Shellie May with Duffy

"YAY! It's DUFFY! I say his name really big and loud because he is really big. But he is quiet."

"Wow! Ariel's Grotto is across the way! Can we eat there?"

"Maybe someday," I said.

"Yay!  Hey, wait."

 

"Why are we still waiting in line in front of this gift shop?"

"Well--"

"Oh WOW! OH MY GOODNESS!!!"

Shellie May was thrilled, and we hadn't even made it to the front of the line!

Shellie May is a treasure

"Now where are we going?" asked Shellie May. "Is it a ride? Will it be fun? Will I like it? Will YOU like it?"

"You'll see, no, yes, yes, yes."

Goodbye, Golden Zephyr!

"Whee!" says Shellie May. "We had so much fun! Now let's skeedaddle on out!"

So in line near us was a party of 3, a dad and his two sons. The Golden Zephyr only has room for 2 people per seat, so the dad asked if I would ride with one of his kids.

Yes, yes I would. It was fun! I'm almost never on the inside, since I either ride alone or with my mom, and I tend to get into ride cars first, which puts me on the outside. The inside was almost scary!

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" cried Shellie May. "There is room for 3 people in this seat!"

"Two people and an adorable bear."

"Yes! I like that even better!"

Shellie May is almost through the line

"Yay! We are moving closer!

"Wow, those people look like they are having so much fun! Are we going to have that much fun too?"
