We spent the evening at Cirque Du Soleil, where I discovered that Caroline is definitely her mother’s daughter when it comes to Cirque. Even though it was late at night, she watched with wide-eyed rapture, shouting, “Up! Up!” during the high wire acts and bouncing during the Chinese girls with the killer yo yo tricks (if you’ve seen it, you know what I mean.) A little over halfway through, she was literally fighting to stay awake before she twisted around (she was in my lap) and looked up at me with red-rimmed eyes and moaned softly, because she knew she wasn’t going to make it. I turned her away from the performance and put her head against my shoulder, and she was out cold in about sixty seconds.
We went back to the hotel after that and all of us (except sleeping Caroline) watched fireworks blasting over Lake Buena Vista.
We head back home tomorrow evening (we make spectacular time when I drive through the night.)
