I feel like he was being equally petty back the last couple days - showing how dumb it is to not only take kids that age to Disney (when it's so far), but also for such a short time. He took them to a local park with a giant blow up slide, bumper boats, and basic attractions/animatronics, had them paint a dog house this morning, and then seemingly to an arcade with a rollercoaster simulator this afternoon. Can wager that when they go back next week both will be similar topics of discussion.
Smart on his end honestly. At that age just foolish to dump a ton of money into a trip like that, better to do something smaller like the stuff close to home.
