A Day with Miriam 2

 
 
 By the time we were finished it was almost 11 am. Miriam was quick to put on her swim suit and get us out the door. She really wanted to go horseback riding and swimming, at Speke. By the time we arrived, it was clear she could do one or the other, but not both if she wanted to go to Didi's World. She opted for the swimming. After an hour in the cool pool, diving for coins, under an overcast sky, she was ready to leave. Robert came back and took us home by boda for a lunch of left over posho.

Miriam had agreed previously to take Moses with us to Didi's today. She didn't mind sharing that with him and their mom agreed. So we got Moses and off to the “Disneyland” of Uganda. They rode every ride that was open and that would let them get on. The park wasn't terribly crowded, so the wait in the lines was maybe 5 minutes. They went for the big bumper cars, the caterpillar roller coaster, the truck convoy, and many others. The only upset was when they got onto the octopus, a ride for 12 and up. Moses came off scared and shakey. Miriam wanted to go again. I said I would take them and we got on, strapped in. Then the attendant noticed I didn't have the required wrist band that riders have. I managed to convince him that the boy and I needed to do this ride again as he had been so frightened. We did make it through the ride, with both little ones getting scared at different times. But it wasn't traumatizing.

When that part of the day was over, we called for our boda, went home. Miriam brought out the Bible bingo game, which Moses handily won. The end of another great day.
