Day 7: Taking it easy…
Emily and mama are both still not 100%. For Emily this meant waking up at 6:28am and a couple more times last night. Not exactly how we imagined our vacation but we know why she wakes up.
After playing a bit and calling Opa (Grandpa) to congratulate him with his 64th birthday we left the villa towards Disney Springs. Here we did some shopping. Mama got a new shirt from Lilly Pilitzer, early Mother’s Day gifts a new bracelet from Alex & Ani and 2 Pandora special Disney Park edition beads. Emily got a new dress from Lilly Pulitzer!
I got a new pair of Havaianas, complete plastic ones which are more practical in wet enviroments as my leather pair, I wished I used them the remainder of the day…
Emily was very tired and we decided to go back to villa, we got ourselves some lunch at Chick-Fill-A as take out. At home we got some lunch, we played a bit in the backyard where Emily showed us how good she can get up a step already, it’s not necessary to hold her hand anymore. Also she fell again on her knees and now she has two scraped knees!
Emily went to bed, mama started with some laundry and I played a with the settings of the rental car, an Extended Ford Expedition! It also has CarPlay but it didn’t worked that well, I found the issue and I can’t fix it as the USB interfaces are damaged. Too bad but at least I figured out some other convenient features which were disabled by previous users.
After playing I went to the grocery store for some ointment for Emily her knees and band-aid! She never wanted to wear a band-aid before so I needed to come up with something very special to make sure they would stay on long enough.
On my way there I saw the sky turning darker and darker but lucky for me I got into the Super Target just before the thunderstorm!
That was a bit different when I left, the water was centimeters high on the parking lot and I was wearing my leather Havaianas…complete soaked in a meter of 10 steps.
On the way back to the villa I decided to fill up the car at the WaWa gas station. That sounds early but National gives out cars which are not full, ours was only half full when we got it. If we are lucky we might make it the rest of the vacation on this fuel.
Back at home Emily didn’t sleep that well and I decided to hold her for her afternoon nap. She slept another 1,5 hour sticking to me in one of the kid beds in the villa. I enjoyed every moment of it, I hope she got some rest and is fitter tomorrow.
In the evening we played a bit and Emily was allowed to watch Sofia the First on Netflix before it was time for a bed time story and her bed. After Emily went to bed we relaxed on the couch hoping Danielle would be fit again on Mother’s Day!
