A Flower, A Bird, A Teddy Bear & the Disney First Timers!* LAST UPDATE* 07/25/08

Were the totem poles spitting water out? I couldn't tell since it looked like your kids were still dry.

Love the Mickey ice cream bar photo of your son.

Thanks for pointing out the new hidden Mickeys...we will look for the POC next time (I think DD is still too young to enjoy the treehouse ... or maybe not...)

Love the Jungle Cruise! My boys totally hit the deck on that part in your video! It was hilarious!

And I am head over heels in love with your little man! Seriously, that pic of him with his Mickey Bar makes my heart melt!

No the Totem poles don't spit water. They just play jungle drums.

Gotta love the Mickey bar!

Does she like to climb? My kids just love to run through it ! When we got off, Bird was like lets do it again. I took one look at my Mom and Dad and said uh Maybe later.

Couldn't you just squeeze him? I do frequently which is sure to torment him when he get older.

Thank you! Sorry your dial up is so slow. I looked at flylady a little at work. May look at it some more today.

I thought they did Every time I'm there they spit water. Or maybe I'm just losing it. Or maybe you are just trying to trick Marshay

 

[Marshay]

I assume they only have the totems poles spitting water in warm weather. They were working when we were there in September...I guess Jan/Feb weather is too iffy so they turned them off.

...or it's yet another cut back!

ahhh that would make sense.

I hope it's the weather thing and not a cut back.

 

[OrangeBlossom15]

Oh I had no idea they spit water. They didn't when we were there. The kids would have loved that!

I really thought that's what they were doing in those pictures, playing with the water the tiki's were spitting out. Does my comment about the stitch in DTD make more sense now? Hopefully next time you go to MK they will be working.

Like your TR so far.........

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Hey, you're already in MK and spotting Hidden Mickeys all over the place! Did you help the kids find them, or were they doing it all on their own (or just Bird)?

At first glance, I thought you had gotten Bird's hair cut short. Then, I realized I am dumb and she just had it pulled back.

We've never seen Swiss Family Treehouse. I've heard its boring. Would you recommend for an 8 year old and a 10 year old?

From that picture, I'm going to guess...whatever that Riverboat is called.

 

[Trentmom]

Liked the Jungle Cruise Pics...I love those jokes, too, corny and alll


Teddy Bear eating that ice cream....is such an adorable pic.....I just wanna squeeze him

Well, the adults like it because of the movie and it is neat to see. My kids like it because it is like a giant treehouse to them. But really it is just a lot of stairs climbing all around the tree. So it all depends on your taste. I can see why some people might find it boring but we like it Really it takes all of 15 minutes to get through so it is a good thing to do while waiting on Fast Passes!

Upnext…Tom Sawyer’s island ! Bird has been asking since we started on this trip… Are we going to that island Ma? Are we going? Huh? Huh? Are we going?

Doesn’t she look happy?

View from the raft…

Paw Paw and Bird exploring…

Playing at the playground…

Peek a boo…

We looked for the paint brushes but didn’t find any.

Every year I try to get a picture of Bird here. We missed it in 2005, but I love to look at these and see how she’s grown.

2003

2007

2008

Look at the line for Haunted Mansion !

Paw Paw looking bored.

I couldn’t get Teddy Bear away from these. He kept trying to shoot the Big Thunder Mountain roller coaster!

View at the fort…

Bird pondering something…

Teddy Bear climbing all over everything…

The Barrel Bridge…

While we are waiting on the raft, I caught these pics:

The next thing you know, we were floating on back.

 

[Marshay]

Oh, what fun pictures!

I esp love looking at your DD's photos over the years in the same spot!! Those pics are simply adorable --- and actually made me tear up a bit, looking at her when she was so young and watching her get bigger!

Your DS holding the gun is a GREAT photo!!!! You can just feel the excitement in the photo.

I always loved the barrell bridges (who doesn't??)

We haven't found a paintbrush either.

Let me also say that your pictures are getting me all excited about our May trip!!!!

Thank you! I get all goose bumpy just looking at them again.

I know. My baby is growing up. Lately, I've been getting a lot of the eye rolling faces. You know what comes next. Puberty

I'm excited for you. I can't wait to see all your pics. Seeing pics of your DD remind me of my DD when she was little.

Don't even get me started!

Anyway... loved the update as usual! We've never gone over to the island! Planned to this last time but... just didn't. But it looks like ya'll had a good time over there.

Who won the checkers match?

I bet your boys would the island. Your DD would be, well,

Actually, no one won as the raft showed up before it was finished.

You are right... any place they can run and climb is the place for them! And yes, Abby would be all !

That reminds me... how often does the raft come and go? I'd hate to feel like I was stuck over there.

 

[Leger13]

great update OB! I love the pictures from Tom Sawyer's! Looks like ya'll had a blast. I can't believe the line for HM!! I guess that's a ride we'll have to hit first thing in the morning from now on.

I love that you take a picture of bird every time you go to WDW in the same spot on Tom Sawyer's Island! What a great idea!!

Anyways, sorry to make this short but it's time for me to leave work and head home.

Catch ya on the flip side!
