White Water Fairy Day

This morning, we got up extra early to meet with Abbie and Rachel Hitchcock for a really nice trip down to White Water, a water park in Atlanta. It is actually a pretty big park, although we stuck to mostly the younger kids' attractions - like the Wiggles Water World.

No, the Wiggles weren't there. But their music was, and so was Captain Feathersword's boat, which had cannons that shoot water. Also on board were slides and pipes that you could use to talk to people on the bottom of the boat. Daddy got Madison to say "arrrr!"

The Wigglemobile was there too, which had this unpredictable way of shooting out streams of water when you least expected it. This made for some very entertaining moments with unsuspecting parents.

We arrived home after a time - Mommy and Madison took a long nap on the way, and yet Mommy was still a little tired from this weekend. So was Daddy, actually. That's why we took Madison next door for to Ye-Ye and Nana's house - and it just so happened that it was Fairy Day.

I am not entirely sure why today was Fairy Day - I think it really needs no explanation, actually. But this was the day that Hannah had come over with all of her fairies - and her fairy wings. Even Aunt Shain wore fairy wings, which is why we had Madison wear her Tinkerbell dress and bring along her wings as well. The boys did not dress up as fairies. They would want me to be perfectly clear on this. That's one reason why I've posted the picture here on this blog. In fact, you can see David to the right dressed up as a hobbit. He even has hairy feet! Someone glued small patches of hair to the tops of his feet.

The funny thing is that Madison saw the hair on his feet in the living room one moment and said: "Daddy!"

While Madison was making fairy crafts and having a fairy party - and watching both "Tinkerbell" movies back-to-back, Mommy and Daddy had gone out to see "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." It was pretty good, actually. It was nice to get out and see a movie together. In fact, we had the whole theater to ourselves. Mommy and Daddy ate a bunch of popcorn and snuggled in the back.

Afterwards, we dropped by Party City to pick up a new hula skirt for Madison, and a flower for her hair. We're getting her ready for the Polynesian Resort next month. We are so looking forward to that!
