Dinner was apparently going to be American today. Kids' preference. And after a tour of the island, they'd also asked for it to be at Fast Eddies. Jaime had vetoed it immediately, insisting on something more substantial than nachos and soda for dinner. Del had agreed and apparently not just because Jaime had said it. Alex had rolled his eyes and ( Read more... )

Jaime had not been expecting a phone call this morning. Certainly not from some kid who was trying to sound calm but obviously more than a little panicked. And Momoko and Jaime's budget had not been expecting emergency portal bookings, either ( Read more... )

All the rides and events were all child-safe and kid-friendly. Even the thematic decorations had become kiddified; no worries about nightmares from this little guy, huh? Didn't he look like fun? Don't ( Read more... )
