Happy 4th ....

   So today was our last full day at Disney.

We all slept in ..... some (guess who?) slept WAY in.  

I went to the pool this morning ..... feeling way better than yesterday.  Still a bit wobbly, but no hurling.  Yay for no hurling.

     I hung out at the pool through a brief rain storm .... just sat through it since I was already wet.  Then the sun came back out, intensely, and everyone was dry in no time.  But then a storm threatened again, this time with lightening and thunder so they kicked everyone away from the pool area.

The entire area.

Which is a HUGE area!

By this time Son #3 was already back at the parks .... happily riding away.  Son #2 had found an arcade so he was fairly happy.

I enjoyed watching all of the kids playing games that the resort had set up for the day around the pool.  Watching .... and remembering.

It's mostly fun to watch and remember when they're screaming ..... or pouting .... when they're hot and tired and hungry.

And just thank God that I survived all of that.  :)

     After coming in from the pool Son #2 and I met up with Son #3 at Epcot.  We stood in a long line, where a woman had just hurled moments before we got there.  Not enough moments to clean it up, but enough to cover it up with paper towels.  Guess she got a bit hot.  Or had whatever I had .... poor thing.  

I'm just glad that we missed it by moments ..... or I would've had to hurl right next to her!

Ugh.

It was some "going into space" ride that was mostly simulation.  It was pretty intense at one point (they gave us lots of warnings about being in good enough health for the ride, which I of course questioned, but also, of course, kept my mouth shut about).  You are an astronaut in training on this ride and everyone is assigned a job.  I was less than thrilled to be chosen to be the navigator (ummmm, I think I just recently addressed my lack of directional skills yesterday).  I didn't want a job .... I just wanted to ride the dang thing!  But it was cool because the Sons and I were in a "room" all to ourselves for this ride.

You have a screen in front of you so that you can see the view as your "shuttle" takes off ..... going zero to six THOUSAND in a matter of seconds.  They did an awesome job of making you feel the G force ...... very awesome.

So awesome that they provide "hurl bags" on the ride, which we noticed only seconds before everything started.  Jim's line .... always .... before every single ride, was, "Son #2, I don't have a good feeling about this".  

Every.  Single.  Time.  

Which sometimes drove Son #2 nuts, as it was intended.

It was my turn to say that line today ..... when Son #3 pulled out the bags and asked what they were.  

They were both quite disgusted when I told them "barf bags" and I got a bit worried and then it was too late.  We were shot into space.

It was fun and of course, over way to soon.

We walked around a bit and then made our way back to the hotel.  We have re-packed our bags for tomorrow and the two Son will be heading back out into the parks tonight.

I plan to sit on the "beach" here at the hotel, watch the fireworks from all over the park, and watch "National Treasure 2" on a big inflated screen down there (they had the first one last night --- it was pretty cool to see it for a bit).

    Since my stomach was still a bit "iffy" today I didn't want to take any of the meds for my hip.  I could tell a big difference by the afternoon.

Hopefully I can get back on schedule tomorrow ....... wait ..... have to laugh a bit on that one.

Like I have any capacity to remember to take meds throughout the day anyway!!!!  What a hoot!

I can manage morning and evening.  But that's about it.  Everything else is just hit and/or miss.  Mostly miss.

     OK ... that's about it for tonight.  I need to get out there before ay fireworks start, which should be at any moment.

Thanks so much for all of your comments and encouragement and prayers, Peeps.  I hope you all know how much they, and you, mean to me.

     I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend celebrating our wonderful nation .... warts and all.

     Hopefully I'll keep twittering and posting!

See you out on the ocean tomorrow!!

P.S.  T in Vegas ..... Roberta forwarded me your e-mail.  Thank you SO much for the laughs!!  Bless your heart .... I think your vacation topped mine .... all I had was some hurling!!!  Thanks for thinking of me .... and for wanting to make me smile.  You did a great job.  I'm SO looking forward to meeting you in 2 weeks!!!!
