Update #7: Dessert and Scattergories!
August 18th, 2012

Jonathan ordered some Churros for dessert, which were REALLY yummy. They had cherry filling and tasted absolutely delicious! (yes, I had to help him out a bit. I know, I'm such a good sister.)

For our dessert, Preston, Mom and I went to Frosty’s, which is a little ice cream place. It was only steps away from San Miguel’s!

They have Italian ice, homemade fudge, ice cream, candy, and Krispie Kreme donuts!

Clearly they were trying to kill me.

We all decided to get ice cream. I got Birthday Cake!

Mom got Pistachio:

And Preston got Cookies and Cream!

I love that their "smalls" were actually small here. I hate when I go to places and say "can I have a baby cone?" and they give me like three scoops of ice cream! Like.... no. Don't make me fat you darn ice cream places!! I'm trying to control myself. I JUST LOVE ICE CREAM LSAHJKFLSDFALKJFHDKALFLJSHKASJASDFSLAJK.

Ahem.

We also got some RED VELVET FUDGE (to take home) because it exists. As well as some Cookie Dough fudge. YAY!

We walked back to our room and on the way we were looking at all of the HUGE yachts. So my parents decided they wanted to take a picture with a really giant boat and tell some of their friends back home that we bought it. LOL frumps.

LOOK AT OUR NEW BOAT, GUYS!!!!

LOL jk.

We got back to the room, I wrote some more trip report notes, and then we all played Scattergories! It was SUCH a fun and funny game.

There were some really interesting new topics on it… such as “Things with Balls.” I put FART SHOES! Because who really even knows hahaha.

The funniest one was places to go on a date. Mom put “Ace Hardware.” A HARDWARE STORE FOR A DATE!? She then tried to convince my Dad that the time they went to Ace Hardware, that was a date. He was like "THAT WAS NOT A DATE!! WE WERE PICKING STUFF OUT FOR THE GARDEN!" bahahaha. Then Jonathan casually states “Arby’s” and we all started cracking up because you can't get much frumpier than that. Then Preston and I were like "...wait, haven't we gone on a date to Arby's before?" LOL I mean I wouldn't call it a "date" because I think our friend Sean was there too.. but you know. HAHA so frumpy. The things these people think of.

My Mom loves to make up the most random words, put them down, and then try to justify them. Another great one of hers for “hobbies” was “hoeing!” "Like in the garden" she kept saying. HAHAHA oh Mother. You're somethin' else.

We played about eight rounds of that game and then everyone went to sleep.

Preston and I stayed up and watched THE MUPPET MOVIE! We rented it from the gift shop for FREE! You just give them your room number and you've got yourself a movie!

Preston never saw The Muppet Movie before and it was about time he did! He needed to understand the beauty of fart shoes.

We both absolutely LOVED it because that movie is pure gold. It’s just SO FUNNY. We decided that Preston could totally be Gary because they’re both big frumps and children at heart.

My favorite part, of course, was “but the muppets are so talented.” “Hey look everyone! FART SHOES!” (clearly, I could not stop saying that all night!)

The movie finished around 1 am and then it was time to go to sleep. Until tomorrow, GOOD NIGHT!

That Mexican food looks delicious but the portion sizes look HUGE!

Oh my God, I love how that guy said to take a picture with the salt.

Fudge, ice cream, Italian ice, AND Krispie Kreme donuts?!?!?! I would have been in heaven.

The Muppet Movie is the most amazing movie ever. I could watch that all day.

 

[Disneydude97]

That game of Scattergories looks like it was tons of fun! I so wish I was there playing it with you guys!

My favorite part of the Muppet Movie?" Three words--"Man or Muppet?" That song is just epic!

 

[heathsf]

I just took an hour break in the middle of your update because I started watching Jenna Marbles videos. I had never seen any before. My finance came over to my computer to see what I was watching because I was hysterical laughing (My boyfriend Does My Makeup - LOL!!!!!!!!!!) and he knew who she was. But anyway, thanks for introducing me and great updates!

 

[sue_88]

Your mom is so fun! I loved hearing that she considered a trip to Ace Hardware as a date.
How was the birthday cake ice cream? It looked good.
I guess I'll go over and check out the landshark video. I need to stay informed on these things!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Your mama is too funny! Hoeing could definitely be a hobby!

I love the picture of yall with your NEW BOAT!

 

[emma212010]

That dinner looks fabulous!!!!!! And that place with the fudge and ice cream!!! WOW, that is amaing!

I love the picture of you all and the boat!! How funny!!

Scattergories is SUCH a good game! I love it!

 

[princess_momma]

Oh man! I might need to get a newer version of Scattegories! That has always been a family favorite in my house but after about a million game nights, you do want some new categories! I love it.

I am really aching to see the Muppets Movie! One day...

Nice yacht, btw! Now you can officially be in the Yacht Club. I think that means you need to book a trip there.

 

[flyergrad09]

Mmmm.... Mexican food! There's so much food! Especially that Fiesta dish! And oh, the guy with the salt... too funny! I love how the people who are with him are basically ignoring him in the picture.

That ice cream place is like sugar heaven! I tried birthday cake ice cream for the first time this summer at an ice cream festival close to me and it was so good! Now I look for it wherever I go.

Scattergories is one of my favorite group games! I love how creative people get when they play... haha, "hoe-ing!"

The Muppets is amazing! I saw it in theaters three times the first week it came out, but I haven't since then. That's so handy that they have a free DVD rental in the gift shop!

 

[Reberella]

​

Ahhh omg you guys are the cutest couple ever! Awww so sweet hahaha

Bahahaha isn't she HILARIOUS!? I love the boyfriend does my make up one!! If you haven't already, make sure you watch "How Diets Work" and "How Girls Pack A Suitcase." SO FUNNY. There's also a Disney Princess one! You're welcome, and thank you!

Nice yacht, btw! Now you can officially be in the Yacht Club. I think that means you need to book a trip there.

I just bought a new one right before this trip! It's so funny. I agree though! I have played it so much recently! Thankfully the letter is always different so it makes you think even if you have had the same list!
Ahh you need to watch it! It's out on DVD now - go get it!!
Oh thank you! Bahaha darn, a trip to the Yacht Club. I guess I will have to make a sacrifice.

Mmmm.... Mexican food! There's so much food! Especially that Fiesta dish! And oh, the guy with the salt... too funny! I love how the people who are with him are basically ignoring him in the picture.

I KNOW. Yum. Bahaha that was really frumpy. I think he was a bit intoxicated and the sight of me taking food pictures gave him that wonderful idea.

Isn't that a great flavor!? I get it all the time!

Me too! I know, it can get absolutely hilarious!

It's such a great movie! Hahaha I love that you saw it so many times! Yeah that was really awesome - they had such a great selection of movies, too! Disney movies galore!

Ahhh omg you guys are the cutest couple ever! Awww so sweet hahaha

Awww thank you so much! ​

 

[hollyrose]

Ok....love your posts btw....but I have a frumpin question- how the heck do you eat so much! You are so skinny and cute but eat more dessert than I do in a year! LOL! Lucky genes I guess!!! haha.

I live only 2 hours away from Hilton Head so I'll def. have to check this out. I remember when it opened back in the 90s my parents were going to buy a timeshare or whatever it is called there. OH HOW I WISH THEY DID! Oh well.

Thank you! And bahaha I have NO idea. I think the fact that I ONLY drink water evens out the amount of calories that I eat. And probably my metabolism. If that slows down I'm kinda screwed.

Yes you will! Aww I wish they did too! That place is awesome.​

Update #7: Exploring Mini Disney!
August 19th, 2012

This morning I woke up at 8:45 am and went into Mom and Dad’s room. They were still sleeping! I went in there, woke them up, and we chatted. I made Mom an instagram (because she really wanted one) and I showed her how to use it.

Once we finished talking it was about 9:30 am and I decided to wake up Preston! He got up, we both got changed and got ready, and then we went over to go get MICKEY WAFFLES! Nom nom nom.

We ordered, then we went into the gift shop while we waited and looked around. Then it was time to eat! Preston said the Mickey Waffles were even better this morning! Mmmmm. I don’t know what the heck it is about those things but they literally taste like pure magic. They are the fluffiest and most delicious waffles in existence. Not to mention, THEY'RE MICKEY SHAPED. Everything tastes better when it's Mickey shaped.

Those things are so perfect it’s not even funny.

My appreciation and love for Mickey Waffles has skyrocketed after this trip.

Preston gets ahold of the camera:

Gotta love a picture of a man and a Mickey waffle. ♥

The background music today was Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, It’s a Small World, and it’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow. What a wonderful day.

Then we went back into the gift shop and I bought the DVC pack of pins. They were SO cute. My main reason for buying this was because of the beautiful Bay Lake Tower pin, and it was so worth it!

Once we checked out, we answered the trivia question on the day. It was “what shape of cookies do the three fairies make for Aurora in Sleeping Beauty?”

I guessed either hearts or stars and Preston guessed Mickey heads. The CM said, “you should listen to him!” because Preston was right! I don’t know how he knew that! Fart Shoes. He got a pin and some smarties!

We stopped at the recreation building and traded for some pins off of the pin board. Preston got a North and South America Mickey pin as well as a 1991 Winnie the Pooh pin! I got a Figment pin and a Minnie Mouse pin!

Then we walked around took lots of pictures of the resort.

This is the pathway we would take to get from our building/the pool area to the main lobby. It really was not a far walk at all! This resort was the perfect size. It was small and everything was within walking distance. On top of that, it was always REALLY quiet - you would never know that so many people were there! Like I said before, the best word to describe this place is "relaxing." We were all big fans.

We both have Mickey shirts!

Disney always has perfect flowers.

They had cute billboards like this on the buildings:

Ahh the Live Oak Lodge... aka the check in building!

There were some Bambi and Thumper topiaries out in front, so I had to grab a few pictures with them!

DEER FACE with the deer!

I love this place.

We went upstairs and made our way inside these magical doors.

Our main purpose of this visit was to look in the big ol’ pin book. I snatched up this Peter Pan Platinum DVD Release pin! I was SO excited!!! It definitely wasn’t there the other day when we looked!

I also found a random Black Cauldron pin and for some reason I wanted to trade for it, even though I’ve never seen the movie. Fart Shoes. (I ended up trading it away anyways lol)

We also took some pictures of the lobby so we could show you all what it looks like:

MICKEY! He was greeting us by the DVC table.

If you walk into the next room there is a very nice lounge area:

It's so nice and relaxing in there if you want to play a game of pool or watch some TV!

I wish I could have a Mickey waffle every morning for breakfast. They are just so heavenly.

The DVC pins you got are awesome!

The Bambi and Thumper topiaries are adorable!

The lobby is so cute. It’s so homey and I love it. Totally Disney for sure!

 

[catchmeifyoucan]

Haha I love it that Preston knew the answer to that trivia question! He's a keeper for sure! Love the pictures of the resort, it looks beautiful. I saw a bumper sticker for Hilton Head on a car when I was driving to work and it made me happy

 

[missnarwhale]

I have read ALL of your TRs in the last few days. I'm basically stalking you.

But they are my favorite and I love them.

Please tell me you have a hair secret. You have perfect princess hair. Share the secret lady!

 

[Reddog1134]

I bought the same DVC pin set, also for the BLT pin.

I buy the pin for each resort we stay in and that's the only BLT pin I've seen. It just didn't feel right buying a Contemporary pin to represent BLT.

 

[__disneygirl]

Well, I'm disappointed that your beach update did not include someone peeing on you. I'm sure people already told you that urine apparently soothes the pain of a jellyfish sting. I know this mainly because Chandler peed on Monica at the end of Season 3 when they all went to the beach. hahaha.

I love your explanation of the frump lifestyle and all. It must be odd for someone who has no idea about frumpin' it up/deer face/fart shoes to stumble upon one of your TRs expecting a typical Disney report. LOL.

http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/4746/dsc0120e.jpg PLEASE blow this up to like 40x26 and frame it and mount it over the fireplace. It's the best picture I've seen in one of your trip reports and that is saying something.

OMG that random guy who wanted you to take his picture with the salt. What a frump. Also, that's really funny that they dump the salt into a Corona bottle. That has to be the biggest salt shaker I've seen.

Lmao your face in the ice cream place. I know that face. And I know what you mean, I always have to ask for the child size because the smalls are huge!

HAHAHAHA hoeing. Not something you want to hear your mom say she's up to LOL. Scattergories is one of the most fun games ever. We always play it at family get togethers and the same kind of stuff always ends up happening, it's just so hilarious. Same thing with Catch Phrase, I don't know if you've ever played that one but it's ridiculously fun.

It still kills me that you and Preston found each other. When I see a picture of this guy wearing a Disney World shirt and holding a Mickey waffle and then you're talking about him being into pins and the whole deal I just have to laugh because it's like, of all the schools in the world you two ended up at the same one. Destiny!!!

 

[petals]

love the peter pan pin
