At SeaWorld in Orlando

Trying to shoot video when you have the hiccups is a challenge.

Viv was homesick!

A brief conversation while we were in Orlando:

Vivian: "Mickey Mouse says 'I want to go home!'"
Nicole: "Do you want to go home to our apartment in New York City?"
Vivian: "Yes!" Then a pause. Then, "Where are we?"

Nicole: "Cassie, are you finished with your breakfast?"
Csssie: "I can't eat any more. I have so much energy from yesterday, it's shooting out of me like rocket ships!"

Cassie, looking at a collection of sailors' knots: "When you're a pirate you have to be very good [at tying knots]. You can't ask the other pirates to tie your bandanna for you."
