I have all these pictures hanging around my computer, so now you get to see them. first of all, Nick: as it turns out I don't have a video of me in a lion suit jumping through hoops. But I do have a photo:
The Widge also jumped through hoops:
and was a strongman:
When I was a strongman, my muscles were mightier, but I lifted less:
The Widge apparently met a pirate, which I was unaware of until I saw the photo.
What else went on while I was in line for the tightrope, Mattie? Did you two sign up to sail the seven seas? I notice you were practicing your knot tying fairly seriously:
Anyway, its not too worrisome, because in reality the Widge and I are actual pirates:
and the Wide also eats pirates. See the cute little pirate cupcake before:
and after:
mmmm, sweet, and yet scurvy-ish!
Discovery place gets two big thumbs up for their cool cupcake place. Anyway, the Widge really loved the children's area:
he even put on a little puppet show:
The Widge refused to go into the hurricane tube to experience the winds of a category 1 hurricane. Matt mostly looks like he's being beamed up:
and while I'm posting Matt stuff, here he is walking the tightrope:
we rounded out the day with a trip to
UNCC, which is a cute little place, for a school that was founded in the 20th century *scoff*
note that the Widge is still being a pirate.
