Mine are 7 and 8, turning 8 and 9 end of May/beginning of June...I think we have nice groups of kids close in age

So sorry you are dealing with Chicken Pox. The thing we found that worked wonderfully was Aveno bath. It's a powder, and very soothing. But also very slippery, so keep a hand on your child if they stand up in the tub.

My DH will bring kids to the kids meet since I'll be at the DIS meet

I can fit in his pocket at 5'0 - yes, I could have played a munchkin in OZ - so we tend not to blend in so well either. My sister calls us an exclamation point couple, he's the tall part and i'm the little dot !!!!.

Sounds like there will be a lot of tall men (my DH is 6'4" too) and some short women (I'm 5'2"). We always joke that I can stand under his arm when it rains and not get wet. My mother called us the trylon and the perisphere (you have to go back to the 1939 World's Fair for that reference...see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trylon_and_Perisphere. Guess which one I am lol).

Well, since the kids' meetup at the Mickey pool after lunch was my idea, I can safely say that I have no intention of the two overlapping because I am going to both.

Thank you. We enjoyed this ex pilot's lectures and transit day commentary very much. I recommend the lectures, particularly if it is your first transit.

We got to do the adult flubber class on the 3 night DVC member cruise in January, it was an absolute hoot!! The guy they had conducting the class so funny we were almost literally ROTFL.

Great news about the job, but sorry to hear you had to cancel.

We will have to make sure to introduce our 10 year olds. I believe that you are also looking at the Edge for your son. I also believe we have some of the same excursions booked. Maybe they will get along and enjoy hanging out...even if one is a girl and one is a boy! Our DD turns 11 in mid June and is currently in the 5th grade.

Wouldn't that be great? But don't be too surprised - 10-11yo girls are so much more mature than their male peers. 10-11yo boys are just dorks. Found that out on the last class field trip. But they can at least join forces to break into the Edge!

Our cousins who are sailing with us have two boys who are 6 and 11. The 11 year old is planning to be in the Edge for this cruise.
