Intentionally Unexpected
Thanks to Julian being such a lovely person, today’s game will contain 100% more imagination. Figment to the rescue!
Introducing new people to roll playing games is so much fun.
Now if Bevin can just play it straight for once and not have her character become obsessed with baking goblin-cakes or something, we may have a real classic dragon-hunting adventure! The kingdom of Leithold needs heros!
We were at the pool last night, paddling back and forth thanks to Bevin’s new nose-covering facemask, when she pops up and says “what’s that sound?”
Turns out it’s the sound of an ice cream truck.
Turns out, if you need to motivate Bevin to jog (in flip-flops!) all you need to say is “well go grab some cash” when there’s an ice cream truck.
End result is us standing in our front yard drip-drying eating soft serve ice cream cones. Which were actually SURPRISINGLY tasty and creamy.
I can’t decide if my legs hurt because they’ve been walking 20,000 steps a day for the last 10 days (slowest day was 4.45 miles) or because they’re NOT walking today and feeling angry about being cooped up at the desk with only 2400 steps so far.
Also, I strangely miss humidity. I forgot how much the AC dries out the air in our house.
And we’re off! It’s kind of nice to only have a 2.5 hour flight home at least! And nobody in the row behind us, only 1 person in the row in front. Nice comfy flight.
To the skies!
Brian and Julian left earlier this morning, but we don’t catch the bus until 2pm, so we’re gorging ourselves in Disney Springs.
I’ll post more pictures of our last day in Batuu (star wars!) once we’re home (tomorrow) but for now, we’re hiking back to Saratoga Springs to catch our magical express to the airport!
Animal kingdom is great. There is nowhere in the park that doesn’t feel great. It’s immersive and lush, there’s stuff to look at and cool plants and animals everywhere. Always a fun day.
But there’s nowhere quite like the valley of Mo’ara, on the moon Pandora.
We went back again, and I just took a bunch of pictures. Click continue reading for a view of whatever random things caught my fancy.

Anyway, on to the animals!
We left Africa and headed back towards Everest, the Kali River Rapids. We’ll take our chances there the yeti dances.
It’s so empty, it’s really nice to look at the queue and feel like you’re on a hike through the valley to ride your Ikran!
Because we normally do fast pass rather than wait for 4 hours in the standby line, we haven’t actually seen parts of the queue! There are some really cool rooms in the standby line!
Next up, an African Safari, and then an encounter with a yeti.
