Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World

About 24 hours after our visit to Buena Vista Urgent Care for Kate’s bronchitis/ear infection, she bumped her forehead while riding BTMR and developed an impressive abraded contusion. I was told that she was fiddling with her headband and that somehow cause her to bang her forehead as the train hit a bump or curve. She’s tough, and it didn’t slow her down, but I think she was lucky that she didn’t get a laceration and end up right back at urgent care for stitches.

We felt a little cursed at this point. Unbeknown to us, we would have one more serious close call towards the end of the week. I’ll probably get around to telling that story later.

As for the above photo, I was holding Natalie in my left arm and operating the camera with just my right arm. Anyone who has ever held a D200 with a lens attached will tell you that this is no small accomplishment. Fortunately, Natalie wasn’t squirming.
