Hi Sandy

My mum is doing great thanks, she's just bored being stuck at home. She should be having the dressing removed a week on Thursday, so hopefully she'll be out again soon

BBC3 have just started showing this last season of Dr. Who again each night. Last night was the one with the little 'fat' aliens (I can't remember their names) and tonight was the volcano in Pompeii - they were really good

Have a lovely evening

Enjoy all the Dr Who. I have them all on my computer now, this season anyway.

Glad your mom is doing well.

Here is a description:

At the Vista Spa, there's a wonderful Tropical Rainforest where you can relax on the heated tile lounge chairs, enjoy an aromatherapy scented session in a steam room and refresh yourself in an aromatic mist and rainfall shower. (The fee for this is determined by varying factors.)

hmm interesting i don't know if its worth over $300....lol I will have to think about it i guess it would be different but we are already getting most of the stuff included in the romance package with the wedding it self...we get champagne & strawberries to our room, we get concierge service, we get a special gift from the cruise line...so I don't know if the only additionw ould be the Tropical Rainforest if it will be worth the extra money....hmmmmm

Suzanne...

No I haven't got the dive plans finalized because all SIX of the dive shops I've contacted haven't responded... one did, then when I wrote back to reserve something they didn't respond again.

I'm fed up with it. I figure we'll go swim with the dolphins when we get there so we don't have to be the cruise excursion's exhorbitant fee AND we'll be able to actually ride um and stuff. Alana would LOVE this, of course, and so would I although we have fed um, petted um and hugged um in the past at the same place.

Anyone else gonna go to Paradise Island er whatever it is and play with the dolphins?

Pam

We are doing the catamaran snorkle trip while in Nassau. We did the other snorkle trip last time and it was ok but I thought the boat ride would be nice also.

Sandy - there is no off season in gymnastics. She got Memorial day and the 4th of july off. She does only have practice mon-thur in the summer, but come Sept it will be 4 weekdays and saturday for 3 hours each day. She may get the week of Christmas off, no that is definite since we will be in WDW

We had a really great day with our Amish friends. Their kids had never been swimming before and were scared at first, but 8 hours later they wanted to wear their life jackets in the car ride home. It was so nice to hear the kids just squeal in delight with the pool and for the boys to experience such a different culture. Of course big mouth Brennan just had to tell the mom that I mentioned they still lived like the olden days. I felt like crawling under the table. Brennan did ask if they could take a picture together and the said that the kids would be allowed but not the parents:

Tonight Keegan had yet another baseball game in the 12U tournament. They were the only 11 year old team and ended up ahead of their own league's 12 year old team. They lost by 2 and got a nice trophy for being runner up. We were told that if they win this weekend at the state championship, they will go to the national tournament in Albany, NY the 1st/2nd week of August. The team tonight (like last night) had kids that looked like grown men. Here's a picture of Keegan catching. He's 4 feet 11--check out the size of the batter..

Does the U in 12 u mean up That kid is bigger than my husband... well that is not saying that much


The kids are so cute and it is such an experince. I had the chance to get to know an Amish family a couple of years ago and they too allowed pictures of the kids but not themselves. They had 2 sets of twins with either 9 or eleven total. They called their farm Double Trouble Acres! They were so nice! My little one and one of their little ones would sit in the back of my van and watch DVD's, while Mom and Dad and I built a website using the lap top battery. When it went dead, we stopped for the day They did not live very far from the Nickle Mine Shooting a few years back, though none was involved. The Mom was an ambulance crew chief before she was married, but after that it was strictly house and kids. No electricity and the phone was out in the building where the business was run. Luckily they did have indoor plumbing, because my little one never went anywhere without saying : "I got to go potty!!"

I'm looking forward to watching all the episodes that I missed

That sounds like a cool excursion to take Diane

I don't have to visit my mum today, so after running a few errands this morning, I will drop Becky off at 'work' (where they're having a day off, and they're going to Birmingham - not sure what she'll be doing, but I know she's hoping to be shopping and going to McDonalds for lunch ) then me and Kerry are going for a wander around the shops in Coventry

Have a great day everyone

Mandy, Paul, Kerry & Becky

Woohoo !! It'll be here before we know it

 

[sarahsmom73]

Happy Birthday Ant!!!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Hi Guys!

Quick check in! I have a to go see the chiropractor and check the mail this morning...


I am sure Sarah will be swimming a lot and tonight is soccer! I'll try to catch up later!

BTW Laurie - I stayed on that site for another 30 minutes last night... LOL!

 

[xoxheather420oxo]

Hello to all...just wondering if everyone has gotten there luggage tags from Disney yet (for the magical express) We haven't but all of the people in our party have so i'm getting worried that Disney forgot about us lol....

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY FROM JEFF,MICHELE,NICOLE,SARAH,AND AUSTIN

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Morning Ladies, Mandy have fun shopping today with kerry.

Laurie, I hope ant has a great party and all goes well..no difficult relatives ruin it. Hopefully i will catch u later tonight.

Sandy, We haven't chatted in forever.. I can't wait until we are all on that ship drinking our bahama maamas and torturing the other pasengers..lol.

Danielle, Those were nice pics but are u sure they are true amish people or menonites? I am pretty sure that true amish wouldn't let their children be photgraphed or ride in a car. My friend lives in lancaster and that is what she told me . The menonites are a less restrictive group of amish. Anyway looks like the kids had fun.

Well my day is full of paying bills, post office, bank and woohoo town hall..aren't u all jealous..lol.

I will check in later.

I will check in later.

Thanks Michele, Kerry and I had a lovely morning. We went to the girls fave shop (the Blue Banana which is just like Hot Topic) and she got a cute skirt and fishnet gloves for Pirate Night and a skull belt from Claire's.

After shopping we went to a Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet, which was very nice

I don't envy you having to sort out those bills, I hope the lines aren't too bad for you. I hope to catch you later

Hello and sorry to anyone I have missed this morning


Another beautiful pool day today. It was already getting hot as I did my walk this morning at 7:30. The next few days are going to be steamy Angelina has a game at 6 so we have almost all day to play!!I am going to stop at home depot today and get some of the mickey heads from the paint dept to let the girls make a cruise countdown calendar. It's hard to believe it's close enough to start thinking of that.

Happy Birthday Ant! It's party time

Good morning all!

Mandy- sound like you guys had a nice time today. I can't believe that Disney is just a month away, it doesn't seem possible.

Michele- Have fun w/ all your errands today. I'm here working as usual. I'll be doing laundry too and cleaning the bunny cage - so no big party here

Laurie- How's the work stuff coming, I hope it's not making you too crazy and that you get time to enjoy yourself today

Jen- Hope you feel great after the chiropractor and that Sarah has a ball swimming

Heather- I'm a TA and I don't have any ME tags yet for my clients or my own and I go to Disney on 8/20

Danielle- great pics, looks like everyone enjoyed their day

Diane- glad gymnastics is still going strong and that the cast didn't get in the way
