What did Billy love from our Disney trip? Simple....all the thrill rides with Tower of Terror and Everest topping his list! Ask him about his experience on Tower of Terror with Mickey (his dad, not the mouse) ....he will give you the play by play of the whole ride when they 'literally' went all the way to the top and and 'literally' dropped all the way to the bottom! It continues from there, but I will not spoil his telling of the story.
Another attraction that really caught his...and all the kids' imaginations was the Kim Possible spy adventures....but they are the Rocktown Spies, so what did we expect?
And a memory I will always carry with me of Billy on this trip was how absolutely soaked he got on the barge ride at Universal...all due to the unfortunate seat he had to the biggest, most muscular (and heaviest) man in the entire park!
The ride at the bottom of the list? Harry's Potter's Forbidden Journey! When give a chance to ride it back to back - he gladly declined! I do not think he declined because of the scary factor...but more for the motion sickness factor!
We were all really proud of how well he did in the 1 mile race...he had a super fast time and ran the entire mile....with a lingering case of Strep Throat.
Billy also showed mature decisions in how to spend his money - he saved alot prior to the trip and he knewhis money limit for souvenirs and budgeted accordingly - making sure he got his most planned upon trinkets....the REALLY big pirate gun and Severus Snape's wand from Harry Potter.
Despite really wanting the top bunk at the cabin, he agreed to let his brother have it, and kept a close eye on JJ when they wanted to keep riding the water slide - and mom just wanted to sit in the hot tub. Further, Billy was very willing to try a variety of new foods on this trip...a trend that started a bit before we left and has continued upon our return. And lets not forget how he (and JJ too) 'took such good care of Mom-Mom the entire trip' (her words, not mine!)
In a different surrounding, I found myself a few times stepping back and watching Billy and really noticing how much Billy is maturing and growing and becoming so dependable...really a little man of whom we are so proud.
