May 5, 2005 - Joy Slide

On our Disney cruise in 2005, Erin eyed the water slide with more than a little trepidation. She'd seen it on our first cruise the year before but had decided not to do it. This year, she looked at it with part fear and part anticipation. Her first trip up the steps took her a long time - she really wasn't sure it was going to be for her. At one point, she came back down, deciding to skip it altogether. But then she got up her nerve, got to the top, and (literally) took the plunge. Although her eyes were squeezed shut as she approached the bottom, she climbed out with a smile on her face. She was hooked. After that, it was slide, slide, slide. She must have gone down that thing 30 times that afternoon, and each time she loved it more. Even now, when we book a cruise, one of her first questions about it is, "Is there a slide?" But of course!
