Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park with Family!

in travel •  7 years ago  (edited)

Blizzard Beach is a beautiful water park on the Disney World resort where I was grateful I made the decision to go today instead of staying home to work as I did last time! My favorite feature of Blizzard Beach is their full vegetarian and vegan menu at their restaurant! Who would guess that a water park would have such great food choices? I enjoyed the sweet potato burger today for lunch!

While I did prefer to enjoy most of the experience without taking pictures, my wife helped me get a couple to share here with you today because you might enjoy them!

First, our best picture!

Then more of the truth that I am in such emotional pain that I am about to cry right after the picture and my daughter has more important things to do like rearrange her buggers. When I was in middle school Dad used to take my brother and I to the water parks a lot. Today was my first trip with my daughter and I was both mad at the change of having Dad passed away now along with my brother living hundreds of miles away and then mad that I was feeling mad instead of joyful about taking my daughter to the water park for the first time. After a morning of being on edge, as soon as I started just allowing the feelings to come a good cry set in and everything was lovely the rest of the day!

My father in law is from the UK and loves his American bathing suit along with taking his grand daughter down the water slide!

Fingers crossed!

She has as much fun as I do with these!

These are all the photographs I managed because taking pictures is a huge distraction and I made sure to focus on the time together for all but the 10 minutes we used the camera today! Enjoy better pictures at https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/blizzard-beach/.

Thank you for reading and sharing my day with me!

Love,
Jerry Banfield

Hello @jerrybanfield

Spending time with Family is very important and I am glad you are taking time off from your work to spend more time with your daughter.

She looked very beautiful by the way. And like you I hardly take pictures, I would have even taken less than you did.

Thanks for sharing.

@ogochukwu

Thank you @ogochukwu for helping me understand why my wife feels I took and shared too many pictures! Maybe I will do less in the future also.

haha omg the irony in that American swim suit is actually the greatest thing. You definitely lucked out with the food then, not to bad at all. That surely is not usually the case at amusement parks lol. Looks like you had a great day Jerry, glad to see that.

Thank you Barry!

Looks like you had a nice time. Good to take time to relax. Great pictures.

Really cool to see you and your daughter together having fun at Disney! Such a fun place for everyone. Thanks for sharing!

Nice kiddo :D

Glad to see you having a great time Jerry! Keep it up!

That's exactly the most valuable thing about the time we've spent and the memories we've built with our beloved ones. 👍

We went to waterparks as well when i was a kid :)
Relax ;)

I can see how different you look when you have your daughter with you - so real
thanks for sharing this Jerry

Beautiful photos

Thank you for sharing @jerrybanfield. Spending time with our more important asset, family. Greetings from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Looks like you had a Steemit Pool Party with the Fam! :)

You're just amazing Jerry. I've been following you for a really long time. And I know that you're the guy who have taught me a million things on internet. I just hop you stay happy alive and healthy. And I keep on seeing you smiling the way you're smiling now.
Even if I don't get any upvotes on this comment, it doesn't matter because it's not for the upvotes at all.
THANK YOU SO MUCH @jerrybanfield

The boy looks so cute

She is a wee little girl.💜

Thank you for sharing your beautiful day with us, @jerrybanfield. I'm sorry for the hard parts, and admire your willingness to include that. I bet your Dad is proud of your choices.

Good you have fun as well as work

Thank god you not naked again....

Oh, seemed like a fun day with the family! Cool to see this side of you too!

Nice post

Love the post. Why didn't you tag it vegan?! I love incidentally finding other vegans on Steemit. How long have you been vegan?

Cheers!
Nick

Very nice pics, yes taking photos when you want to enjoy your time can be very distracting, but if you have someone with you to help that's much easier.
And well life is what it is, we all want to keep the loved ones, is just the way we are, selfish in a way, but we all have to depart at some point, and that's the nature of life... we can only comfort us in knowing that the journey doesn't end, what seems to be the the end is just another beginning!!

hi

soo cute

nice.. looks like you guys had a lot of fun!!

Great to see the pictures and hope you have a wonderful time here in our backyard in Orlando! BTW, I just finished your course on crypto talking about Steem. Very good material, Jerry. Thank you for doing that!

that baby is so cute and a nice place for a family bonding

Looks like it was an AWESOME day out @jerrybanfield

Sometimes, I find that I resist "approaching" situations too because of some past influence... whatever it might be... I have this mental picture or feeling that it is going to "take me back" to that time, place or experience and so I build a wall of resistance which is normally displayed with bouts of aggravation etc.

I might be wrong, but it sounds to me, like you crossed one of those bridges today :) so hats off to you! - and I know for me... most of the time, when I am FORCED to let go of my "thought process" about what I am about to walk into... I generally DO end up enjoying myself, and then I look back, wonder what I made such a fuss about and breathe a HUGE sigh of relief because I can then add one more tick to the things that I avoid because of emotional trauma. :)

I have many emotional triggers and the post I wrote today was inspired by one of them... I recently verbalised my feelings (positively) and my insecurity got the better of me afterward which made me end up bursting into tears, because I felt like a fool. Then I stopped myself and realised that I was anything but.

Hope you enjoy :)

and yes... I know guys are generally not big on pics... so a big cheers to your wife for stepping in there :) Pictures (in my opinion anyway) help us to step into the other persons space and are often far more powerful than words.

Love,
Jerry Banfield

Hey @jerrybanfield :) I really just wanted to share this with you.... did not want to share it on a completely unrelated post, so thought I would share it here. Not sure if you have ever visited SA, but thought I might inspire you to consider it.

You shared such a lovely day out with your family above and today was women's day here in SA and this is what WE got up to :)

I love seeing families spending time together and always making time for our kids since they grow up so fast. Now these days the parents are working so much trying to make a living and not spending enough time with their kids.

im so far away from my family 😞 you are so lucky to be with your family 👍 best wishes for you and your family
