Water Park Happenings

I hung out with Lilo today at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. For anyone who may not know, Typhoon Lagoon is a water park.

Let me repeat: a water park. And water parks mean swim suits. 

I don't know if you are aware, but there is a serious epidemic of obesity in the world. And hanging out with Lilo has made me very aware of that.

I actually came up close and personal with it. Almost too personal. I was walking with Lilo as we were coming off set, meaning I was on break. I noticed a man walking towards us... a rather large man. To my horror, he appeared to be naked as a jaybird (don't ask, but that's what my mom and her mom always called it... still don't know why). But to my, er, lesser (?) horror, he was just wearing a Speedo. Yeah... never been so relieved to see a Speedo. Regardless, the Speedo was WAY too revealing, and Lilo quickened her pace, hoping to avoid any contact with this guest. 

Well, the guest had other ideas. 

Normally, Lilo goes kind of unnoticed. Her best pal Stitch is the popular one, but this guy recognized Lilo right away. He stepped in front of her, stretched his arms out wide, and bellowed "LIIILLOOOOOOO!!!!!!!", clearly waiting for this little Hawaiian girl to run into his arms. 

Hahahahaha Lilo had other ideas... instead she waved at the man and bolted, I mean bolted towards the gate. Running with Lilo is typically not that easy. She has slightly large feet, and she makes brisk walking and running cumbersome. But I've never witnessed Lilo sprinting like that. I'm sure it was quite a sight to behold.
