LOL:rotfl: how is everyone??? im staying home today cause my sisters knee is bothering her(she had surgery done on it about 2 years ago) so im staying home and hopfully sleeping well my parents cars are drivable. it just on my moms car the passenger door wont open so who ever is sitting in the passenger side has to climb into it LOL. the side of my dads car (the driver side door) was pushed in but that was the same side that a truck came and side swiped the side of the car while it was parked out on the street. well in other news, the weather is beautiful yet cold.

We prefer Blizzard Beach overall, but in my opinion Typhoon Lagoon is better for younger kids.

Hi everyone! :wave:

I'm here on my own today as DH and youngest DS (Samuel) have piled into the Lexus and set off on the 260 mile round trip to see their soccer team Aston Villa play - bless 'em... :goodvibes

So I'm planning a day of self-pampering - long lazy scented bubble bath, facial treatments, manicure and pedicure. Plus I'm going to attempt to come to terms with my dodgy haircut and experiment with alternative ways of wearing my fringe (bangs)!!! :scared1: Should be fun..? ;)

Hope everyone else is having a good Saturday... :cool1:

I hope everyone has a good one! It's only 7:21 and I'm tired already. :lmao: I've been up since 6 trying to get things ready to leave and getting everything set so when we get home tomorrow the Easter bunny will have been here. :flower:

[kritter]

We prefer Blizzard Beach overall, but in my opinion Typhoon Lagoon is better for younger kids.

Thanks, I think we may try and take them to Blizzard Beach,

[kritter]

i think maybe Typhoon Lagoon.

Thanks, I just had the kids look at both online. They are too funny they want to do both...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Vs. Sunderland today, correct? Villa's next game at Man Utd is being televised here next weekend.

[hmansure]

Thanks, I just had the kids look at both online. They are too funny they want to do both...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

The boys always split on that decision... Keira is still undecided! LOL

The last time we went to Blizzard Beach it was actually not very crowded - and on pretty hot day, too. Tim went on Summit Plummet over and over and over again in a quest to get over 55MPH! He was pretty light at the time and just couldn't get up the speed. I barreled down pretty quick, but was generally left with a mega-wedgie that I rather soon forget :rotfl:

Harry,

How old will Keira be when we cruise???!!!!!!

[CustardTart]

That's right! They're a little nervous as Villa seem to be running out of steam and even tho' the should beat Sunderland, at this stage of the season nothing's a given... ;)

Man Utd are fantastic at the moment and Cristiano Ronaldo has got to be one of the (if not THE) best players in the World! Despite the men in my life supporting Villa, I'm a Man Utd fan - my father's family originally entered England in the North West and settled there for a while before ending up in the Midlands...

Hope my DH and DS will get to see the Man U/Villa game in Barbados... :goodvibes

:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: I remember when Samuel went down the Leap Of Faith water ride at the Atlantis resort, Nassau a few years ago - he was a blur but when he got out his swimshorts were at armpit height!!! :lmao: :lmao:

I'm not a fan of water parks - I got a little freaked out by the number of discarded verruca plasters/dressings I saw on the pathway my first time at Blizzie Beach!!! :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: So the gang tend to go without me. I am looking forward to trying Aquatica next summer - I shall be hiring a cabana and settling down for my day of sun with a cold drink and a crime novel... :thumbsup2

[msteddom]

Melissa,

I'm sorry your break is almost over I always hated when I was teaching and it was over...!!!!!!!! Enjoy the rest of today and tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

[CustardTart]

Sounds better than my plans!!!

We-ell I wouldn't mind hunting for Easter eggs and nibbling on birthday cake... :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

Had my day of self-indulgent pampering and I'm pleased to report I have managed to do something with the oh-so-horrid hairdo!!! :mad: Thanks to DD and her collection of clips and grips that she picked up for me, I've been able to slick my fringe to the side and put a pretty clip in to keep it in place. It's not exactly sophisticated but it'll do while it grows... But enough of my self-absorbed ramblings! :rolleyes:

The weather's been insane here today - hailstorms, blue skies, high wind and torrential rain!!! :sad2: My boys are on their way back from the match now (Villa lost! :headache: ) so I just hope the have a safe journey...

[KayR]

Which water park do you think is better for my kids who are six years old??

Do you think Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Both are neat, but I prefer Typhoon Lagoon - you can swim with the sharks :-) It was cool (both the water and the experience!). The feeling is quite relaxing and tropical. Look out for the ice creams - served in small plastic pails with a shovel for your spoon!

You may also want to look at Seaworld's new waterpark - Aquatica. Looks fun too.

Glad you had a nice self indulgent day. Everyone needs one of those every now and again.

The weather sounds.. welll...typically 'can't make my mind up' English weather. Just reminds me one of the reasons we enjoy being over in California now :-)

Never really was a soccer fan myself. If I support anyone it is Notts Forest (but that is because all my family is from there). DH is from Northumberland so he and his family probably would be Newcastle supporters. (DH is not a soccer fan either!). Sorry the boys team lost though!

So far I've been to Costco and dyed Easter Eggs with the kids. I'm tired though, DD woke up in the night, so I didn't get much sleep. Going to settle down with the kids and watch a movie I think. I still have to make a dish for an Easter brunch & egg hunt tomorrow with our neighbors and then we have an Easter dinner in the evening with another family.

I think making the brunch dish is the last thing I need to prepare for tomorrow. All the decorative eggs are dyed and the ones for the egg hunt are filled.

Enjoy the candy / Easter eggs tomorrow:)

[caitlinsdad]

Sounds like a FUN Day. The kids want me to hide some eggs so they can practice for tomorrow morning...LOL!!!!!!!!lol sound like a good plan

[caitlinsdad]

So far its been rush here,and rush there.

Started today taking the trash to the dump, then Caitlin to Sewing, while I did some food shopping for tomrrow, were having Turkey. Then did some easter basket supply shopping for Caitlin's basket. Picked Caitlin up, stopped and brought home sandwiches, Then it was time to Hard boil some eggs, Opps need to go and get something from the store for Beth.
Back home cooling the eggs, Time for Caitlin to color the eggs.

Later tonight I do my impression of the easter bunny as I fill the basket and pastic eggs for the egg hunt tomorrow morning.

Even at 10 1/2 Caitlin loves huntting for the eggs.

She is going be surpriesed when she opens a couple of them and find out about summer camp and change of Vacation, that money and some chocalate in some of the eggs too.

Almost forgot, a trip to Best Buy, my mouse for the laptop died, time to pick up a new one.

Started today taking the trash to the dump, then Caitlin to Sewing, while I did some food shopping for tomrrow, were having Turkey. Then did some easter basket supply shopping for Caitlin's basket. Picked Caitlin up, stopped and brought home sandwiches, Then it was time to Hard boil some eggs, Opps need to go and get something from the store for Beth.
Back home cooling the eggs, Time for Caitlin to color the eggs.

Later tonight I do my impression of the easter bunny as I fill the basket and pastic eggs for the egg hunt tomorrow morning.

Even at 10 1/2 Caitlin loves huntting for the eggs.

She is going be surpriesed when she opens a couple of them and find out about summer camp and change of Vacation, that money and some chocalate in some of the eggs too.

Almost forgot, a trip to Best Buy, my mouse for the laptop died, time to pick up a new one.

SOunds like Caitlin will have FUN tomorrow. YOu'll have to let us know her reaction to the summer camp and vacation plans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[caitlinsdad]

My DH understands that well. :rotfl2:

[hmansure]

Oh,, she'll only be a year younger than the twins!!!!!!! Maybe, they can swim, etc. together??!!!

That'd be great!

[hmansure]

That's right! They're a little nervous as Villa seem to be running out of steam and even tho' the should beat Sunderland, at this stage of the season nothing's a given... ;)

Man Utd are fantastic at the moment and Cristiano Ronaldo has got to be one of the (if not THE) best players in the World! Despite the men in my life supporting Villa, I'm a Man Utd fan - my father's family originally entered England in the North West and settled there for a while before ending up in the Midlands...

Hope my DH and DS will get to see the Man U/Villa game in Barbados... :goodvibes

Well if they were running out of steam coming into today... they are on empty now..... how disappointed were they when they got home?

[hmansure]

:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: I remember when Samuel went down the Leap Of Faith water ride at the Atlantis resort, Nassau a few years ago - he was a blur but when he got out his swimshorts were at armpit height!!! :lmao: :lmao:

I'm not a fan of water parks - I got a little freaked out by the number of discarded verruca plasters/dressings I saw on the pathway my first time at Blizzie Beach!!! :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: So the gang tend to go without me. I am looking forward to trying Aquatica next summer - I shall be hiring a cabana and settling down for my day of sun with a cold drink and a crime novel... :thumbsup2

That's just NASTY! :scared1:

Help!

I want to set up a sig with the Tortola Treasure Seekers Logo/Piccy thing on it. How do I do that, where do I find the picture?

:surfweb:

TIA

-Kay

[CustardTart]

Glad you had a nice self indulgent day. Everyone needs one of those every now and again...
Yes, it was fun - just relieved I can do something in my hair and manage to look like a grown-up! ;)

...The weather sounds.. welll...typically 'can't make my mind up' English weather. Just reminds me one of the reasons we enjoy being over in California now :-)

Who wouldn't?! :worship: :worship: :worship: We're looking forward to our brief visit in August... :goodvibes

...Never really was a soccer fan myself. If I support anyone it is Notts Forest (but that is because all my family is from there). DH is from Northumberland so he and his family probably would be Newcastle supporters. (DH is not a soccer fan either!). Sorry the boys team lost though!

I can't imagine soccer not being a huge part of my life - with DH and 2 DSs who all love playing, supporting and watching the beautiful game... :rolleyes: Today it's what the sports channels are calling Grand Slam Sunday - the 4 top teams are playing and it's televised!!! :happytv: :happytv: :happytv:

[CustardTart]

I hope they make it safely home Karen!!!! I'm glad you have found a fix for your hair!!
Thanks Nikki!!! I'm learning to live with it... :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

The boys made it back in remarkably quick time! So home for NCIS and a glass of wine - DH, not Samuel! He settled for an early Easter egg and a huge glass of banana milkshake... :thumbsup2

[CustardTart]

Happy Easter Sunday, my fellow Tortola Treasure Seekers!

DD Sophie and her boyfriend Dr. Joe are coming for lunch in a couple hours - roast beef, roast lamb and all the trimmings this week. :thumbsup2 Sophie's made a chocolate Easter cake so that's for dessert... :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9:

I've finally booked flights to Orlando for Samuel and I in October! :woohoo: Hoping to book BCV or BWV at the 7 months window next week but if we have to stay at SSR that's no problem - we'd kinda like to experience the resort in warmer weather!!! :lmao: :rotfl: :lmao:

Good morning & Happy Easter everyone! Quite a chilly Easter morning here though....

Hope everyone has a GREAT day! :)

[PrincessMom2002]

The boys always split on that decision... Keira is still undecided! LOL

The last time we went to Blizzard Beach it was actually not very crowded - and on pretty hot day, too. Tim went on Summit Plummet over and over and over again in a quest to get over 55MPH! He was pretty light at the time and just couldn't get up the speed. I barreled down pretty quick, but was generally left with a mega-wedgie that I rather soon forget :rotfl:

It's a cheap thrill! :rotfl:

Just testing to see if my first attempt at setting up my sig worked. Fingers crossed everyone!

ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE
I LEARNED FROM THE EASTER BUNNY

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket
Walk softly and carry a big carrot
Everyone needs a friend who is all ears
There's no such thing as too much candy
All work and no play can make you a basket case
A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention
Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day
Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits
Some body parts should be floppy
Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans
Good things come in small sugarcoated packages
The grass is always greener in someone else's basket
An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare
To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell
The best things in life are still sweet and gooey !!

In the spirit of this religious holiday I will temporarily refrain from comment on my faves above! ;) Obviously by saying that I didn't actually refrain from anything did I?! In actuality no body parts should be floppy, but I guess that's the direction most people head, but at least it keeps the trampoline interesting - right Karen? ;) {of course I am in no way insinuating anything about Karen here - poop buckets flop, too right?}

1:30 in the afternoon and now I can sit down for a bit,

Did my Easter Bunny chores and hid the eggs this morning, Caitlin woke up and found her basket filled with books, tamagotchi's Chocolate and candy.


Then outside to find the eggs hide around the yard.

23 in all, money and more candy filling the eggs, and two were filled with special messages.

She was surprised to when she opened the first egg and it said, your vacation has been moved, Now starting Aug 9th and going to Dollywood,

Later she found the egg with the message, you are attending the westport summer theater camp

I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call the police as load as she yelled in glee, :lmao:

Well the Turkey is now in the over, and just finished cooking cheeseburgers for lunch.

[caitlinsdad]

Hi Kristin! DH is OK. Kind of having a set-back but he's doing OK. Thanks for asking!

I spoke to DSis last week and they are planning, however, her daughters are going to be starting school that week and I think the price is throwing a wrench in things. She said she was going to talk to her DH about it. She wants to go, and usually gets what she wants. :laughing: But I don't know. They were going to wait until Aug. to book but I warned her about the price. I passed on all the info she needs to get pricing. :thumbsup2

Plus we've booked tickets for the P&PP on May 9th so we could always meet in MK - we have a 5.20pm ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern...

Any thoughts??? :goodvibes

We will be at Epcot on May 8th, until after Illuminations (I have never seen it), but we could meet somewhere in MK, during the P&P party, we are arriving at MK before lunch that day, we have ADR's at 1:20pm for CRT, so we are free after that to meet. I want to go see Jack Sparrow between 6-6:30 over by LTT- so maybe we could figure out a spot by there. I can't wait!! :goodvibes

[CustardTart]

Yes, are you???!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I am! :thumbsup2 Got a great deal on a couple of flights for DS and myself so I went ahead and booked. :woohoo: So far I've snagged 4 nights at BWV and the remaining 3 nights are at SSR - tho' I may try and change to all BWV... :cool1:

I saw Illuminations for the first time last October - we had an ADR at the Rose and Crown and saw it from their viewing area. It was awesome - Sophie and I loved it... :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

I would love to see it from there, maybe next time!! Everytime we go to Epcot- we go early in the day, and are exhausted after dinner, so we wind up leaving the park early. Well this year we are sleeping in, and won't be getting to the parks until around midday. I really want to finally see Illuminations.:yay:

Illuminations is our favorite fireworks show. Love it.

We have seen it from the front of the park (front row seating that I had to get there an hour and a half before show started in November! Luckily it wasn't too cold!)

But the best place IMHO is from one of the pontoon boats that moor up under the bridge between France and England. Great view, but you also feel the fireworks through the boat. We have done it twice this way. First was Easter 2007 with family from the UK (a special treat for them), but we also got a boat for our 10th wedding anniversary in Jan this year. OK it rained a bit, but still cool. We took champagne on the boat with us and sat under umbrellas. Fun.

Thanksgiving they add a few extra minutes of fireworks. WOW. Amazing. Not sure how long they offer the added show for or if they do it at other times, but they sure do light up the sky then.

Hi Karen - We've seen Illuminations many times over the years, but last November we watched from the same area you did and loved it. Didn't have to stake out a spot way ahead of time, no crowds to deal with, and an nice easy escape out of the park when it was over.

I thought Spring Break was usually around Easter, or is that only in Maryland. Most schools have the week before or the week after Easter around here, my sister's kids in Pa. were off the week before.

Mine are normally off the week after, but with it being so early, they pushed it back. Our last day of school is June 5th or something like that. Last year it was June 14th because of all the snow days they had to make up. My sister's kids get out May 22nd! I think that is early! How about Jordan?

She is actually in a pre-K daycare, they are open all of the time, summer too, so she will be there until around mid August when she starts Kindergarten, she will be turning 6 in September, so she was past the cut-off for Kindergarten this school year, we kept her in her daycare, as they are an accredited Pre-K too.

I've seen them from the land and pontoon boats. Personally I perfer the land, being crammed in under the bridge with the other boats, all we could see is the flames and feel some heat. I saw more of it from the land

Must say I didn't like the new show as much as I like the old show from the late 1990's

Yeah.

You want butter or jam on that, honey?
No ma'am, dry.

Best damned chicken in the state.
Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.

From one of those chain emails that goes around and around and around....

Those Born 1930-1979!

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930’s 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren’t overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING !

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day.

And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo’s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD’s, no surround-sound or CD’s, no cell phones, no personal computer! s, no Internet or chat rooms…….WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

If YOU are one of them . . . CONGRATULATIONS!

Are you the police?
No, ma'am. We're musicians.

The Blues Brothers.

You miserable slug! You think you can talk your way out of this? You betrayed me.

No I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.

That's what happened with DS. He actually met the cut-off by 18 days in our district, but there was no way I was sending him being so close to the cut-off. It was a VERY wise move on our part and he's much better off because of it. What day is her birthday? DS is 9/12.

Greetings all. I'm back into a routine (sort of) after the tough week we had last week with the passing of my mother-in-law. Kids are having a tough time of it - we all are of course - but watching them just breaks my heart.

Anywhoooo, we felt like we needed a does of Disney so we booked a trip for Memorial Day weekend. Staying at the GF. This was a trip we had planned in January but had to cancel when my m-i-l fell ill. Amazingly we got every dining reservation that we had in January - even on the same days (Thursday's reservations stayed on Thursday). Strange..but great. Didn't get as good a deal on the room as we had a 20 percent discount (AAA) in Jan. but over Memorial Day it was only 10 percent. At least it was something!

Also made the final decision on our summer vacation - doing the Mexican Riviera on Aug. 10 (with Karen!).

Hope all of you are having a great week! I'm going to try (in vain more than likely) to keep up with you all.

:hug: :hug: :hug: So sorry you're all having such a horrid time right now, Jeff. I know how tough it can be. It was the 15th anniversary of my Mum's passing on Easter Sunday so we had a family lunch and raised a glass to her - she may be gone but she's definitely not forgotten, bless her! :flower3:

Hope the GF break lifts everyone's spirits and I look forward to meeting up with you and your family in August... :goodvibes
