Same routine as yesterday. Silver Dollar City in morning, swimming in the hotel pool in the afternoon, and Celebration City at night. Girls falling asleep quickly.
Things we've learned on this trip:
1. With children, you have to be flexible. So what if they are not getting a nutrious breakfast. At least they are eating something. So what if they stay up hours past their bedtime. At least they are going to sleep. So what if they play in a water fountain and get soaked right before you head for home. At least they were having fun. So what if they want to do things differently than you thought in your head. At least they are having fun!! So what if everything is not like you would do at home--you have to be flexible!
2. People lose all common sense on vacation. As Bobby says, "they dumb down". They stop right in the middle of a crowd to look at their map, causing you to bump into them. They forget all manners. They forget how to drive in traffic. They forget how waiting in line requires patience and and an orderly system.
3. When you have a child with a cast, people stare and ask questions.
4. When I have to wait in line, I chew off my fingernails.
Funny story before I close: we got the girls airbrush tattoos on their ankles. Bobby was in line with Kaylin for a ride, and the lady behind them asked if it was an airbrush tattoo. Bobby said he wanted to reply, "no, we got our 4 year old a real tattoo." See Lessons Learned #2 above.
