Any one on 7-29-06 / 7 Night Western!!!! Is Back

[kennygee]

How exciting to watch your son play ball at the college level! What team does your son play on?

We will also be at WDW before the cruise, probably arriving late on the 26th. We'd love to meet some of you if we can work it out.

Marci,

Where will you be staying? Your kids are the perfect age to introduce to ours.

We'll be at the GF, but I'm happy to try to meet at the Beach Club, one of the parks or a restaurant -- whatever works.

That sounds like a good idea. Let's plan something as we get closer. Maybe we could have sort of a pre cruise party or something like that. Let the kids get to know each other.

Let's definitely plan that as we get closer!

Any reason for a good party. I really like the BCV pool. Lots to do for the kids. Anyone else have any ideas?

Hey guys,

Just curious, this board is pretty quiet. Is there another thread for this cruise that I don't know about?

If there is I am in the dark to. It is getting closer and closer. I am getting so excited. Now I have to start my search for air fare.

 

[marcij]

Hi, Ken. I don't think so. I think it's just a little slow getting started. Hopefully we'll have more join our group soon. I was looking at some of the threads for trips around ours, and most aren't any more active than this one. I think after I get past my kids' spring break, I'll focus more on the cruise, although I am currently brainstorming on t-shirt ideas, door signs and autograph books.....

 

[jmatias]

Yes...I'm sure as we get closer things will pick up. We also have a trip planned for spring break so need to work on that first then I can focus all my enery on our cruise

 

[wltdsnyfan]

I am going away for spring break to. I am busy planing that for my family and the baseball teams familys. I am the one that is in charge of the letting the parents of the players know what is going on. My spring break starts on February 25th to Port Charlotte, Florida. When is everyone else’s? Also, the weekend of March 10th, 11th and 12th we will be in St. Louis. It is a busy time right now. Once that is over I will be deciding what is on my door sign and everything else that goes with the cruise.

What is everyone else doing on his or her spring break trips?

 

[marcij]

Sounds like you really have your hands full!

We are going skiing in Lake Tahoe leaving in the afternoon on March 10th, and flying back on March 15th. I'll probably work 1/2 days on Thursday and Friday of that week so I don't get too far behind at work but can still have fun with my kids. The week of March 12 - 16 is a big spring break week for a lot of Texas schools and colleges.

Any others with Spring Break plans?

 

[kennygee]

We're heading to BCV during our spring break (4/13 - 4/23)...can't wait. We went there last year during spring break and although the parks were incredibly crowded, the resort was great.

We too are starting to get ready for baseball. It's snowing like crazy here right now so it's hard to think about baseball, but we have an indoor batting cage facility near us which we use often.

Since we are lucky to have great weather year round we are in pre season baseball already with the season starting end of Feb.

For spring break we are going to Scottsdale to watch the Giants spring training games and then we head to Tahoe for some skiing ( first time )

The boys are really looking forward to the snow...since we don't get any here.

No Snow - that would be lovely I hate the stuff!

I am really looking forward to the cruise and my trip to USA. Its the highlight of my year!

I have resisted the urge to start my planner - so far

Only thing I have done is booked 2 adrs for Ohana and planet hollywood before the cruise.

The weather is really cold here at the mo -1, how I long to be on the warm ship

I know I want to do the galley tour but the main thing is to relax and de stress!

Hi! I wish baseball could be played year round here. The only thing for me now is Spring ball in College. It is still cold when we play. We are done by May. That is why I am looking forward to FL, I hope it is a little warmer there. Right now by me it is 29.
Have fun watching the spring traning. I have always wanted to do that.
How cloase was the Hawaii team that went to Little League World Series? I love watching it.

We've been going to Tahoe for over 10 years now, so If you want any info, pm me.

They are having another good season this year -- lots of fresh powder!

We have had such a mild winter that we could have played baseball year round! Saturday is my oldest son's last basketball game, and there is a baseball clinic that afternoon. The draft is Feb. 28th, practice starts the next week, with games beginning after April 1st. Both boys take batting lessons once a week from a local coach, and my oldest also has pitching lessons. My dad built his grandchildren a batting cage last spring -- concrete, but no roof, with lights for night. It's a basball throw away from our house -- very convenient! I have to admit, though, that both kids excel more in soccer which is played in the fall and spring because they are both fast as the wind, then they do in baseball. They are both making a lot of improvement in baseball, so maybe this will be their year to shine in that sport.

Sound like a lot of fun trips are planned!

Marci!
That is cool. A batting cage in your backyard. My son would have loved that.

Yes, it is cool and my parents do spoil my kids. I sometimes get out there and hit balls, too. My husband did help build it -- helped put up the nets and lights -- it was being built right around the time my husband was laid off. (Thankfully, he found another job within a month.)

Now, I wish there was something we could build to catch for my son when he pitches. My husband is often late getting home from work during the week, and although I'm an okay catcher, my son is beginning to throw too fast for me to do a very good job without hurting myself.
