An APRIL Adventure in Autism: 2008 (8/8) Time to Say Good-Bye....

[jordanyosh]

... it seemed like a very good plan, indeed!

Yikes

 

[eandesmom]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! I'm all caught up finally!

What a wonderful update. You completely crack me up. Your patience and persistence getting the "mice" and then trepidation about driving one!

Impressive!

So very sad about Tricia's hat.

And Billy and Captain Jack. What a magical magical moment. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful moment! The little moments are everything, in any trip I think and your little moments are so much bigger than I'm sure I can even begin to imagine.

A lovely close to my evening of catching up on DIS!

Great update Kathy! You had good material to work with! I have to admit that my eyes did tear up a little bit.

Now... Don't fall off your chairs or anything....


I am so proud that I finally learned how to post links to my TR posts in the first page!!

Woo-Hoo!! Be sure to tell all your friends and neighbors!!


(Okay, that was a bit over the top.... but I've been wanting to sit down and figure that out for a long time!) Had a bit 'o trouble with AOL, but I finally got it down!! And it only took me an hour or so!!


Have a great evening everybody... we're off to see the movie UP!!

You'll have to let us know what your review after the movie. I think we aren't going for another couple of weeks.

Have fun seeing UP!

I would've seen it today, but I had recital pictures

But, mom and I are probably seeing it on Saturday this week

(P.S. TR updated!)

Yay for the links!! I finally figured it out for my current TR - now I just have to remember to go back and post the links after I post my updates.

I hope you enjoyed UP!

 

[KathyRN137]

Up was fantastic!! way up!!

I don't want to give anything away, but there were parts that made Tricia and I sniffle and there were parts that were really laugh-out-loud funny!

Billy loved it!

But he won't call the main character "Carl," he insists on calling him "Mr Fredrickson" just like Russel!!

Kathy,
I just loved reading about your Captain Jack meet & greet .. It made me teary eyed too that Billy seemed to like meeting him as well. Also for learning to post the links for each of your updates. I still don't know how to do that. I want to take the kids to see Up this week.

 

[KathyRN137]

I love this pic. You said your daughter is growing up and sights like that will become more and more infrequent......ahhhh childhood

I love that u did this and the family looks soo happy.

I'll be lucky if she walks within ten feet of me this year!!

And Billy and Captain Jack. What a magical magical moment. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful moment! The little moments are everything, in any trip I think and your little moments are so much bigger than I'm sure I can even begin to imagine.

Aww, thanks so much!!
I just love to share all that incredibly real Disney Magic!!!

Great update Kathy! You had good material to work with! I have to admit that my eyes did tear up a little bit.

I knew a Jack Sparrow update would be a hit!!

You will all love Up, I just know it!!

I figured out how to do the links; just couldn't quite get the "formula" for re-naming them. Oh well, it works fine the way it is!!

You'll love it! It will make you laugh so hard! (But, bring your tissues, too!!)

Can't wait to see UP!

All the young adults from church went to see it this afternoon. I went to a picnic with about 30 of my family members.

I knew you would like it!! I am wanting to go see it again this week, it was just amazing to me. So heartwarming, touching, and funny. I love that Billy calls him Mr. Fredrickson .

 

[KathyRN137]

It truly was the best movie I've seen in a long time!!!

We took Aunt Rae (age 78) and she loved it too!!

Here is a link to some photos of the new Up character meet and greet in the Animation building at DS:

How is Aunt Rae?

 

[maroo]

I am all caught up!!!!

Boy...I should not take a week off of the DIS! It is quite hard to catch up!

I love the Capt Jack meet and greet! Sounds really cool and pretty sad that they don't do that party anymore?

 

[KathyRN137]

I love that Billy calls him Mr. Fredrickson .

I think its so cute, too! Tricia told him that his name was Carl, but Billy shook his head and said, no, that he was Mr. Fredrickson!!!

Tricia wishes she could get a collar for Aimee like the one Dug wore!!!

[KathyRN137]

How is Aunt Rae?

Thank you for asking, Jordan!

Aunt Rae has recovered from the fall she had last summer, but she still likes to hold onto someone when going up and down a curb and, certainly, when going up and down stairs.

She has told us that she realizes she can no longer get around like she used to, and that she doesn't think she can handle a big trip like WDW any more...

(Not me... when I'm 78 I'm gonna stick my behind on one of those scooters or get one of my grandkids to push around me in a wheelchair, 'cuz I am never gonna get too old for Disney if I can possibly help it!!!)

Do you hear that, Lord???

Thank you.

I know!! Ah well, I read that it was either cut some of the extras like the P&P Parties or reduce park hours, and Disney felt they'd rather cut the extras because guests would not respond kindly to limited park hours, given the cost of tickets.

I learned how to post chapter links on page one, so in the future, it should be easier to catch up!! Welcome back!!

Great update! It's always fun to hear about Billy's "magical moments!" Links in the first page...I'm impressed! I'm still trying to figure out how to post pics (I opened up a Photobucket account, but now I can't figure out how to get my pics from Adobe Photoshop or Shutterfly into Photobucket ). Maybe this summer I'll have time to figure it out.

Hoping to see Up soon. DH says he has no interest in seeing it, though. I'll have to try to convince him. Everybody says what a great movie it is, so I think he'd enjoy it. We'll see...
