Day 3... TYPHOON LAGOON DAY!!!
My personal favorite water park at WDW btw! SO we woke up nice and early... well I woke up early and had to wake people lol! I am sure they appriciated it in the end
. We packed a full cooler of sandwichs, fruit, drinks and chips and headed to TL. We got there right after 9 when they opened and headed over by the Shark Tank and got ourselves a nice cabana (score for waking up early). After we settled in we decided to take dip with the sharks. Dave, my brother Alexander and I all lined up, got our snorkles and headed to line up for our turn. Well I put the mask over my face and it started to burn a bit... strange but I ignored it... so we went for our swim and it was nice and cool just like MA ocean water lol! I saw lots of fish and the shark was my buddy. It swam underneath me the whole way across... when I stopped, it stopped, when I moved it moved too... very starnge but fun to watch. Well I made it to the opposite end and took off my mask. While waiting for Dave to finish his swim, my face really started to burn. It turned bright red and blotchy!! I was freaking out, so of course I left Dave and ran to my mother lol! Moms always know what to do
. I didnt want to go to first aid bc I was afraid they would tell me to stay out of the sun or something... hello I was at TL! Soooooo not an option. So I dealt with the burning for the next hour until it went away... I did not swim with the sharks again that day...
Ok, so now on to the non-burnt part of the day aka "the fun part", we went on all the water slides and the water coaster too (soo fun btw). Hung in the wave pool, and rode on the water monorail aka the lazy river for hours! It was so refreshing. Also, we all took at least a 1/2 hour nap at TL at different times. It felt great!
So around 5pm we decide to call it a day and head out. We make it to the giant gift shop and the skys open up and it is pouring rain! Within a minute a voice comes on the loadspeaker saying lighting was close and TL was closed until further notice. Well rememeber we were leaving at this point anyways, so no biggie to us. Well this is the funniest, weirdest thing I have ever seen at WDW... everyone starts running to the parking lot... with towels over their heads! Come on people your at a water park, your already wet, what is the tiny towel gonna do for ya!! It was too funny, we were all cracking up at this. We were all just out of the lazy river anyways so we just walked to the car normally and yes, we were soaked by the time we got there, but we already were, so what difference did it make!
That night we all napped and then Dave took my mom and I to the Premium Outlets for a little shopping! We didnt find a ton of stuff (also idnt have a ton of $$ lol), but I did snag a few X-Mas gifts for Dave from the Disney outlet. A cute Grumpy T for me, and a pair of really nice white slacks from Ann Taylor Loft (I love that store).
When we got back to the hotel we were still too tired to swim again so Dave and I hung at the bar and had some Mai Tai's, Pina Coladas, and Mudslides! And yes, that was our dinner that night lol, hey its vacation right!
Up next, Day 4 our PS!! Lots of pics I promise

still... very strange. 
Yea!!
Rummikub. My grandmother (Oma) always had it, and we play all the time, especially when she comes over, and definitely by the pool! 
Secondly I totally agree about people being silly in the parking lot and the rain. My favorite is when you go to the gym and see people drive around the lot trying to get a closer spot. Hello!! You're going to the gym to workout and burn calories. Walk a little!
