today we relaxed in the sun at the pool and swam with the kids. interestingly, brooke launched herself off the pool steps into the water without any floatation device and sunk right to the bottom. thankfully i was right beside her and pulled her up above water. she looked at me and said, "mommy, i thought i could swim, but i couldn't!" bless her heart. she had in her mind the day we spent in mt. orab when she swam like a fish in her water wings. she was just doing what she remembered, but this time she got a very different result. i didn't let on that she scared me half to death... i simply congratulated her for holding her breath and spending several seconds under the water!
brooke requested to see the fireworks over the castle one more time, so we went to magic kingdom tonight for a parade, shows and the fireworks. disney by night is even more magical than disney by day. tonight was spectacular. and it was packed. it was a perfect way to say goodbye, even if some of us (brooke :) aren't quite ready to go...
