Dr. Seuss

Back Up Next

 

Oh boy, Dr. Seuss! 

Actually, even though this seemed the kiddiest part of the park, we had a lot of fun here.

 

The first thing we did was ride this silly trolley thing all around above the crowds.

 

We had some nice views.  Hey, there's Poseidon, and behind him I think that's Hogwarts.

 

Heather is having a good time.

 

Dr. Seuss had a weird imagination.

 

Look, it's all of us in one iPhone picture.  Nice going, Heather!

 


[Give the blue bar time to load all the way across.]

We even rode the carousel.

 

While riding around upon Sneetches with Katia,
Whenever she giggles, a Lorax says, "Gotcha!"

 

Around and around and our heads start to spin;
This place is so crazy you just gotta grin.

 

An elephant yellow for Gavin to ride,
In Whoville that's normal for elephant hide.

 

A sleepy pink Whatsit provides locomotion,
As Garrett gallumphs across meadows and ocean.

 

As Bill circles round about heck-bent for leather,
He wishes he'd taken a picture of Heather.

 

Whew, enough of that circling round and round in Whoville.

 

Later in the afternoon, as the rain and lightning were fast approaching, the outdoor rides had to shut down.  The nice attendants at one of the Dr. Seuss rides just stood there smiling and waving to let everybody know -- nicely --  that they couldn't come inside.  Heather decided to help.  In fact, eventually we all pitched in to help and the attendants loved it.

 

Garrett has a new friend.

 

We all have new friends in Whoville!

 

Heather waves best of all.

 

And the attendants are excited about being on Facebook!  Heather, you did put them on Facebook as you promised, didn't you?

 

So then we got on this crazy Dr. Seuss ride that Bill was afraid was going to spin him around and around and make him barf, but it didn't -- instead it just stopped.

 

That's right, it just stopped.  Right there beside the Cat in the Hat it stopped.

 

For awhile the music kept playing, but then it stopped too.  And then a ghostly female voice announced, "I can see you!  You have to stay in your seats!  Get back in your seats!"  But as you can clearly see, we WERE in our seats!  Somebody else must have been misbehaving.  So there we were, all dressed up with nowhere to go. 

 

As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean. 

 

Well, most of us were  idle.

 

Gavin the entertainer.

 

Life of the party!

 

Mom enjoys her little comedian.

 

But eventually he pooped out.
