Ok how about some more questions??::

1.) What is your best Family vacation ever or family vacation memory?That's easy - our WDW trip/first DCL cruise in 2006 (this one will be our second). We had so much fun as a family, Sean and I had time to do things together and the kids had a blast meeting other kids and just playing. best of all were nightly dinners when we just hung out with each other and laughed. It really was an awesome family time

2.) Ladies, what is your favorite clothing store? ~~Heather stop laughing at this question.(Will explain later)Coldwater Creek

3.) What family pets do you have if any and what are their names?Kevin has a pet hedgehog named Slush

4.) What family traditions do you have?Christmas Eve - early mass, then dinner at Grandma's. Santa makes a visit every Christmas Eve; Sean's family has now adjusted to the fact that I serve lasagna in addition to whatever meat is scheduled on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter...; no family party is complete without genette cookies; family 4th of July picnic then fireworks at the local AAA baseball game; ... too many more to list....

5.) If you won the lottery what would be the first thing you would do with your winnings?pay off our mortgage and my sisters mortgages!!! : and set up college funds for our kids and all our nieces and nephews. And definitely take DSs and DSILs and families and my parents are a family Disney cruise!!!

6.) What is your current occupation as well as your spouses?

DH is a high school and middle school teacher; I'm a lawyer

Jude - I send you a regular e-mail with some graphics in it. Feel free to let me know what you think or if that is even what you are looking for.

Kristin - Glad that you and Bruce had a nice night out together! I bet the girls had loads of fun as well!!!!

5K Runners - If you are planning on jogging the 5K on Castaway Cay...could you please let me know? Also, if more than one person in your family is jogging...let me know that as well. I am making a VERY SMALL little something for anyone who is going to do the 5K. It is not a big deal at all but I don't want to leave anyone out.

Have a great 4th of July Everyone!!!! I will be up north at the cabin (leaving early tomorrow morning). If I can pick up the neighbors wireless network, I may be online a bit. If the signal isn't there...I will just be enjoying the cabin!

See you all soon!

I have not gotten mine yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

1.) What is your best Family vacation ever or family vacation memory?


My best Family vacation and memory are taking the kids so many times to WDW and the cruise. Also, we loved Vero Beach. Just spending time the four of us is the BEST!!!!


2.) Ladies, what is your favorite clothing store? ~~Heather stop laughing at this question.(Will explain later)

My all time fav. stores are Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft. Everything, in my closet is from these two stores. On my cruise Heather made me a door sign that had Minnie Mouse with a shopping bag and it said, "Is there an Ann Taylor Loft onboard?"

3.) What family pets do you have if any and what are their names?

We have a blind black cat named Spookie!!

4.) What family traditions do you have?

We have lots of traditions around the holidays, making gingerbread houses, and cookies, together. Going to WDW at least two times a year if not three to four times. Apple picking, together in the fall and getting pumpkins. Christmas Eve dinner...

5.) If you won the lottery what would be the first thing you would do with your winnings?

I would charter a private plane and head to Florida to figure out what to do next.....

6.) What is your current occupation as well as your spouses??

I am a former first grade teacher and currently am a stay-at-home mom... The best job in the entire world...My wonderful husband Bruce works at a large insurance company AXA-Equitable. AVP-of Advanced Markets..........

1.) What is your best Family vacation ever or family vacation memory?

Hawaii hands down. Better than cruising. Better than WDW. Better than DL. We started going in 2003 at Christmas when my brother gave us a one week stay in a condo on Oahu. We combined that with a week in Maui. We loved Maui and not Oahu. We've now made 11 trips of 10 days or more since. We rent a condo (almost always on the Big Island) and alternate days snorkeling, boogie boarding, playing tennis with our boys and exploring the islands. We get the great family time and great beach time. In 2007 we took my DH's parents, his sister's family, and his brother's family all for two weeks. I planned everything. It was the best vacation any of them had ever been on. Grandpa died suddenly last September and everybody has thanked me again and again for making it happen. The picture of all of us in our Hawaiian shirts is what they are putting on his headstone.

2.) Ladies, what is your favorite clothing store? ~~Heather stop laughing at this question.(Will explain later)

TJ Maxx and Ross. I won't pay mall prices.

3.) What family pets do you have if any and what are their names?

None. No time for pets. I've told my sons "as soon as I can learn to take care of you, we can have pets."

4.) What family traditions do you have?

Hawaii at/for Christmas. Rubbing butter on the nose (when they aren't expecting it) when somebody has a birthday. No idea where that came from.

5.) If you won the lottery what would be the first thing you would do with your winnings?

Make sure my family and DH's family are taken care of. Pay off mortgages and pre-pay college tuition for all nieces and nephews. Probably buy a condo in Hawaii. That alone would be $750,000.

6.) What is your current occupation as well as your spouses?

My DH and I are system engineers. We've both worked for over 20 years for the same company. About three years ago, the company closed our office in a tiny town near Seattle and told us to work from home. We said "ok!" While we didn't have much of a commute before (20 minutes and one stop light), our commute now is even better. When our oldest turned 12 he couldn't be in day care anymore, so the timing couldn't be better. We are home when the kids leave from school and when they come home. Life is good.

There are some downsides however....long hours and difficulty separating work from family time. Vacations have become that much more important...
the cruises we are doing in August are the first time I'll have been away from my computer for more than 4 days in the past three years....even in Hawaii.

I will send more graphics, I just want to get a feel for what you might like.

Tell Tess that I am not a fast runner! I could not convince my DD to run with me (which is good because she would probably run faster than me).

Have fun with the kids this weekend! We will be on the road soon!

We don't pick up Amanda until next Sat. We still haven't really heard from her, so I just have to assume no news is good news. It has been really quite and I will be happy when she gets home.
