Morning!
I enjoyed the pics from Rainforest Cafe. It's great to see Drew in some of them, we usually don't see him.
What a good looking family you have, you should be so proud! They all turned out so well!
I wish we had a RC here, we do have one in Toronto but that's 5 hrs away..... Too far to drive for diner.
Thanks for the safari ride, it's wonderful to see so many beautiful animals.
Wouldn't we all love to have expensive cameras!! BrooklynnsMommy never told us which one she got as a present from DH.
I got my August hours last night, soo excitting!
Have a Tantalizing Thursday!!!![]()
He comes and goes. He's out of town a lot taking pictures at different events and going to those bike competitions. He's very rarely here on weekends.
Yeah, I'd say that's too far to go for a meal. Maybe you could go that way on a weekend trip sometime.
What a wonderful dinner out you guys had! My dad called yesterday asking if there was any way I could get up to weekend. Sadly, it's not going to happen and my mom might be spending Mother's Day without any of her kids.
Doug happened to be walking by the computer when the Animal Safari photos came up and he LOVED them. He told me about each animal and when we got to the end, asked for more.
Hope the end of the year stuff goes well. When is your official last day?
Mother's Day with none of her kids. That's no fun at all. I guess it happens when your kids get grown and spread out all over the country. I know Drew will be gone this weekend, so that's why I'm glad we were able to get together the other day.
I'm glad Doug enjoyed the safari pictures. I wish I had remembered the video camera!!!
We get out the 21st, I believe. Truthfully, I never know what day we get out until the last week. There's so much going on, I don't pay attention to last day information, because I'm so focused on paperwork deadline information. I am on top of things this year, though. I turned in two things today!

Great pictures MeMom! You always get great shots of those animitronic lions. By the way, what was that cheetah up too?![]()
I'm a friend of the CM that controls them. I give them the heads up that I'm coming through, and wham, they have the lions up and running for me!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the cheetah.
Drew seems like he has a really funny sense of humor. The faces he is making are hilarious!I love the safari pictures. I think over the years, my appreciation and fascination for animals just increases. There is just so much to take in with them. We bought a membership to the zoo this year and I'm excited we can go back again and again. Congrats on being close to summer break! We have 15 days total left here. The countdown is on!
Drew is a different kind of kid. What he is into, he is really into, and everything else is pretty much non-existent to him. For whatever reason, he was in a goofy mood, so every time I put the camera up, he did something weird.
I think I am amazed at the animals the older I get, too.
I guess I don't think so much about the end of school since I know I'm going to go pretty much straight into summer school. I'm really looking ahead to July when I can do the fun stuff - church camp and Disney World!
Happy News on the July trip!
Annual pass rates were just released yesterday so I called to see if we would be lucky enough to get any discount. We were hoping for anything since two rooms for 9 nights even $10 would have added up. I was on the phone and the CM put me on hold. I figured she was going to come back and say nothing available at POP but she came back and said our 3 weekend nights are now $84 and our other 6 nights are $74!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MeMom said our original price was $124 a night so the savings is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not exactly sure on the prices for each night, but I do know the AP rate is a good savings. I am quite excited over the new price.
Somehow I missed this TR until now!!! Can't wait to catch up![]()
Well, I'm used to children being tardy at school, so I guess I can handle it here, too.

Congratulations on the AWESOME AP rate!! That is a huge bonus. More spending money for Disney.
For some reason many of the smilies and picture buttons aren't coming through on the DIS - little red X's everywhere!
That's my motto - Every dollar is a Disney dollar!
That is the ones that are leftover after the mortgage dollars, grocery dollars, car payment dollars, utility dollars, etc.
Hi MeMom!
I've had my baby!!! Little Toby Angus Jack XXXXX arrived on Tuesday 5 May at 5.43pm UK time weighing 7lbs 6ozs!
I was going to be induced on Wednesday morning but he decided to come on his own and my contractions started at 12.30-midnight on Monday. Labour was hard and painful and we needed a ventouse delivery to help get him out as his cord was stuck around his neck and his heart rate was dropping but he's here and safe and very gorgeous!!!
Will post you a pic very soon xxxxxxxxxx
That little rascal did come on his own! Good for him!
I'm very excited to know you are over the ocean holding your new little guy. We are all anxious to see him as soon as you can share a picture.
I hope you are feeling well. Take it easy and don't overdo. Let people wait on you and pamper you. I'd be glad to send you a casserole (that's what Americans do when someone has a baby), but it might be no good by the time it flew across the sea!
Toby is a Disney name, you know. There's an old Disney movie called Toby Tyler and Ten Weeks in/at/with the Circus, or something to that effect. I saw it when I was younger. I'd love to have a copy of it, actually. I'm sure it would take me back to when I was a little girl to be able to watch it. I also saw Song of the South in the theater. I wish they would release that one.
I love the Rainforest pictures. The closest one to my house is in Orlando! I think the pictures of Drew are funny and remind me of my DD - she always has some kind of goofy face when I take her picture, like this
![]()
Only she's a ham and tries to get in the pictures even when I'm not expecting it!
Normally Drew prefers being the picture taker, like me. I guess he's forgotten how to act normal in a picture!
You have a cute daughter. Looks like she's a lot of fun!
I really didn't know how many Rainforest restaurants there were in the U.S., but something I saw the other day said they were in 13 states. Some states had more than one.
Congratulations. Welcome Toby! Love the name!
Yep, and did you see, whether she realized it or not, it's a Disney name!
