ONE cannonball into the pool and I'm labled a trouble child??? WTH???

Your forgetting to mention that the water was 3' deep when you jumped in.

We're game as long as we can cancel.

Being we have the 6 hour 38 minute commute, it just might take us a while longer. Please tell me we don't have to drive through any mountains! Mountains are bad enough in perfect weather conditions, I'm not sure Gary & I would survive driving through them in the winter --- by that I mean our marriage.

Who else is game?

I don't remember mountains in Sandusky or in Erie. I think your safe.Which one are we going to aim for?I faxed Great Wolf last night for group booking info. We will have to have 10 rooms to make a group. I think ,I can get some friends from here to book a room too.So we should be able to hit 10.

Okay, getting that out of the way makes me feel better.

Do we know which weekend we're talking?

For us, it's going to depend on that as to whether we can commit or not. There are a couple weekends in January that are out, a couple in February and the end of March as well as probably another weekend in March. Cameron camps monthly with Boy Scouts so that chews up a lot of the weekend and Walker has his Adventure Guides weekend coming up as well. Busy, busy, busy.

- 3'6"

- 3'6"

Just a technicality.

I'm sure your landed on the bottom when you cannonballed in.

Here are some of our pictures from the weekend:

Gail, John & Deanna at the Rosemont Theatre where we went to see the Rockettes Friday night:

My family:

Hopefully lifelong friends:

Can this be considered police brutality?

Buying tickets for the el:

Riding the el. It's hard to tell in the picture, but Cameron was pressing his face against the plexiglass. Some of the people we were with thought it was great fun to try to scare me 1/2 to death. Trying to tell me that Cameron got off the train, Walker got off the train but the worst was when Chris & John jumped out and knocked on the window from the outside at one of the stops. This Mom tends to panic more times than not, so I'm glad I provided some amusement:

 

[cgcw]

And a couple more!

Did someone say Fields?

I thought I heard Carson's too?

Or was it Water Tower?

Can anyone guess where we are headed now?

Only our group would this of this!

 

[cgcw]

One more bunch!

Check out Muscle Man:

Better yet, this one was real. If anyone hasn't experienced Gary's picture taking, maybe you want to try it holding up 40# on each side while he poses you just right!

This is what John was wishing while he was holding those other weights:

Pre-roadrash:

Lunch Sunday afternoon at Chili's:

Well, it is kind of true. We don't usually make drinks at home -- a bottle of beer and/or cooler type thing is the most we do around here. It's our friends that show us over to the darker side.

Annmarie, Tina & I made a couple of kool-aids Saturday night. Somehow they didn't taste as good as the ones on the ship. It could in part be because we didn't really use much of anything to measure with except the letter O on the solo cup -- and then Tina gave up on that and just added what she thought was 1/2.

But.....Tina, tell Tim when he sees the crate that it will be a little empty compared to when he brought it into the hotel. A lot of the bottles went home with our Michigan friends and I don't believe they have any intentions of bringing them back to the next get together.

The Killer kool-aids really didnt taste good at all...I think I added too much booze to mine...Oh well! I dont think Tim will care if all of that booze is gone...He brought it and was wanting to empty some of it out of his house. I think there will be more at the next meet, we are not big drinkers unless we are in a crowd, so the house is full of booze.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

Oh poor Walker and Deanna...How are they feeling?

I hope they both are feeling better!

The color was off on both of ours as well.

If I remember, I will bring a shot glass or something to measure with next time.

Are you in for a winter get together and/or cedar point?

 

[cgcw]

I hope they both are feeling better!

Walker was feeling so much better Sunday night. Then he realized that he was hungry -- famished and couldn't get enough to eat while trying to find softer things to let the gum heal a little bit.



Gail, how is Deanna doing today?

Mary that's a really cute picture of Christopher. Glad you and your brother/sisters had a great time staying in the Grand Villa. They are really nice.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

I've heard good things about Kalahari as they also have a location in WI.

We are definately in for this one.


I have a question -- totally off topic. When we get together, do you consider it a DIS meet? Mary asked me this question on Saturday and I know my answer. I won't post my thoughts just yet as I'm curious to hear what others have to say.

I'm in for The Dells...I love the indoor waterparks in the winter!!

I would call this weekend a meeting of friends...Alot of my friends and family asked me what did you do for your birthday? I told them I had some friends in from out of town this weekend and we hung out and had fun all weekend.

Yes, but you forgot to mention the little splash ended up all over Chris!

 

[cgcw]

Mary, I also meant to comment about Christopher & Santa. Brave little boy as I'm surprised at his age he didn't get scared by the man with the white hair and beard.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

Good morning everyone!

Busy around here. Did all our Christmas cards last night. Now I just need to stuff, seal and stamp and they will be on their way. Have our holiday party at work today as well as a number of meetings, plus some work that needs to get done before I leave. I think it is going to be a long day. Worth it though because this time tomorrow we'll be at the airport waiting for our flight!

Have a safe and fun trip!!!...Cant wait to hear about it!!

The Dells would be really far for some. We're talking about Ohio instead. By Curt's calculations, it's about 6 hours and 38 minutes for us to get there.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

Okay, now that I've had some coffee, let's see. This all started because we were talking about Cedar Point and now we've change the discussion to talk about getting together before Cedar Point -- which I don't believe we've finished talking about Cedar Point but I can multi-task (sometimes).


If we're talking about meeting at a water park sooner than July, I can tell you that the weekend of 2/10 is out for us. We are also in Hilton Head 3/25-3/30 so that won't work for us.

And, much like Curt, I'm a bit leary to plan a long drive during the winter months so even though we'd love to see you all, my feeling is that January, February and early March might not be the best time.

Feb. 9-19 is out for us...we will be at WDW!! Otherwise, I dont think we have much else going, until of course July, when we will be in yucky OK, while you guys are having fun at Cedar point!

Neat pictures Cindy. We did have a good time. John has a close up of Cameron with his face pressed against the glass.

Glad we have the picture from the security camera screen

We are up for the water park get together. We don't have any problem with the winter weather. That's why I'm leaning towards driving to WDW in February. That way if the weather is bad and they close the airports I can still drive out of here!

Which park are we talking about - that safari looking one? I don't remember the name, but I think it's in Sandusky.
