All I Want For Christmas Is an Okapi, a Dinosaur, a Herd of Elephants and ...

By the way, how did it all turn out with the parent incident?

You are a few pages behind, friend.
It was an exciting ending.


Not.


********************************************


Let's see how Photobucket treats me today.

Still in Magic Kingdom.

I got a quick picture of part of Winnie and Tigger while the doors were opened.

Another castle show was going on. Bella loves the castle show. She wants to watch it on youtube all the time.

I was standing on the opposite side of the hub, so this is what I got.

Astro Orbiter from the ground, since I didn't get the ground from Astro Orbiter. :sad2:

Popsicles are extra good in Walt Disney World, aren't they?

I'm in love with your parade pics!
Isn't it funny that we know that we have taken pictures of the same parade on countless occasions but it's always so exciting that we have to get our cameras out and capture the moment!

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that does that....:goodvibes

I was just over at Jackie's place discussing the 3rd. Go and put your two cents worth in when you get a chance.

We enjoy parades. I love seeing the girls smile, and it is fun to see many characters in one place in a short time. :thumbsup2
 

Brooklynn looks so grown-up in her graduation cap and gown and at her recital!! What a busy day for her!

Another beautiful MK morning :cloud9:. I love watching Disney shows on youtube, the castle show is a fun one!
 
We will be there midday the 23rd. Where and when can we cross paths?
I'm going to try this quote thing again. :laughing: We are planning on MK on the 24th, DHS on the 25th, and maybe Epcot on the 26th. My DH is FINALLY getting in on this whole DIS community and DIS facebook thing. He saw that I was on the June Dis facebook page and thought how cool it would be if there was someone from Toledo that was going to be there the same time we were. I explained that that's how the DIS works too! It's nice to be able to know that there are others in the world who share my excitement about a Disney vacation. You take some of the best parade pics that I have seen, and of course your shopping pictures. ;) I hope your last week of school is uneventful.
 
Hey, guys!!! They are showing some Disney stuff on America's Funniest Home video's!!!

Bella's face watching the parade is pure joy - One look at a face like that on one of our little ones, makes it worth any price we pay to take a Disney vacation. Thanks for sharing another fine Disney morning. :thumbsup2

Hope you have a great last week of school.:banana:
 
Awesome parade pictures! I have to watch the castle show all the way through at some point, too.

Hope you have an uneventful last week of school! Almost there! :goodvibes
 
Hi Memom and gang. It's been a while, but I have kept up with you. I can't believe it's still Christmas around here.;) Only 5 weeks til your next adventure?!?!?!? We are going in December. My cousin is taking her 4 and 2 year old for the first time. She is a single mom going to school and taking care of the kids by herself.(with help from her friends, family) She will be finished with school in Dec. and we are going to celebrate! By the way, she too is going to be a teacher. :scared1: I can't wait to see WDW through the kids eyes for their first time.

Congratulations on Sophie. I know she will be beautiful just like her sisters. Is John OK with a house full of girls? My brother has 4 girls so he knows what it's like. He has beautiful girls too.
 
I cannot believe how grown up Brooklynn looks in her graduation outfit!:goodvibes But she looks gorgeous and I bet she will be an amazing pre-first student!:thumbsup2 She certainly is a focused ballerina too! And cute to boot!

I love parades and it's fun to watch them vicariously with you and the family! My neice (she's 5) and I watched Wishes together last weekend while I was visiting in Indiana and she loves it just as much as her auntie does! I cannot wait to see the kids' faces at all of the parades too! Not to wish away the summer but I cannot wait until October!:rolleyes1
 
Brooklynn looks all grown up with her cap & gown!! Congrats to Brooklynn!

Wow she really was concentrating on her dancing. Very cute.

Good luck with your last week of school.
 
I was a couple pages behind. Glad no one went to jail over that incident. :rolleyes2:rolleyes2:rolleyes2 Ugh.

Wonderful parade pictures! And congratulations once again to Brooklynn! What a big couple days she had!!

She had a fun and busy weekend. Dance is over now, and I think she is switching to acrobatics in the fall.

We youtube Disney surprise trips, Magic Kingdom opening, shows, rides, etc. Some are really good and make us long to be there now!

I'm giving this information to Jill. I think Hollywood would be a pretty easy place to plan a meet, so maybe we'll try to do it there.

Uneventful. Hmmmm.....I had two boys get suspended today for fighting in the cafeteria. How is that for a way to end your last week of school???

I missed it. :sad:

Those smiles are why I continue to spend my hard-earned dollars.

Yes, you should. It has a cute storyline. It is sweet when the Princesses are dancing with their favorites, and especially when Mickey tells Minnie she has always been a princess to him. :lovestruc

2 1/2 days with kids! :cool1:

You know it's Christmas until spring and fall all through summer around here! :laughing:

I hope your cousin has a blast! As a single mom who raised three, I am so excited that she is getting to do this.

John just brings in the paycheck. Jill does the running of the house. I think he may be a bit relieved that it is a girl, to be honest, so thst he didn't have to take on a bunch of extra 'guy time' duties.

Don't you think there should be a trip per season rule? :scratchin That way, you are never too far away from talking about the past trip and planning the new trip! ::yes::

I think Brooklynn will be an awesome reader by this time next year. It's getting more difficult to spell things around her without her figuring it out. ;) And she is a super-duper Math girl!



She must get that from her grandmother. :goodvibes

Perhaps I am guilty of introducing her to youtube. :wave2:

She is quite the big girl these days. I can't wait to spend time with her in July. :goodvibes



A great way to start a holiday Monday, excellent parade pictures.

So glad you liked it, Pops! :)
What kind of Disney plans are you working on these days?

The bad thing is, if both moms had shown up, someone could easily have gone to jail. I wouldn't have wanted to been anywhere around if they had both been mouthing like they can do.
 
Still more of Magic Kingdom.

A little horsie time.

Brooklynn tried with all her might, but it just didn't happen for her.

IMG_8326.jpg


It didn't happen for Bella, either.

IMG_8327.jpg


Uh oh, she's in shopping mode!

IMG_8328.jpg


Disney transportation.

IMG_8329.jpg


Lots of people going into the park.

IMG_8330.jpg


New Year's Eve afternoon swimming.

I sent some of you a 'view from where I sit' picture.

IMG_8334.jpg

Trent and Jarvis came over for swim time.

What kind of Disney plans are you working on these days?

Just the cruise. Two trips plus a cruise in the last 18 months have slowed us down. We still might get in a day at the end of our crusie next March.

I am intrigued by the cruises, because everyone always praises them, but I would have to have the bog bucks to get the super large cabin with lots of balcony space. I know I would enjoy all of the food and the shows. :thumbsup2


**************************************************


After swimming, I think the girls went to take a nap, and Trent and Jarvis may have gone to workout. Or maybe they went to shop out in Orlando. I can't remember, really. I went to get some Art of Animation pictures.

On my way back to the room.

Time to go back out into the Disney crowds.
Downtown Disney was our destination.

If you are in the mood for sweets, this is the place to go.

IMG_8353.jpg

IMG_8356.jpg


These are some of my favorite treats - a little salty mixed with the sweet.

I am so glad you had a nice New Years Afternoon instead of the drama I had.
:lmao:
