A Two Short, Too Different Spring Break Trip (Time to Say Goodbye)

[IluvXU]

Oh Jill, how awful for your sweet baby. Did you enjoy the Cincinnati Zoo- we love it there!

 

[micandminforever]

I love surprises, I can't wait to hear about yours.

Jill, I hope that sweet, skinny, little baby arm heals very quickly! It's horrible when they are in pain and don't even understand why....

MeMom, these secretive surprises are driving me nuts.......

Jill, Please post the videos so I can focus on something other than your mother's taunting............

 

[VandyFan10]

We've held out for many months, and I'm not blowing it now!

What, what, WHAT??!!??!!??

You must tell now!!

 

[punkin413]

surprise? what surprise? what did i miss???

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

Hey Mom! Don't you think we should tell them about our surprise? I mean they are our friends. I know we have kept it a secret for a long time, but...







Nah you're right make 'em wait!

Oh Jill, how awful for your sweet baby. Did you enjoy the Cincinnati Zoo- we love it there!

We did enjoy the zoo. We stopped on the way home Sunday just to get out and eat lunch and let Brooklynn walk a bit. We were only there 2 hours but we got to see a lot. It is a really nice zoo. John commented about how it felt Disneyesque to him because of all the workers. They were everywhere!

Since you said please - here is just one of the videos of Brooklynn dancing at the reception.

 

[IluvXU]

Please... I will be gone...

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, Jill! Brooklyn is so cute in her gorgeous dress and her great dance moves!!! How hard was it to convince her to take the dress off after the wedding?

 

[brookelizabeth]

Jill, so sorry to hear about Bella's arm! I hope she is alright...how stressful for you!

Love the video of Brooklynn dancing (and to no music! )...she looked so pretty in her dress!

Mickey balloons are such happy balloons,

except for when they are enclosed in a bubble!

Do you think if you just popped the outside part the inside Mickey head would be free? Or are they somehow attached to each other so if you pop one, the whole balloon would be gone?

The Viking Ship's head looks kinda funny there, it looks defeated with it's tongue hanging out and no "body"!



Okay, now you've got me itchin' too on this surprise....what what what???

 

[Nicole786]

Did someone say surprise????

I love the F&G pics, each time we passed a mickey gnome we went to buy it and than went "we'll come back later" well you know how that goes!

 

[heatherlizz602]

AWWWW!!! Brooklynn looks adorable in her dress...I love her little dance.
I hope baby Bella is doing alot better. Poor thing.

 

[MeMom]

I love all the pictures.
Poor Bella and I am looking forward to seeing pictures of Brooklynn.
I am looking forward to the surprise and to hearing the new title of your upcoming trip.

I have had the image of my screaming little Bella in my head all night. I hated taking my kids to the doctor when I knew there was going to pain involved, and it's no easier when it's a grandchild. And I wasn't even there!

Of course, I should be so tough when it comes to stuff like that, because between Trent and Drew, I almost got a medical degree while waiting in doctors' offices and hospitals!

Thanks for the trip around the world today Memom. I needed a little Disney pick me up!

I miss the viking ship!

I hope you're not feeling down today.
I look at those two sweet little boys of yours and think about the little princess on the way and smile every time I see your picture!

Yeah, it's too bad the ship was deteriorating. They should make another one.

Aww, poor Bella.
You had a very busy trip!
Welcome home.

They stayed busy and had a great time!

Aw, poor Bella.

OMG, I don't like that Mickey balloon either!

See, I knew you would understand!

MeMom, love the other WS pictures! I can't believe how claustrophobic you are! Jeez that must be a pain sometimes

Jill, I hope everything is alright with Bella. That poor little munchkin shouldn't have to go through that!

It is a pain, actually. I can't breathe around snowglobes. All I see is the little characters screaming to be set free from drowning under all that water! It seems funny, I'm sure, or ridiculous, but it is very real. And don't let me see someone going into a cave! I don't scream or let my panic show, but I can't look at pictures or see that on TV or even listen to someone talk about it, or I start silently gasping for breath.


I told Jill that as bad as it was, maybe it was good for the doctor to have to go through this. He just dismissed it earlier, so hopefully he learned from it and will not make another baby or child go through this. I'm sure he didn't delight in making the misdiagnosis or in seeing her go through the pain. We all learn new things and grow wiser with every new experience.

Oh dear, how did I fall so far behind?

LOVE the flower umbrellas!!!
I think the tea plants in the giant cups are such a great idea!
I also love the mickey gnome, I hope they have them again next year for F&G

I missed something...what happened to Bellas arm? It does not sound good but hopefully not something serious!

And...there is a surprise? A secret? HUH?

I vow to not fall this behind again!

I'm guessing real life called!

She had a mysterious lump that we thought was from a bug bite, because she had been outside on Memorial Day. The doctor called it as if it had been there all along, and Jill just took what he said, but still didn't think that sounded right. It didn't make sense to me, but I didn't press the issue either. It got progressively worse, and by the time they were back from Ohio, it was horrible looking. Especially horrible looking on a tiny little baby arm.

There is something developing that has to do with our trip.

I loved seeing your Flower & Garden Festival photos. We were supposed to go to WDW in May, but unfortunately had to cancel. (Well, postpone since we now have a trip booked for late September.) One day I will visit in the spring and see all of those cool topiaries! I also enjoyed your World Showcase photos. We never seem to spend enough time there!

Sorry to to hear about poor little Bella. That sore sounds awful! I hope she heals quickly!

Flower & Garden Festival is worth seeing!

There's so much to see and do in World Showcase that it will take many trips to get it all in. We're working on that, though!

Jill...hope everything goes well for Bella and that it is a minor thing!
saw some pics on facebook of brooklyn this weekend...she looks too darn cute! Hope the rain missed you sat! Sorry this was a busy weekend for all of us or else I would have loved to meet up with you....and to top it all off it was a horrible bacholerette party...but luckily the bacholorette did not notice! Caleb also went to the zoo fri (Toledo Zoo) for the first time. His aunt stephy bravely took him and his 3 cousins (her three) by herself! And he made her carry him all day as he would not sit in the double stroller...no idea why he wouldnt!

Memom...now I am curious about the suprise!

Brooklynn was stylin' in her pretty white dress!

Jill, so sorry to hear about Bella's ordeal today!

MeMom, what is this surprise that everyone is talking about??? I am so confused; I feel like Pooh Bear.

Surprise? Hmmmm, I'll tell you sometime after you start the trip report you are holding hostage!

Oh Jill, how awful for your sweet baby. Did you enjoy the Cincinnati Zoo- we love it there!

They got awesome pictures at all the zoos!

I love surprises, I can't wait to hear about yours.

We'll tell you and show you this weekend.

Jill, I hope that sweet, skinny, little baby arm heals very quickly! It's horrible when they are in pain and don't even understand why....

MeMom, these secretive surprises are driving me nuts.......

Jill, Please post the videos so I can focus on something other than your mother's taunting............

I thought your husband said you were already nuts!

What, what, WHAT??!!??!!??

You must tell now!!

The hippo will tell you.


More later.
Some teachers who want to go to Disney World have to work in the summer.
Have a good day, all!

 

[reelmom]

I hope that Bella's arm is doing better. Does Brooklynn still call her Bellarie?
I can't wait for the surprise.

 

[brookelizabeth]

I was thinking about your surprise last night and came up with 2 theories...

1) You are staying at the WL for your NYE trip.
2) Jill and John bought DVC and you are staying a the VILLAS at WL for your NYE trip....

Am I close?
