disney magic

we were in orlando, florida, last week with family (my mom and her husband, winn's sister vonda, her husband jason, jason's aunt carlena, and our two nieces, kylie and brynlie). two of those days, we spent at the magic kingdom. wyatt and seth loved every minute of it, and seeing the joy on their faces was totally worth the sheer exhaustion and near heatstroke that was my experience.

this picture was taken right after we all rode thunder mountain. wyatt and seth officially love roller coasters.

other noteworthy experiences:
  • wyatt and seth were tall enough to ride space mountain (this is a BIG deal), and it didn't scare them one bit. seth's exact words, as we cruised to a stop, were "that wasn't crazy at all."

  • i have a bone to pick with the state of florida and the city of orlando about their road signage--or lack thereof. my mom and i were caught for 2 hours in the black hole of their intricate system of toll roads. it seemed like some kind of sinister plot to keep tourists lost and confused and shelling out money, and i'm not so sure it wasn't. i'm going to draft a letter to governor charlie crist asap.

  • there was an alligator in the lake beside our condos. my mom got her ire up just the teeniest bit and called the management about it. they said they hadn't had any complaints, and my mom said, "so if the alligator eats my two grandsons, that will be the first?"

  • seth has some new dance moves. he showed them off at a restaurant we went to that had live music. check it out:

Oh no, I can't watch the awesome new dance moves!

Sorry about the technical difficulties w/ the video. I think I fixed it? If not, I hope I hear from my personal technical support team--winn, ed, andy, jeromie. . .??

I think the problem is you have it as a private video instead of public video in your Youtube account settings.

Miska said...

thanks, justin. i changed the settings, but there were other problems. i kept getting a message in html about some tag not being closed or something, which of course made no sense to me. i finally just uploaded it to blogger and forgot about youtube.

i'm hoping that since you offered some tech support, you might consider being a part of my official personal technical support team? i'm not going to lie--it's quite an illustrious position.

I'm his dad, but can I still say that Seth's dance is just the absolute best.

And Wyatt's courage and sense of adventure on the coasters was freakin' awesome!

SWEET. This is the big break I've been waiting for!
