He woke being the little boy I know and love. LOL! We got into DL around 9:30am and met BlacksheepUncle and Iceknyght for breakfast at the River Belle. We sat near the Petrified Tree and enjoying the view and each other’s company. Mmaus1962 had been in the park for a Fantasyland Blitz and soon joined us, followed by goodgirl. Mike ran into NAPC while making a bathroom stop. She came by and said Hi and told us to come on the Mark Twain in about 45 minutes and she'd take us up top to the wheelhouse. So, after breakfast all of us minus mmaus1962 went up top. Jacob got to pilot the Mark Twain. We did a lot of laughing and joking with him about his driving through the treacherous river rapids, not to ride over the canoes and not to hit any of the ducks. He LOVED it. I'm pretty sure that made his day. Thank you NAPC, it was great visiting with you!!!! Major appreciate your kindness to us. He doesn't remember doing it 3 years ago, a whole different experience this time. My mom, Iceknyght, Jacob and I all had turns ringing the bell and blowing the whistles. Afterwards, we met up with mmaus1962, Wendebird, SuzieQ, the girls, and our special guest stars DisneyChica and my daughter JustDuckee. ;> We all went and rode Haunted Mansion - it was Jacob's first time. He did it and said that was it - never again but as the day went on he changed his mind and really liked it. Enough that he was suppose to ride it that night with Wendebird’s girls - ooooo, ahhhhhhh, such big kids they are now. From there we went to Roger Rabbit, Jacob rode with Auntie Jo aka SuzieQ. Afterwards the kids played a bit in Toontown blowing up the building, getting electrocuted and other zaniness. We all then headed for the singing dollies - Small World. After Small World we had to say goodbye to goodgirl. <sigh> The rest of us went for lunch at the Bengal BBQ. Gotta get as many skewers in being it’s gonna close. ;< Jacob entertained us at our table. We had a great lunch with DisneyChica and JustDuckee. mmaus1962 then said her goodbyes. ;< SuzieQ, Wendebird and girls had Splash FP's and shopping to do while BlacksheepUncle, Iceknyght, DisneyChica, JustDuckee, my mom, Jacob and I watched Billy Hill. After Billy Hill IceKnyght said his goodbyes – man this is getting depressing. ;< BlacksheepUncle, DisneyChica and JustDuckee stayed in the parks while we took the kids back to rest at the hotel. Our plan was to meet back up with them around 6pm. Making it down Main Street is always slow with PapaHead, we had to cruise the fire truck, then go to the Fire House, check out the flowers, look in the Emporium, etc. LOL! On our way to the Hotel on South Harbor we witnessed a horrible accident right in front of us. A truck hit a motorcycle. I seen the motorcycle go flying, my mom and Jacob seen the driver flipping in the air and landing in the street. I pulled over and called 911 as did several other drivers. While being interviewed the policed showed up, I sure pray the elderly gentleman was ok. He was seriously hurt. Jacob was pretty shaken up – poor guy. A lot of stressful situations within 24 hours, he told me later on “Nina, I no want a motorcycle when I’m big.†Yeah, no kidding, not after seeing that. Jacob rested but didn't sleep back at the hotel. We basically changed our clothes and jammed back. We got back to DCA around 6pm but had to wait in a very long line to get in. Met back up with BlacksheepUncle, DisneyChica and JustDuckee, we had a great time!!! Rode Monsters, Inc., Jacob fell in love with the girls, riding Monsters with DisneyChica and then Soarin' between the two. We met SuzieQ, Wendebird and girls right after and we ate at Taste Pilots. We had to say goodbye to DisneyChica and JustDuckee there. We tried and tried to convince them to stay but they decided to be responsible – whateva! ;> From there we jammed over to DL to catch the fireworks. Wendebird and girls went and rode rides; the rest of us watched the fireworks. My godson continued to amaze me with his naming of each attraction and movie as soon as the music started. He loves the fireworks. Surprise, we rode Buzz right after. Jacob with BlacksheepUncle and SuzieQ and me fighting it out in our space mobile. LOL!!! The Silly Hat Girls had kindly given my mom and me their Space Mountain FP's, so we rode that while SuzieQ and BlacksheepUncle entertained Jacob or vise versa. LOL. Afterwards they all went with Wendebird and the girls for one last ride; we hopped the train in Tomorrowland so Jacob could see the dinosaurs. Poor PapaHead he was nodding and bobbing his head on the tram. Luckily he stayed awake to walk to the truck. He fell asleep on the ride to the hotel. He was so done! Went all day and night with no nap. Day 4 coming soon…

Favorite PapaHead quote of the night: "Auntie Jo, will you buy me this whale from Nemo (add-a-bead)? Nina won't know!" Wendebird's girls have grown so much! I was proud of them for riding everything. The youngest birdie rides almost everything now - she was so brave.
