Basking in the Glow of the (not so) Creepy Clown -2/11-Pictures, Final Thoughts, PTR!


I want to do an update here, but I know responding to everyone's comments is going to take FOREVERRRRRRRRR, sooooooooooooo, while I hate doing this and I love to reply to everyone, I am going to just go through and respond to anyone who asked questions and pull out a few so we can get on with this!

Is that okay? :flower3: You'd much rather have an update sooner than later, right? :blush:

Absolutely! We just want to have more of the Brook trip report goodness! We've been missing it so.:goodvibes
 
Thank you EVERYONE for your kind words about me being absent from the DIS, the job, my friends wedding and the Thanksgiving wishes! :goodvibes

And I hate to say it (hope it won't get me banned from your TR, or anything!), but my first experience with your beloved corn dog nuggets was really disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high? They tasted like they'd been sitting out for quite some time, though, so I'm going to give them another chance someday. Hopefully I just had them on a bad night.

OUT! :mad:

;) Just kidding, of course! I too will admit I've had better batches than others - I remember one batch being over done and it just wasn't nearly as tasty. Plus, they truly aren't for everyone - you are not alone in not liking them! No worries!

But, I would suggest to try them again...:laughing:


I actually ate the corn dog nuggets when we went there in Feb because you liked them soo much! I actually liked them and I am not a corn dog fan...i'd normally rather have a hot dog!

Woo-hoo! A convert! :laughing:

Good luck with the job search, I just accepted an offer today! :banana:

I can't believe Joe wasn't wild about the Corn Dog Nuggets...how are you still married to him? :confused3 (kidding, obv)

Congratulations on the job!!!!! :yay:

I was shocked at my own husband saying that!!!!!!!! :mad::sad2::mad:
:rotfl:
 
OMG - now I'm drooling...those wonderful little balls of love! :lmao: I LOVE :love: those doughnut holes!

I think of you anytime I see those or see a picture of them! It's so strange that they have removed from from all the breakfast bufferts! They can't be all that hard to make (or buy from Enttemens!' :rotfl:)

:lmao:Joe wasn't a fan of the corndog nuggets! That made me laugh because I'd already commented on your tr that I didn't get all the hype! Sacrilegde on Joe's part though!:eek:

I know! Can you believe it? The one I have chosen to commit my life to doesn't like the Golden Nuggets?!?! :eek: LOL! At least he still likes other options there--and he has to get the Cracker Jacks. He never buys them outside of Disney, but they are a must for him there. :confused3

I always said I never understood why people went on and on about the 'terrible twos', with both my boys 3 was a much more challenging age!

Exactly!!!! Just this month things have gotten easier though, thank you Lord! October was rouuuuuuuuugh.

Nice wishes pictures. What's up with the tiny little desserts? Were they always like that? Those chocolate strawberries - YUM!

Yep, they have always been mini. I like it because in my head I can eat more and more and more. He he!

A CM told me that it's a pretty cool spot to watch Wishes, too. Assuming you've seen it enough times to not mind missing the music.

Ooooh, that sounds like it would be very cool!

You should of thanked a CM that the tiki room was closed! :rotfl::rotfl:

While I have never eaten at Casey's, you can tell your DH that I don't like corn dogs either... {runs and hides}

:rotfl: Not a fan of the Tiki Room, eh Tim? :laughing:

Tsk, tsk! You should at least try Casey's!


Exactly!

Yep, boys will be boys. I have seen many boys, big and small, sword fighting in that shop, but never any girls and women. :laughing: I like seeing the guys in the Star Wars shop, too, at Hollywood. They get into their Star Wars stuff.

As for the food, all of it looks luscious. I would have had more than one piece of watermelon on my plate. I am a watermelon fiend!

I would love to have just watched Henry exploring life and learning new things at the Bear Country Jamboree and in Pirates and the Tiki Room. So much of the fun of a trip is watching the little ones absorb and enjoy it all.

It's true! He doesn't even know what Star Wars is, yet loves that gift shop. :laughing: One of these days I'm sure we'll come home with a light saber.

I too love to watch the little ones experience it all. :love: That truly is magic!

Great update Brooke, I love this photo they're both so intent on watching the fire works! I would print this and frame it. It's like Disney has captured them with it's magic.

I should submit that to the Memories site! It was a very sweet time standing there all watching it together.

The fireworks dessert party looks awesome. But I'm still sad that they did that in our fave place to watch fireworks in...for free hehe

Now, wouldn't it be lovely if they re-opened it WITH the desserts for free? :lmao: I can dream, right???

Oh no! People who do exotic weddings are brave souls. They are so beyond beautiful but they are so risky. Sorry you won't be able to escape too. That sounded like a nice excuse to have some grown-up time.

And that's exactly what it was going to be...a lovely, much needed getaway for not only us, but other couples that are friends of the bride and groom.

Sigh! All well - it all worked out, but I still dream of snorkeling in St. Lucia! :goodvibes
 
:eek:Holy cow! That is terrible!! Sheesh, talk about stressful. Your poor friend. I hope she can work something out! How disappointing for everyone involved. My sister had a very stressful wedding...the pastor didn't show up! I am not kidding! That fool fell asleep watching the game! So, we're all waiting around for him wondering where he is and finally the wedding coordinator called someone she knew who was a pastor and he showed up in a Hawaiian shirt and khaki pants!:laughing: The pics are hilarious and my sister can laugh about it now. But it sure wasn't funny then!:laughing:

And, like you said, the silver lining would be Jetblue credit! Nothing wrong with that! Feb. trip, done!:thumbsup2

Oh my gosh! That is SO FUNNY! Not at the time of course, but the whole Hawaiian shirt and khaki pants thing! :rotfl2: Why did the pastor come in THAT?! Sooooo funny!

Brook, I am so sorry to hear about your friend's wedding plans. I hope she is able to alter things and everything will run smoothly for her. I also hope you don't lose too much money on your tickets. :hug:

Everything ran PERFECTLY for them with the wedding! She said that most everything in NYC had been booked until the previous weekend, but since this was the weekend before Thanksgiving, there were very few weddings - they were able to do everything very easily! :thumbsup2 It turned out beautifully!

As for us loosing the money...that's another story. :sick: We lost a LOT. But, all well - it is what it is! We do have a teeny tiny credit on Jet Blue that will help with the Feb/March tickets though.

Sad to see her plans "blown away". I"m sure in 20 years they will laugh about it, but now it must be so stressful to find other arrangements. I think maybe EVERY year after they are married they should take a trip to St. Lucia in honor of Tomas. :confused3:rolleyes1

:laughing: They mentioned they will probably go on their 1 year anniversary! They really loved the island and the resort and had built relationships with the people working there to help them plan their wedding. Thankfully none of those people, or their families were injured during the hurricane!
 


I just found your trip report and am all caught up! The next time I will be at WDW will be the first trip with my son. He will be turning 2 during the trip! It is great to hear travels with such a little one. I need tips!

:welcome: Thank you for reading and posting!!!

It is a JOY to travel with a little one! It's amazing to watch their eyes light up in wonder and glee at all of Disney has to offer. My biggest tip is to make plans, but be ready to throw them out the window. Be flexible. Follow the cues of your DS. Allow time to watch the water fountains, the ducks, and play on the playgrounds. It's wonderful!



The possibility of planning another trip has me lurking on the boards again :cool2:

Woo-hoo! I hope it works out for you!!!!!

I can totally understand why Henry didn't want to leave the park. My family has to take me out kicking and screaming.

:rotfl: I guess that's pretty true for our entire family too....

How awful. Will you still go to where ever they make new plans at?

They ended up having the wedding ceremony in Central Park and the very intimate dinner reception at a wonderful restaurant. The food was DELISH! It was a beautiful wedding!

Ooooh, I almost forgot! Guess what shake has come to Chic-fil-a?? The peppermint chocolate shake! Honey, you've got to get your hiney there (I know you said they're scarce where you live) and order one! IMO it totally blows away the Shamrock shake. I'm just saying...:rolleyes1

I WANT! How long is it there for? Please, please, please be there through Feb and March!
 
I was behind a few updates on your report, but it turned out to be a complete blessing to me to log-on here today!!! I have been going through alot emotionally with the whole SAHM vs. working thing. My husband just doesn't understand why I'm feeling what I do, so its nice to read all of the comments from everyone here on DIS regarding you going back to work! Reading this has put alot of reassurance in my own decision...along with feeling better that so many moms out there can relate...so thank you for that!! :goodvibes

I completely understand what you said...I've been a SAHM for almost 3 years now! (It will be 3 years in February) I LOVE being home with Luke & feel so blessed that I've been able to do this for so long...but at the same time, I think that Luke and I could both benefit if I went back to work, even if its part-time. Last week, I was seriously considering going back to work, but ended up deciding against it (for now). I'm going to wait until the Spring/Summer and then apply at some local daycares. I think it would be a good experience for me, I'll have something to put on my resume to show I've worked while being at SAHM, and Luke can benefit as well. He will have interaction with other children a few days a week & will learn that there is life out in the world without mommy! Sometimes I think his little world revolves around me...and while I love it, I think it will be scary for him once he starts school and realizes mommy can't go too! I worry alot about that. Anyway, enough about me! Just wanted to explain a little so you know that I understand both your excitement & nervousness for going back to work!

I wish you all the best in your job search & really, really hope the job that you want works out for you!!! I will definitely keep you in my thoughts & prayers! I hope you get called for an interview!!! :goodvibes

:hug::hug::hug: I think those feelings aren't uncommon at all with us SAHM's. I've spoken to a few friends about it all and they are either in that exact place, or have been there before and made a decision about it all. Right now I am still looking to go back to work, I just need to get very active with the job hunt/applying again!

Hi there! :goodvibes Just wanted to wish you interviewing luck, and tell you how much I LOVE your TR- I'm allllllllllllll the way back on day 2 :scared1: but LOVE every bit!!

pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust: for your interview!!

Ellen

:welcome: Ellen! I have lurked on a few of your TRs! Thanks for reading!!

What kind of job is it Brook? I'm sure you nailed the interview. :)

It was a position for Software Support. I'm a hardcore geek! I LOVE this field and truly hope to get back into it! This software was for online advertising for small businesses.
 
Glad you friend's wedding came together. Did all of her guests lose their airfare :sick:

I'm sure your job interview went great!

Is this the first time you haven been away from Henry? We left our boys for 4 or 5 days Spring Break to visit my friend in Iowa and I missed them ridiculously.

We were the only guests to loose airfare because they had booked everyone else's tickets - they were going to book ours too but ours had to be different due to flying back to Minnesota after the wedding....so in all, no one lost anything-except us! :rolleyes: The bride and groom had travel insurance AND wedding insurance. They want to meet up with us soon and talk about what we lost - they want to help us out if they can, they feel so bad - but really, it's not their fault, I feel bad for them!!

This was the first time we were apart from Henry for more than 2 nights. I missed him, but I knew he was having an AWESOME time and actually didn't want us to come when Joe's Mom told him we were on our way. :rotfl: So, all that helped. Plus, just having an entire day of ALONE TIME was beaaaaaaaaaaaaaautiful.

Yeah, I *thought* DH would do that too. When the questions started coming...not so much. :laughing:

My trip was SO much fun. Food and Wine was fantastic.:thumbsup2 Girls trip to Disney, what could be better? :cloud9: Well, longer would have been better - but I'll take what I can get!

Now plotting family trip for 2012 - just need to get DH on board - which is always the challenge...:rolleyes:

Good luck on the job and have fun at the wedding!

I am afraid that is how it will work in this house too. :rolleyes:

So glad your trip was wonderful!!!! And I hope that 2012 works out! ::yes::

Have fun with family and freinds. I didn' t realize Minnesota had snow already.

They didn't have a whole lot at the time, but enough to make Henry excited! :laughing: They recently got a blizzard though, so I'm sure it's there to stay now. We still haven't gotten anything here! :dance3:

Add me to the group, I arrive on Feb. 28. My first stop on March 1st will be MK(I think).

:woohoo: There are going to be a ton of us down there! I gotta get my notes in order so we can all figure out when to meet up, etc. One big 'ol DIS meet would be a ton of fun!

Well, I am all caught up with your TR and I just wanted to say, you can count me in with everyone else on this thread- I am officially head-over-heels in love with Henry! He is so stinkin' CUTE! He really reminds me of the things my boys used to do when they were little...Awwww....

Very excited for you about your Mom moving to Florida, ESPECIALLY because she's going to be living near Orlando! :thumbsup2 My MIL lives in Florida- about 7 hours away, so it doesn't work out so well.....

And WOW! You are really taking a long trip to WDW in March!!! Lucky YOU AGAIN!!!:yay:

Ellen

Awwwwww! Thanks! :goodvibes It really is such a joy to watch everything through his eyes! I savor it now, I know time will fly and soon he will think things are baby rides and not get that same glimmer in his eye!

Or perhaps I have brainwashed him well. ;)

Good luck on the job hunt!! And if you are looking for career suggestions, I had a dream about you last night, and it involved work! We were on vacation in NYC and we went into a Stride Rite because one of the boys needed new shoes. I immediately recognized you and you helped us get shoes for whichever kid needed them. As we were leaving, you took a break and we all went out to lunch together. I ordered nuggets and fries for me kids and you were horrified that I gave them such junk food. :lmao:


Happy Thanksgiving!

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: That is HILARIOUS! Perhaps I should sell kids shoes!!!

And NO WORRIES on the nuggets and fries----we had Burger King yesterday for lunch! :rolleyes1 ;)

i've been away from the DIS for awhile and just saw your post about the St Lucia wedding! I didn;t know they were hit by a hurricane! So sorry to hear that your trip is cancelled and hope they were able to get everything settled for a NY wedding!

Side news....are there any good websites for looking for Broadway/off broadway tickets? My cousin is a freshman at Fordham University in Manhatten and we are thinking of visiting her in Feb or March and we definately want to hit a show while we are there! THanks!

There are a few different options that I have found that are good:
1) There is a TKTS stand here, one in Times Square and one at the South Street Seaport. They have tickets up to 50% off; however, you never know exactly what they are going to have AND you have to buy them the day of-you have to wait in line. You can sometimes score a good deal, but there aren't many options.
2) Playbill.com - join the free club, you'll get their emails and it will also give you access to their discounts, which are quite good! We got 30% off Mary Poppins - and they even took more off at the door when we presented them with the coupon printed from the website! :thumbsup2

I've also heard of people snagging a good deal just by walking up to the box office for the show they want to see and asking for a deal. I haven't done that, but always worth a shot.

Joe gets some good discounts through work - your cousin might be able to snag some deals as a student too - there are OFTEN times student discounts. Visit the website for the show you want to see and look around at discount pages - or Google it. Often it's the very front row (which is considered a bad seat, but I don't think it's that bad!), and sometimes only for matinee shows. But sometimes you can get them for $25!
 


When you know you do not have to work, you can just be patient and wait until the right thing comes along. Enjoy your time with Henry until it all falls into place. :)

I enjoyed seeing the picture of the Christmas lights you came home to. :santa: That had to be fun for Henry!

Exactly - I am very blessed to not be rushed into finding a job and I can be a bit picky and not set all my hopes on one thing. I know many, many, MANY people not in that same situation desperately searching for anything.

Henry loves those lights, when they turn on he says "It's Christmas outside!" We now have Christmas inside too - the tree is up and the stockings are hung!

It's one of those places I'd like to visit someday, but don't know if I would like living there.

That's how I feel about the country! :rotfl: I know NYC is not a place manyyyyyy people would EVER choose to live though. Most of my family doesn't get it! :goodvibes
 
We left off as we had returned to the beautiful BWV after indulging (and indulging, and indulging!) in those tasty sweets at the Wishes Dessert Party.

My notes don't tell me what time we woke up that morning or what time we headed to the park of choice...but from what I do remember, we just slept in until whenever we woke up, but we were just about 10 minutes late for Rope Drop anyway!

We didn't exit through the normal lobby doors to head to the buses that morning...
1015220110_8HdUx-M.jpg


1015220243_nqGjr-M.jpg

Going down in the elevator

And out to the Boardwalk!
1015220456_uNRNE-M.jpg


1015220480_VF7kG-M.jpg

It was another beautiful day!

It was just a short walk and we had arrived!
1015220514_FP8tX-M.jpg


Oh yes my friends, we were LOVING that private entrance!

Into Epcot we went, and through the very quiet and closed World Showcase. It was a bit odd walking through that area when you knew it was closed...but made ya kinda feel like a VIP at the same time.

1015220594_v9syy-M.jpg


1015178609_EwD4s-M.jpg


1015178758_zZHY7-M.jpg

I love you fountain!

On the walk toward Future World Joe and I discussed our first ride choice. In the plans I made in my head leading up to the trip I thought we should do Figment first, grab Soarin' FPs and hit up Nemo....however, Joe had other plans.

1015178789_A6Xnx-M.jpg


:scared1:

I was NERVOUS about this. Henry did awesome on Soarin', but Test Track is another animal. And his first ride of the day??? I was thinking we should get him "warmed up" first, but as soon as Henry heard the words, "Do you want to go on the car ride?" he was all about it! :hyper: I had shown him videos of the ride on YouTube, so he knew exactly what to expect and I was so hoping he would make that cut-off of 40 inches otherwise we'd have one disappointed little boy!

So onward to Test Track...the stand-by was only 10 minutes...Henry knew the drill to get measured and ran right up the stick.

1015179065_Puq4E-M.jpg


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand......

SUCCESS!!

1015179161_MobZB-M.jpg


He loooooooooved the queue. Joe and I were joking all the way through, we knew he must have been thinking, "Man! My parents were holding out on me! I never knew THIS was here!" ;)

1015179216_GXUXY-M.jpg


1015179407_9USV8-M.jpg

A big thumbs up!

1015179391_UCGZT-M.jpg


1015179409_CQwvz-M.jpg


1015179460_xXrdM-M.jpg


Even though I am NOT into cars at ALL, this is a very cool queue!

We got to the front and were ushered straight through-no pre-show! The wait wasn't even 5 minutes, let alone the 10 that was posted.

1015179478_HEtKo-M.jpg


Very soon we were loaded into a car and we were off!
1015179512_pdpoc-M.jpg

1015179702_FfAN8-M.jpg

Outside going 60 mph!

Continued in next post
 
Continued from previous post

And after it was all over, I asked, "So what did you think of it Henry?"
1015179728_da7LP-M.jpg

We still got a thumbs up! HE LOVED IT!

1015179773_GpSuE-M.jpg


And as if the ride wasn't cool enough----the cars at the end and the dump shop---this kid was in HEAVEN!

1015179821_MZhPC-M.jpg


1015179921_2P5Mq-M.jpg


1015180046_F6Vyg-M.jpg


We were in there for almost an hour!

While I love to see the magic through my little boy's eyes, and I know how much he loves cars...there is only so much of all the cars I can take. I hit my limit right around 45 minutes and we ended up taking a crying child out of the dump shop. :rolleyes:

We made plans that next trip I'll be in Mouse Gear while the boys do the cars after-show and dump shop. ::yes::

1015180104_GiERL-M.jpg

We haven't gone in this side of Innoventions in a LONG time. Next trip!

We crossed over Future World and our next stop was
1015180171_vpHEk-M.jpg

Nemo!

I always attempt to get pictures, and always fail.

1015180217_FRyvM-M.jpg

You can kinda see a blurry Mr. Ray in there...

Okay, those weren't coming out, it's the end of the ride, let's try this:
1015180272_2Mzyt-M.jpg

:lmao: The World's Worst Family Self Portrait EVER.

Despite the poor picture attempts, we always enjoy this ride. Henry likes to find Nemo and I like to sing along. ;)

Onward to the tanks and Turtle Talk!

1015180462_e3AXJ-M.jpg
[/IMG]
Henry made friends with this little fish while we waited for the Turtle Talk show.

1015180392_BRbiu-M.jpg


1015180594_Tky4s-M.jpg

Why will he share with this fish but not his friends? :laughing:

1015180717_ErxfM-M.jpg


We were let into the theatre and tried to get Henry to sit up front, while we sat directly behind him on the front row but he lasted about 2.8 seconds and was on our laps.

1015181067_CLaUn-M.jpg


1015181186_e9M93-M.jpg


The show was hilarious, as always....however this is one we won't EVER forget...

When Crush came out with the bathing suit top and asked what it was a kid piped up, "A bra!" and Crush asked what it was for and that same kid literally shouted out, "To cover your b***ies!"

How does a computerized Crush react that that?

The same way most adults did: :eek:

Then laughter erupted so loudly in there I swear the walls shook!

And Crush remained: :eek: on screen.

:rotfl:

It was so, so funny. I'm sure the mother of that child was a nice deep shade of red. :laughing:

Continued in next post
 
Continued from previous post

We next went to the tanks and wandered through for a short bit

1015181228_2PFXy-M.jpg


1015181313_arUHR-M.jpg

They are so pretty!

1015181445_qC3Rk-M.jpg


1015181488_EvSVr-M.jpg


And before we left we played around in here for a while.

1015181584_DfmnR-M.jpg

1015182223_bp2ow-M.jpg


1015182229_Db2SN-M.jpg


And - exiting the aquarium area resulted in another meltdown from the little one; however, as soon as he saw the dump shop goods he recovered...and he found a cute little Nemo plush.

1015182325_VQDZv-M.jpg


If you remember correctly, I had told him he could pick out ONE plush for the trip. He had already had several plushes in his hands, but each time had elected to return them to the shelf....but not so with Nemo!

1015182427_M53Ed-M.jpg

He was very excited about his choice! I was a tad nervous - thinking he would get upset later when he saw a Buzz Lightyear, but nope! He was THRILLED with Nemo...and still is! He wants to find a Marlin.

And for the rest of the trip he got a ton of attention with this Nemo. I can't even count how many CMs would exclaim, "You found Nemo!" when they would see him. It brought a big grin to his face each time!

1015182456_KhKVU-M.jpg

We also picked him up this cup. I saw this same cup in Brooklynn's hands over on MeMom's report. Popular choice with those little ones! :goodvibes

1015182550_nLEq2-M.jpg

Love this one. :lovestruc

1015182603_8yY3C-M.jpg


Video of the seagulls and a bit of Henry (34 seconds)

And next up was the ride I had been thinking we would do first - Figment!

1015182673_WuHz9-M.jpg


I ended up taking Henry into the Imagineworks Lab while Joe went to grab some FPs for Soarin', when he got back we'd ride together.

1015182690_pJMd2-M.jpg


Being in this area brought back sweet memories of Henry's first trip when we held him up and waved his arms and legs inside the yellow strips to make Figment play music. Now, here we were again and Henry could do it all himself. :cutie:

1015182694_fUZBw-M.jpg


Video of Henry "playing" the tuba with Figment (29 seconds)

1015183057_56DZU-M.jpg

Nemo was quite the musician.

1015182785_QUcEs-M.jpg


Video of Henry running around on the light-up pads (54 seconds)

Henry had a great time in here, and many of my pictures are just a blur. We played and played and PLAYED. It had to have been at least 20 minutes...where was Joe????

Continued in next post
 
Continued from previous post

And suddenly he appears.

He had gone on the ride! :rotfl: He said he couldn't remember how to get into the Lab without riding the ride, so he just rode it solo in order to get to us. I haven't a clue why we didn't use our cell phones, but all well - we didn't. So we exited the Lab and went back around for a spin on Figment.

1015183227_mNkxA-M.jpg


After the ride Joe showed me the goods:
1015183257_fKkvf-M.jpg


Henry found several things he wanted in this gift shop as well, but thankfully he left it without a meltdown! :woohoo:

1015183346_cpPKn-M.jpg

This picture makes me ache a bit! I want to be there RIGHT NOW!

We made our way down the Rose Garden path and into Canada.

1015183469_wK8DS-M.jpg


We just wandered a bit and then hit up the KidCot Stop.

1015183441_5GLDm-M.jpg


1015183489_u8SX3-M.jpg

Amazingly, he didn't ask that I draw a car on this mask!

And then onward to the UK
1015183525_mu6Nz-M.jpg


Where we would be dining that afternoon!

What would we eat? Would we enjoy it? Would Henry have another meltdown later...or would it be someone else...? :rolleyes1
 
Lovely update!

Hope you are enjoying your first Christmas season in the city with Henry! I think NYC is so magical this time of year!:love:

We also picked him up this cup. I saw this same cup in Brooklynn's hands over on MeMom's report. Popular choice with those little ones! :goodvibes

Love this one. :lovestruc

And that cup was a nice price, too. :thumbsup2

That is a very cute one of the boy and his fish friends. One of these days we need to get the whole gang of DIS kids together and have their pictures made together at all of these familiar places.
 
Great update! You are so right about feeling VIP using the Epcot back entrance! We loved that :)

Henry with Nemo is so cute! I think he made a good choice :thumbsup2

Uh-oh sounds like a melt down is coming :eek:
 
AN UPDATE!! Love the drunk Henry Family Portrait!! :lmao::lmao::lmao: Looks like our typical one. :rotfl2:

I love your scenic EPCOT shots! Those are simply lovely!

Henry is quite the budding artist- the KidCot stops are so great for the little ones.

And I see you went on one of my personal favorite rides--- the farting skunk ride. :thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2
 
Fabulous update Brook!:goodvibes How great that Henry braved Test Track! That's pretty darn good for a boy his age. I saw too that Joe had his arm across him while on the outside track at 60mph! I laughed because I did the exact same thing to my then DD4 because I felt I needed to hold her in! Doesn't it feel much faster than just 60mph?:eek:

Epcot is such a gorgeous park and your pics do it justice. And I do love your family self-portrait! It's um, well, unique!:laughing: I have plenty of pics of me doing that with my family and they are 99% hideous.:laughing:

Ok, I faintly remember you mentioning YOU had a meltdown at Epcot so my guess is that is the next update!:laughing: Every mommy is allowed to have one (or a hundred;)) It looks like you still had that great karma going on for this trip, what a laid back and relaxing time you had! Looking forward to the next update!:goodvibes
 
Love that Epcot back entrance - not that I've ever had occasion to use it :rolleyes: - it's on my "someday" list to stay at the Boardwalk!
Love the family portrait - great memories!
Love the fish pictures with Henry!
How fun to watch him discover Test Track! :thumbsup2

I like this idea! I can tell you right now, it isn't going to be easy with all the little ones. Should be interesting though to try.:goodvibes
Great update! Henry is such a cutie!! What a great choice--getting Nemo. I'm pretty sure I have him around my house somewhere.
