Thankfully the end reward is worth it.We bought 2 Night Blossoms and decided to try a Pongu Lumpia. My grandma is Filipino so I grew up eating Lumpia rolls all the time as a kid and was excited to try it.We found a shady spot to chill with our treats. [ATTACH=full]563212[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]563213[/ATTACH]Leave it to my mother to call while I was trying to indulge. She called to talk about the foot situation and felt horrible and was super apologetic. She was like "I ruined your trip, you guys spent so much money"... I couldn't believe that she was teary about it, she's not usually that person. After I assured her that it was OK and that we still were having a good time, she seemed to feel a little better. She had spoken with my nephew and they talked most of the time we were there which was good.BACK TO THE SNACKSPer usual, the night blossom hit the spot and Easton had so much fun with the boba balls; little kids are so easily entertained.The Lumpia roll though, was a hard pass to the left. I was so disappointed because I wanted to love it so much. The consistency of the filling just didn't sit right with me. After our snacks, we decided to head out of Pandora. It was so hard to pass up on a ride on FOP though. The wait time was around 30 minutes. We didn't have time for rider swap but to be honest neither of us really wanted to ride it alone.Next up, Asia.[ATTACH=full]563220[/ATTACH]So I can pass up a ride on FoP but Everest not so much! With a 5 minute wait, no doubt I was riding. While in line I got a bit of comic relief watching this woman trying to cut in line. She kept trying to imply that she didn't speak English so when everyone kept telling her no, you need to go to the end, she would move onto cutting another family. Eventually one family let her and her daughter get in front and then the other 6 family members came out of nowhere and hopped in line with her. It was bizarre to say the least. [ATTACH=full]563224[/ATTACH]It was after Everest that we decided to head out. I was so bummed but we were gone about 2 hours and I wanted to get back to Bryan.We checked in to see how he was and was fine and enjoying the rest.While we were waiting for the bus, we spotted this sweet WandaVision wrapped bus. I think the last episode was airing that week so I was excited to see one.[ATTACH=full]563227[/ATTACH]As we were heading back to PoP, we were put in such an uncomfortable situation. The family in front of us had 2 younger girls. The oldest was about 3 and the baby was about a year tops. Of course when they took the sleeping baby out of the stroller she was upset so with that comes crying..to be expected. Well I guess the mother probably being hot, tired and emabarresed started spanking her pretty bad. I mean if you want to spank your kids go for it, but it was really uncomfortable because she was a baby and it wasn't her fault. They were seated directly across from us so of course Easton was staring HARD, lol...I just couldn't wait to get off that bus.Once we got back to the room, Bryan was alive and well and we weren't put in jail for child endangerment <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😜" title="Winking face with tongue    :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f61c.png" data-shortname=":stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" /> We only had a short break because we had 8pm dinner reservations at The Boathouse and I wanted to get there a little early. I've heard  about the capacity horror stories that occur on Friday and Saturday nights and wanted to avoid that at all costs. We ended up driving because it was quicker and to be honest we just prefer to drive to the springs. Once we got inside, the first mission was to get a wheelchair because it was MUCH needed.The woman at the Sundries was such a character, she was a talker who cracked me up.The party in front of me was a group of teenage boys and one was on crutches. She was all in his business as to how he got hurt, I remember laughing to myself. I did appreciate how she looked out for them though. Apparently you need your receipt to get the deposit refunded. She must have told them 3 times,  don't lose the receipt, and she recommended that they at least take a picture of it. Good to know.When it was my turn she asked me where I was from and told me that I spoke very proper, lol. I mean, how am I supposed to speak?? I will say that this isn't the first or second time that I've heard this coming from other black women and it always makes me pause for a second. OMG, I had no idea that the deposit was $100!!! I mean it makes sense but SHEESH<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤑" title="Money-mouth face    :money_mouth:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f911.png" data-shortname=":money_mouth:" /> The chair rental was only 12 bucks so you better believe that I took 3 good pictures of that receipt.[ATTACH=full]563232[/ATTACH] Riding along in style with that bucket hat<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-eyes    :heart_eyes:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f60d.png" data-shortname=":heart_eyes:" />Up next, end of day 3</blockquote>
