Thursday morning was spent with Nathan getting his beard braided for Halloween while I got allergy shots. Here are Nathan’s braids….

Then we headed to the Kingdom after lunch. Here is a picture of Josh and Samantha with Snow White…

Friday we went to the pool. This sounded like a great idea. They have a new pool with a water slide and a splash zone area for the smaller kids as well as a jacuzzi for the adults. Samantha was playing in the splash zone with her brothers although technically she is too tall for it (parents were in there as well). She was getting up off the slide and cut her foot open. I was shocked at how many levels you have to go up before you get help. I asked the lifeguard if they had a first aid kit. They had to get the pool manager. She was only able to give us ice and a band-aid. They had to call the ambulance for further than that. The ambulance cleaned it out and taped it…

Then we ended up taking her to an urgent care center. People were looking like they were dying inside there so Nathan waited for her name to be called while Samantha and I waited outside. While we waited outside we watched a woodpecker…

They decided not to stitch or staple because of where it was. So they used steri strips to close the wound and then we had to keep it wrapped in gauze and an ace bandage for 5 days while she stayed off her feet. Fort Wilderness gave us a wheelchair to use while she needed it. Friday night we already had reservations for dinner and seating for Fantasmic. Here is a picture of Nathan pushing Samantha and Josh in the chair…

I believe she liked being the princess for a few days! :) This is actually the first time that we have been to Fantasmic. Here is a picture of the stage before the show…

And here are two pictures taken during the show…
