This trip was been excellent. I had enough solo moments to satisfy my inner introvert and lots of family-time with two adults who intrigue as well as interest me and a 4 year old who excites my imagination for his future.
Children's minds are astounding. I am awed by successful parents like Kathleen and Chad who are conquering the challenge of child-rearing. Yesterday morning, PJ was very upset when Kathleen had him put on his shoes so we could go see Nemo and his friends. She kept telling him to use his words and explain. He looked up at her and stated flatly, "Mommy, How can I go in the water with Nemo wearing my shoes? You can't swim in shoes!" Yikes!!! Makes perfect sense doesn't it? No wonder children get exasperated with adults - obviously we don't think alike at all. Everything was calm once she explained it was a ride, not a real under the sea experience.
I'm glad I had this chance to know PJ and Chad for longer than an overnight visit. Kathleen's always been the focus of my Harrell thinking, now I have two more Harrells I know well enough to send the occasional "Auntie Mame" surprise.
Disney would be pleased that his vision for family time is still working just as he planned it would so many decades ago. Thanks, Walt, for endowing this place with your passion for family fun!
