In the middle of the night last night, I really wasn't certain what today was going to hold. Were were going to go straight home? Were we going to hit the park for a little bit and then head home? Or were we going to hit the park, go to another park tomorrow morning and then go home? No one slept all the way through last night. We all slept horribly. Between Love Bug's croupy cough, The Mayor's feverish awakenings, mine and D's coughing fits...I told myself we were waking up, going to Magic Kingdom for a few hours and then heading home to Georgia. We would take the loss on the hotel and missing one day at a park.
We took our time bathing and showering and were at Magic Kingdom right when the gates opened. We went straight to Space Mountain where The Mayor and I rode it (it was my first time). He loved it, and asked if we could ride it again. We went straight back in and walked right onto the ride again. Then he wanted to ride with D. The Mayor rode Space Mountain 3 times in less than 20 minutes. There was no line. He was squealing and so happy. His fever was so high I could feel it through his hand as I held it but he acted like a normal, healthy kid. They kept wanting to more rides so we let them.
We met Buzz Lightyear, rode tons of rides and were back in our hotel by 4:00. When we got back, the kids were literally running laps around the room. Not exactly how kids with fevers should be acting...then D crashed and burned. We had to take him to the ER...and he has Flu B as well. Which I guess is a good thing since they also x-rayed his lungs for pneumonia. I guess Flu is better than pneumonia...right?? We found a 24 hour pharmacy and he has Tamiflu and Tylenol with Codeine to help with the cough.
Tomorrow morning is a quick run through Animal Kingdom and then home. We need to leave early enough to get home at a decent hour but late enough to avoid Atlanta afternoon rush hour. We are planning on going and riding the safari so the kids can see the animals and then hitting the road. I can't wait to be home in our own beds and then to our own doctors on Tuesday. This has been both the best and absolute worst vacation...ever.
his new favorite thing...pretending to sleep and asking you to take a picture so he can see how "cute" he is while he sleeps. I don't know where he gets it...
