Day Four

Benj started his day with a pirate treasure hunt. We set off for the Grand Floridian where he boarded his ship and went in search of Gasprilla's treasure. No parents allowed so we are at his mercy for details. He says they had to follow clues and find a bottle, a coconut, and of course the treasure. Inside the big box was little boxes for all the pirates on board. He wasn't off long before he informed us he couldn't wait to do it again. Daddy and i hung out on a hammock on the beach while we waited. We had specific instructions that we were to draw in his "workshop" while he was gone, so we did just that. After lunch, we made our way back to the Magic Kingdom. Not to ride on anything, though, Benjamin wanted to work on drawing. We parked ourselves on the sidewalk right in front of the castle and started sketching. As luck would have it, we got to watch the "Dreams" show two more times and we were in the perfect location for the midday parade. We made our way through the rest of the park that we had missed yesterday. We saw the tiki birds, the pirates, the country bears, and Benjamin and daddy did Splash Mountain. His first big ride! I still can't convince him to do Space Mountain or Tower of Terror, however. Benjamin wanted to stay for the fireworks again. We managed to find a seat in the back where we were right under the show. It was very fun. One more time through Mickey's Music and then we were done. He made it on to the bus and then he passed out. A fun, fun day!
