Fairy Trapping at Epcot

I thought this deserved a separate post. Dylan and Olivia were so tired at Epcot. We left our house around 1 and got there for the afternoon and evening in hopes of seeing the fireworks. At 6 Dylan was asking that we go home, and complaining that I shouldn't have gotten him ice cream because he was too tired to eat it. (Obviously, he wasn't himself.) There is so much irony in this whole theme park thing to me. There are always kids screaming and crying and parents dragging them to 'have MORE FUN!'.

Now, on to Dylan. After being reamed out for forcing ice cream on Dylan. (LOL) We went to an area that had a small butterfly garden. Here Dylan and Olivia found this cute little friend dressed in a fairy outfit. They were playing so nicely, despite the fact that I thought Dylan had switched over into a bad mood for the rest of the day. Once he is in a funk, it is so hard to get him back to his happy self. I was so relieved that he was seemingly happy again. I took some great pictures, and as I did I overheard what was REALLY going on. See story with pictures below:

(BELOW) Dylan introducing himself to the fairy as 'Batman', threatening to trap the fairy in the tunnel.
(BELOW) Olivia thinking that this could be a nice friend, Dylan informing the fairy that Olivia was Robin and would help him to 'Trap her UP!'
(BELOW) Olivia and Dylan trying to catch and trap the fairy.
(BELOW) Dylan showing his 'knuckle sandwich' move. This was about the same time that the fairy's parents realized that this was not just a cute little game of chase. This was serious batman business. For some reason the fairy and her family decided to go and grab dinner.
(BELOW) Dylan was a little annoyed that the game ended prematurely and so he told me he was going to jump this fence and stomp on the flowers. He then pointed to the flower fairy in the distance and said he would tackle her. I wish I had a photo of me chasing him into the flower bed and carrying him back to the stroller....because this was what happened next.


In hindsight, I probably should have stopped Dylan from tormenting the cute little fairy. But, the pictures looked so sweet and innocent, I just couldn't resist.
