Disney Day 6: Typhoon Lagoon (boys) and a day of REST

For Christmas, Aunt Paige gave the boys a day of fun at Typhoon Lagoon.  As  many times as we've enjoyed Disney World, we've never been to the water parks, so Jack and Max were THRILLED.  On Thursday, even though it was not many degrees outside, Aunt Paige and all FOUR boys headed out for a day of water park fun.  Their toes may have turned a bit blue and their teeth may have cracked from chattering so much, but they had a FABULOUS day.  The rest of us did our best to REST.

Joe's Journal Entry: (with Mikki's commentary in bold, as usual!)
.... and on the 5th day, they rested.  Can you really rest at Disney World?  No.  Haha.  Boys all went with Paige to Typhoon Lagoon, even though it's cold and windy.  Hoping they aren't "FROZEN" when they return. (Joe was very pleased at his movie reference here. He so clever.) Mom, Mary and I went with Mudger and NightNight over to Fort Wilderness and the Lodge. (Also played on very nice playground.) It was very nice. (We are using the word NICE a lot.)  Had lunch there.  Poor Mary was so tired, as were all of us, she finally nodded off on the boat ride back to Magic Kingdom....at 3:08 PM. (We didn't actually visit the MK, we just caught the boat to Wilderness Lodge from there.  It's fun just to ride the boats or monorails from resort to resort and think about where you'll stay NEXT time!  Cause, there's ALWAYS a next time for Disney!!)  Now in the room waiting for boys.

NOTE:  Joe must have been REALLY TIRED.  Cause that's all he wrote.

Not sure what's going on with Max here.  Doesn't look good.

BEFORE they all got hypothermia.

While the boys did their thing, the rest of us did a little resort hopping, playground visiting, and heavy RESTING.

We brought a blow up mattress for Mary and put it between the two beds in our room.  Fit like a glove and made a cozy place for her to sleep.  She loved it.  We Powells are all about some cozy.  I'm pretty sure it was like 4:00 in the afternoon here, and she's already OUT.  Ain't nothing more precious than waking up at Disney World to a little grinning face on a blow up mattress right beside you.  Ain't nothing more PEACEFUL than having that same little grinning face be ASLEEP on said blow up mattress.  

Coming soon..... our final Disney day!

And thank goodness for that, cause I'm tired just remembering it all.
