Horseshoe or frisbee?

Day 5: We all had a great day at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. The safari ride was a blast! Some of us enjoyed the Bug's Life show, some not. For me the stink bug was a big hit. Miss Julie had difficulty tolerating the bug/hair spray reality. Cameron had spells of intolerable fear, followed by an urgent need to resume the 3D thrill. The Lion King show was amazingly true to the movie & very cool. It rained today & we didn't melt. D was in her glory w/ animals & rainforests everywhere. Leigh-O took a nap in the rain, while Hunter & Jackie donned ponchos to splash about. With Allison at the helm & Mr. Chad her loyal subject, a terrific day was enjoyed by all.

We had plans to close out the evening at the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. Unfortunately, we had to punt when one of the children mistook a plastic horseshoe for a frisbee. It could've happened to any of the kids & we all feel horrible that two best friends were on the sending & receiving ends. Hunter had seen Jackie make end-zone fingertip catches in the past so why any different today? Timing. She zigged when Favre expected a zag & whammo! The rest is history. Both are well & fast asleep; one w/ as many stitches as years on this earth, the other likely having deeply disturbing dreams of injuring his best buddy, his wife. Sleep tight little bugs. Tomorrow will bring bright sunshine, laughter & forgiveness. Love, Daddy.
