So on our last day at WDW, we *really* put the "hop" in Parkhopper! The Boy *really* wanted to ride Everest, so we headed over to Animal Kingdom. We were on our way to the back end of the park for Everest, when a cast member stopped us and said that Everest was having mechanical difficulties.

So at 0-dark-hundred on Wednesday, we got a wake up call from Stitch, and my back up alarm on my cell phone. We were up at 6:30 since we had to be at the Contemporary resort at 8:30 for breakfast at Chef Mickey's.

Or belleh, as Elizabeth put it.. This weekend was Feast of St. Anthony down in Clinton. Derwyth arranged for the Saturday off, and we headed down to work with the rest of the Soutoners.
