Cute first day pics of the boys! Can't believe Justin is in high school! How did his first week go? Is he loving it? My nephew started high school this year, too, and my SIL was laughing because last night he went to the football game, but before he left he asked her, "What do you do at a football game anyway?"
We are such a soccer/baseball family!
Justin's first few days have been good, I think he's really liking the extra freedom at HS, makes him feel more grown up. He had his first real basketball workout today, I think he thought he was going to die
He's in pretty good shape as far as running and stuff goes, but he has never worked out much with weights or done target exercises. I told him if he thought he was sore tonight, wait until morning!
Too funny that your nephew didn't know what to do at a football game, Justin would probably be like that with soccer!
I haven't eaten at the ABC Commissary in YEARS! It used to be one of our regular places when I was a kid.
It really wasn't bad. I read lots of awful reviews of it, but it was fine and it was nice to be in the a/c!
Yeay for seeing the Indy show and exploring the Streets of America! It does look completely empty back there!
It was pretty empty, we only saw a handful of people!
Ewww to the man with his sweaty feet -- some people have no class.
It was really icky
Adorable picture with you and your mom with Sorcerer Mickey! Just ignore the people with the odd looks -- you are never too old to get your picture made with Mickey!
That's what I thought! I was surprised we got the odd looks, even the CM acted a little weird!
Ah, you saw Bo!!! We miss him a lot!
Did you find anything out about him on your trip, I take he wasn't there?
You can do it with me, Brook. I promise, you will come out feeling very good about your work!
I bet you'd both do a great job!
This is such a neat area. Every time I go back there, I notice something new.
So many wonderful details!
Great update!
I love your pics of the Beauty and the Beast show but ewww about the guy airing out his stinky feet.
Looking forward to more
Thanks, yeah, stinky feet guy was pretty gross - don't know what he was thinking......
So sorry to hear about your Aunt Michelle.
Thank-you Trish
Glad you and your mom braved it out in the line up and didn't bail before getting your photos taken with Mickey. You are right - you need to do that at least once per trip!
I'm glad we did it too, you have to have a picture with Mickey!
How did you like the Indy show? I haven't seen it in over 10years...wondering if you felt it was worth it or not.
We've seen it almost every trip and really enjoy it. I may skip it next time though, afterall it is the same thing every time....
Good call on skipping Starring Rolls to get inside for lunch. We definitely needed the break in air conditioning for meals that week!
It was so hot, we really needed to get out of the heat for awhile. I did miss out on getting a cupcake from Starring Rolls again though - I have to make that a priority next time!
That is revolting that someone put their feet up beside you on the bench...gross!!!
Yep, it was gross
Michelle, love the pics of the boys on the first day of school. You now have a high schooler -- those four years are going to fly by, believe me.
We've missed Beauty & The Beast the last two years so I want to be sure and see it this year. Mark and I get in line for the characters all the time -- let them look. EVERYONE is a kid at Disney World.
Great shot of your mom by the Singin' in the Rain umbrella (I've never seen it either...another thing to be on the look out for).
Oh, don't tell me Justin's HS years are going to go by so fast! I was a blubbering mess when I enrolled him just thinking that he is only 4 years away from college - it kills me to think of my baby growing up and leaving home!
I loved the Beauty and the Beast pictures! I think I mentioned before that we seemed to be hitting the same parks on the same days, so it should have been no surprise to me that you had the same actors in the show. We didn't experience any stinky feet episodes though, gross.
I think we may have crossed pathes though if you had hit up Starring Rolls. I stopped by to grab my cupcake, but we didn't want to eat in the park - like you mentioned, it was just too hot there that week.
Good thing you got to miss out on the stinky feet!
I thought about stopping at Starring Rolls to grab a cupcake on the way out too, but really wasn't hungry at all, so I didn't.

I bet your house felt empty with the boys back in school! I don't have to report back until the last week of August, but teacher inservices have already started.
Both of you did a great job on your drawings!
Your mother is such a trooper to go on all those thrill rides. 
I've seen you around, I think we subscribe to several of the same TRs!
