Elle has her boyfriend over,
so this renders her physically incapable
of lending a hand.
Funny how that happens, isn’t it? Seems much the same for any young girl. DD16 had a boyfriend for a few months earlier in the year that (thankfully) ended, but she brought another guy around a couple times in December. Every time, she rushes into the basement and disappears like it’s a storm bunker. Heaven forbid there should be any interaction with the parents.
But I have come prepared!
I'm wearing my big knee high snow boots,
I have my coat on, gloves and a tuque.
I also have a shovel and some sand.
I’m just imagining our good friends in the south having cold sweats while reading this horror story. As for me, I feel your pain. I’ve been there. Although I can’t say I’ve ever shoveled that much of the street before.
I had someplace I wanted to be so I set out at a fast walk,
I paused to take a picture of a bird,
but this stupid tree was in the way.
As much as I like the castle, I think is my favourite of the park icons. I love the detail. Did you know it’s built from the bones of an old oil rig?
Why did I pick the Safari and not EE?
(As many of you guessed.)
Because EE has a single rider line,
and I wanted to do the Safari this trip.
Dang, that makes perfect sense. Might be a strategy for me to use sometime, although I never do EE as a single rider since DD is always with me.
The woman in front of me remarked:
"They're going behind the scenes.
While we ride trucks, they ride the animals."
Reminds me of that song, “Save a horse, ride a cowboy”...
I'd never heard before, nor expected to ever hear,
a lion roaring.
But the male in the picture above was doing just that.
It is very cool to hear a lion roar in person. I had a nice experience some years ago at the Singapore Zoo, where they do a proper night safari. They drive you around in trams in almost complete darkness, except for blue lights used to simulate moonlight and allow you to just see the animals. Come to think of it, Disney could really use some tips from them. Anyway, they stopped us in front of the hyenas when the lion began to roar – their enclosure must have been very close by. As you can imagine, this whipped the hyenas into a frenzy and they started running around and “laughing”. A great experience.
Male: "You don't have to write it down!
It's two items! I can remember two things!"
Female: "And what are those two things?"
Male: "Uh...."
Female: "MILK AND CRACKERS!"
Male: "Right. I know that. I'm going now."
Female: "And put some gas in the car too."
Two things, I should be OK. Add the gas to the equation, that’s it, I’m out. Need a list written down then.
We drove on, so I didn't hear how many
boyfriends Mary had or has.
Bonus points. How many did she have do you think?
Listen, you expect me to be able to keep track of how many boyfriends Mary has had? That girl is like the Taylor Swift of the savannah. I don’t have enough fingers. All I know is that they’re never, ever getting back together.
Obligatory "end of the line" photo.
Everyone has to take this picture
at least once.
It's a Disney by-law.
Yep, I think we all have one. I don’t really get the hair elastic collection up there, though. Is it “a thing” now or something? Do they ever try to clean it up? It kind of confuses me.
But I will say, that I was quite
surprised by it.
Pleasantly so.
I had absolutely zero expectations going in.
And I found myself enjoying it quite a bit.
And the reason I had thought I'd never see it?
The poke in the back (I was afraid of hurting my back)
was very mild and not painful at all.
Yeah, it’s OK. I don’t think I did it last trip, but both times before. Definitely worth watching at least once. Last time I leaned forward before they poked me in the back. It’s not bad at all, but I’m one of those ticklish types.
I'd love to say that it was great, but...
meh.
The sausage was better after I peeled the
corn batter off of it.
A bit too much of that.
The salad wasn't my cup of tea
and the slaw was... boring.
Hmm…interesting. I’m not sure I’ll end up eating there, but if I did, that’s what I was going to try.
Occasionally I'd snap a photo
if the mood or the scene hit me.
I love the bicycle/food cart photo that says “best choice for thirst. Yes.” I can just imagine a guy sitting there saying that, as if there’s no debate. It’s the best. End of story.

You go girl!
Good thing you were first in line at Safari. That was a crazy line behind you.
I will guess that Miss Rhino has two boyfriends. One of those in the pic is pretty young so I'm not counting him. Looks like a relaxing dsy. Sorry your lunch was not your fav. I hope to get back on my TR and update on my DLR trip, too. We have Hawaii coming up in less than 3 months. I'll be back with guesses.
