Bill's for something to eat. After lunch I give Bill a call and find out he is in the park and over byt the Enchanted Grove with Mike S and Carol. The boys are excited because they have already met Mike and Carol and can't wait to tell the what we have been doing on vacation. As we start to walk over, it starts to pour.

Finally we make it and they are all sitting at a table under an umbrella. The rain has stoppped and it is nice to finally meet Bill and sweet Kerrigan. We pull up a few chairs and enjoy talking with everyone. By now is is so extremely muggy I am soaked. I don't know why but the late afternoons always seem o be the hottest. Kerrigan has captured the hearts of my boys. We sit there for quite awhile enjoying the company of all. It's so nice sitting here talking with folks who I've met online. When it's time to leave, Kerrigan holds out her arms for the boys to hug her. When she hugs each one of them, it is the sweetest thing. What a little angel she is.

Time to go to the Indy Speedway. Nick is a smidge to short for his own car, and a little disappointed but the boys ride together and have fun. Next is the Transit Authority, Carousel of Progress, Buzz, and Astro Orbitor. We're worn out, so we catch the boat back to the Wilderness, but first stop at the Main Street Confectionery for a caramel apple and rice krispis treats.

Once back to the Wildreness, we run into the the Roaring Forks to grab some snacks and head up to our room to catch the fireworks. Terry really loves having this room. He thinks the woodsview is his favortie spot and loves seeing the fireworks at night. We really love this resort, and think it will probably be the one we will always choose.

Coming Tomorrow...Epcot, Test Track, and Mission Space

My daughter was so excited to finally be tall enough to drive at the Speedway. Me too-b/c now I don't have to ride with her, lol. I have almost worked up the courage to rent some water sprites on our next vacation-they sound like so much fun!
