So we left DHS to go to AK. Kira LOVES AK. It is her favorite park. I think this is what influenced our near obsessive visits to AK on this trip. I did not schedule us to go there on this day... but somehow we ended up there.
Honestly, I remember very little about getting there. Did we go back to POFQ first and then take a bus to AK? Did we take a bus from DHS to AK?
I
think that is what we did.
Ak never stays open long though, so we really didn't have a lot of time to spend.
We went to watch FOTLK. We were rather early and got great seats. However, not as good as the people ahead of us who decided that they would just go ahead and sit in the handicap section.
It was sad when a cm came up and instructed them that the seats were needed for a family with someone in a wheel chair. The dad about lost his mind. He had got there first. He had come early. Why did they need all of those seats when the person in the chair had a seat?!?
See, by the time the family who needed the seats showed... the theater was quite packed. The rows directly behind tried to accommodate he and his family, but it was tight and in the end they had to split up in order to all get seats. Now... I found him incredibly rude and HORRIBLY insensitive. However... I do think there is something to be frustrated by when the family comes in just before the door closes and gets a good seat.
Moving on though... as I said we had good seats.
But wait... who got picked for something?
It wasn't long though in the marching that I could tell something was up with Zoe. She had that look. That look that told me she was fighting the pain.
She came over to me and I knew we had to get to a restroom asap. Course, they dont let you get up and leave.
I cradled her and told Kira and Amanda that they needed to grab everything because once they let us out, I would be making a bee line for the restroom with Zoe. They shook their head.. but apparently had no idea what I was talking about.
Show over I stood up with Zoe in my arms. I tried to hustle out ahead of the crowd and got yelled at by a cm. She would not let me leave just yet. Zoe by this time was crying.
Meanwhile, Kira and Amanda had no clue where I had just went. (and I didn't know this) I got Zoe to the restroom. (good grief she is heavy) and we took care of business. I kept expecting the girls to come in... so we waited. They never did.
I did not have my cell phone since it was with the girls. They were a bit panicked. They did not know how to figure out where I was. (to me it would seem obvious
)
Zoe and I went out to the character spots and met characters while we waited. I figured they had to retrace and come back to us at some point, yes?
Well, eventually they did. Well, Kira did. She was not particularly happy. She nor Amanda were all that happy. But there really was nothing I could have done. Zoe was more important to me at the time.
Once we were all together though, the stress level came down and we were back on track for a good day!
So we decided to take a relaxing train ride.
We spent some time up at rakii's planet watch, but the park was about to close so we pretty much rode up and then back.
With the park closing it was time to go to yet another park.
Next Up:
10/1 - Day 7 Part 3
Too funny!
and be happy. So running is a pretty important part of the race for me. It doesn't have to be though... for the most part as long as you can maintain a 16 minute mile you can walk and have fun with characters (and really even that isn't the case if you start in an early enough corral... I know that close to an 18 minute mile was held for the phm and people were not removed from the course)
It must have been what Kira had.
