Big Family Fun.....Hopefully!

Hi! I just found this. Almost time for you now!
We just got back last month from our trip at CBR with dd 5 3/4 and ds 2. It was a great resort for kids!
There are laundry facilities at each of the quiet pools. It's very easy to do a load without losing out on fun time!
We didn't go back for rest time, yet still changed the kids mid day at least half of the time. They got wet or messy or just sweaty. Other than some dresses, I packed enough bottoms for everyday plus 1 or 2, and them two shirts for every bottom. That way I didnt have the same outfits in every picture but still lightened the suitcase. I did two small loads total between the 4 of us in the middle of the trip- just bottoms and anything that needed to be washed for stains.
I agree, rapunzel's line is crazy. There were times that it backed up almost to the Sir Mickey shop and we were not there at a busy time. When we went to see her, we had a pre park opening ADR. I left the ADR just in time to be ahead of the rope drop crowd. I was not the only one with this idea, and very few of those running at rope drop made it into the first show. It was crazy how busy she is.
Looking forward to reading about your trip. It's always fun to see how different kids at the same age can be!

:welcome: Glad to have you along! So far, I've only packed the kids clothes. I put 11 outfits each plus the one they will wear when we leave, so hopefully that will work for us! Now packing for DH and I will be a little more tricky as we don't have as many summer clothes as the kids. Oh well, I see :laundy: in my future!
 
:dance3: 2 weeks!!! :dance3:

And a busy 2 weeks at that! This weekend is the 4th of July holiday with everyone coming to our house for a cookout. Next weekend is Owen's 3rd birthday! Can't believe my baby is going to be 3! Sniff, sniff!
 
Happy 4th of July!

Hope you had a wonderful 4th! DH and I directed a 5K/10K race this morning and then had Ben's family over for swimming and a cookout. The kids loved swimming in the little pool. They had a blast! We also celebrated Owen's birthday which is next weekend. I made a red, white, and blue firecracker cake and it turned out really well!

Have a great week!
 

One more week.....just 7 more days!!!!

I have started packing the kids stuff, but I need to get serious about our stuff and anything we might still need to pick up before we leave!

Been busy packing and gathering last minute things and doing laundry. Then last night our A/C goes out. :headache: Why do these things happen right before we leave on vacation?

But on a happier note:


Happy 3rd birthday Owen!
 
Luckily the A/C got fixed for less than I figured it would be! :cheer2: So now it starting to cool down a bit. It will take awhile because it was almost 90 in the house. And that was with windows open and all the fans going full speed!

Now onto packing! Kids are done just finishing Ben and I 's. Hoping I don't forget anything....


4 more days! :woohoo:

I'm glad you got the AC fixed. :thumbsup2
We're supposed to have another 110 heat index day here, I think.

Happy Birthday to the big boy! This will be a huge growing year from 3 to 4.

Happy packing, too! It's almost time to go! :dance3:
 
Yeah for the a/c not costing a lot to fix!!!:thumbsup2

Hope DH is feeling better...

3 more days!!! :cool1:

DH is feeling better....luckily it was mostly just a weekend thing and I think due to stress. His work has been crazy because they are getting ready for show this weekend.

Loving the A/C it was a miserable 2 days without it. I keep looking at Owen and wondering what happened to my baby, because I have a kid staring back at me! Need to get back to packing....I think I am packing too much....I tend to over pack! :rolleyes1
 
Happy 3rd birthday Owen!
Also glad to hear you got your AC fixed. You could always send some of your heat up here if it happens again. We're having the worst summer ever. Today it's only 17 degrees. (62f!)
Only 3 days to go!! Very exciting!
 
We are packed and mostly ready to go save for the last few things we will use tomorrow morning! :woohoo: We have 4 suitcases and 4 carry-on's...think that is too much? :rolleyes1 I will say the kids' suitcase's are smaller...but still I probably over packed. I always do! I keep telling my self it's ok we'll be gone for 2 weeks! :rotfl:

Down to less than 24 hours before we leave... :dance3:

We take Daisy to her doggie vacation today....I don't think she is quite as happy to go as we are. But hoping she still has fun. We are taking her to a new place that a friends of ours opened and the dogs stay in their house and not in cages, so hopefully she will be happier with that.

We will pack the truck tonight so we are ready to roll in the morning. Our goal is to leave the house by 8:00.

I will be doing fb updates if your interested!

 
We are packed, car is loaded, and we are ready to roll! Just 10 more hours before we leave! :cool1: Hoping I can get a little sleep tonight! See ya' real soon! :mickeyjum
 
Have a fun trip!!! And I can't wait to read the TR...popcorn::

I'm really homesick for Disney right now and there are no trips on my radar until at least 2012... :sad2:

So I need to get my Disney Magic thru wonderful people like you!!! :wizard:
 
We're HOME! We had a wonderful (mostly) 2 weeks, but are glad to see our Daisy and sleep in our own beds tonight. Give me a couple days to catch up and do lots of :laundy: and then I will get the TR started!
