Swiss family Robinson

I went up the swiss family Robinson treehouse for the first time when I was a little girl, before I'd ever seen a rainforest, when it was an unconnected dream of a treehouse deep in the forest, like all my other dreams of being lost and adventures. 

Coming up to it now the first thing I saw was that it's a strangler fig, where my spirit animal the fruit bat would live, a spiritual imagining of my real life, a wood house with old fashioned wood furniture high in the trees of a tropical rainforest with plenty of hammocks for my friends and a piano in the corner. 

It is a powerful thing to look into a wild fantasy lime that and recognize myself. 

In other emotional Disney news I've been really aware of how many of the early films whisper you can fly, because all children know they can, before they wake up and forget how.  In the dream time we know it. 

Explore

"Let's explore this sucker!" Actual quote from 7 year old boy after my own heart.

Animal park and Epcot

We are rocking Disney right now.  Did every ride and every show in 2 parks over 2 days. Scored ourselves a free 3rd day in Disney proper for that.  13 hours yesterday.  My texts still only sort of working. Jes got her passport. 

The animal park had gorillas and a musical of finding nemo that was actually pretty ace.

Love burn

I went to love burn. 
Pros
On the beach.
There was a tiny train
And a globe you could climb in
And a club with the ceiling on fire
I pulled myself out on a raft with Worrill and talked for hours.
The new girl was nice
We saw the sunrise on our last day.
Beyond offered to do something nice for Jessamyn which made me like him more

Cons

Camping is dirty
It was kind of small and dinky which meant that you could lap the place a bunch of times and getting rid of dummy's was harder.
It was a lot cheaper than burning man but prolly less worth it.

Now I'm at Disney which sensibly rules.

We did every ride and show at the animal park today.  Finding nemo musical was a highlight. Also big mountain roller coaster.  Tomorrow to Epcot!

We just passed a hearse broken down by the side of the road.  There's a story there I'm sure.

Departed

We are on the road.  The day was hard.  I wept to say goodbye. 

Packing

I've just about gotten my bag packed.  I've done it twice now but will probably go for a third. 

There's been some reversals such as my heat blowing but I made it through. 

Snow days are conducive to losing heat but also so beauty and rest and awesome projects. 

Props to Zak for a glorious snow walk and cocoa lunch.
