The Pirates League experience looks amazing. I'm glad your DD had such a good time with it. And got a cool pirate name.


I can't believe your DS couldn't find anything he wanted to eat at BoG. I love that lunch menu. It is a nice change of pace from the typical QS stuff.

I'm glad you were able to spend more time at the pool and go eat at Beaches and Cream. You're really making me want to blow our budget and stay at Beach Club next year.

It was a very enjoyable experience. Lots more fun the BBB, I think.

Eh, it was just OK for us. What I got was really good, but it might be a while before we go back.

Rent DVC points !!! I swear it is almost HALF what Disney charges you. We did it before we bought in to DVC, and we really had a great experience. Let me know if you have questions !!

I want a Pina Colava! It looks so pretty. Sad that it was disappointing.

Okay, thanks a lot! Now I want Beaches and Cream like nobody's business! The No Way Jose is just calling my name......

It might not be disappointing to you if you love coconut flavory thingys. IT just isn't a favorite of mine and I was hoping the raspberry would kind of even things out for me, but you couldn't even taste the raspberry. So don't not get one on my account.

I love that place. We always split the Milky Way sundae. It is out of this world good !! I bet the No Way Jose would be good, too. But DD is allergic to nuts, so we always try not to order those kinds of things when she is with us.

All caught up. I was busy the last couple of weeks doing a photobook for a friend and needed a real diversion tonight. My granddaughter is in the hospital and it's the most helpless feeling in the world.

What I can remember. I did the Afternoon Tea a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I did get the best coffee though. I don't really like hot tea,

Did BOG in April for lunch and really enjoyed it. That bridge does get warm though.

I really want to try Beaches and Cream one day and get the kitchen sink. Figure I'll do it when my grandson is with us. That boy can eat.

Your daughter made a cute pirate. Loved your son's hat. As a mother who survived 3 teens it's a battle not worth fighting. Kids like to be ornery to be different.

Looking forward to the rest of the trip.

I saw your post on Facebook. I hope she will be OK. Keep us posted. Please know that I am thinking about you and praying for your family.

We loved the whole experience. Would love to do it again !!

It was good, but not great to us. I think we will wait a while before we try it again.

That Kitchen Sink is insane. You will need to have a posse with you if you mean to finish it !!

There is this endless struggle to stand out and be special, but they want to be normal too, so no one picks on them. I keep trying to explain that you can't have it both ways. Embrace one or the other and be that person. It is all about discovery an identity. And I know there are worse phases than wearing a stupid hat. I DID get him to start wearing a belt and pull his pants up though.

Looking forward to the rest of the trip.

Just one more day ....

DD really loves her mac and cheese, doesn't she?

I have heard the burgers at Beaches N Cream are amazing, but I have to say those onion rings look pretty darn good, too! And that sundae. YUM! I have yet to eat there and I really hope I can correct that in October. Finally!

Great pictures of SAB. It looks like so much fun.

And what a great way to close out the evening!

Thanks Susan. I am just so worried about what happens if the meds don't work, what are the long and short term issues after this is resolved, that type of thing. Really appreciate all the prayers.

To be fair with BOG I had onion soup and a dessert so not much to base it on. Am going to try more when I go with my DH in a couple of months. That could change my mind.

The kitchen sink should be easy with a 15 year old bottomless pit. The boy is ALWAYS hungry.

My son went through a phase at about your sons age. He grew the hair on the TOP of his head long, not the sides. He also wore a Grinch t-shirt constantly, the SAME shirt. I had to pry it off of him to launder it. That was his middle school graduation pic. Long hair and the Grinch. When my grandson went through a really long hair phase I pulled the pic out. He left my grandson alone after that.

Congrats on the belt and pulling up the pants. That is a huge accomplishment at this age.

She does. It is one of the few things she will eat. She is super picky. My mom just laughs at me and says payback is hell. Perhaps she will grow out of it like I did.

The food there is good. The ice cream concoctions are amazing !!

It really was. The best resort pool on Disney property.

And what a great way to close out the evening!

It was nice. We had a really great spot !!

Keep me posted. Also, how is the ankle?? Still heading towards surgery ??

That would be a good lunch, I think. It was just sooo hot that day and the food was so heavy. I would have been great on a cooler day.

Well, I would like to see him try .....

Yes. It is definitely a "choose your battle" kind of thing.

I told him where that "style" originated - which was in prison. When the prisoners dressed like that, it was to send a message to others that they were "ready for love" so to speak. I asked him if that was the message he was sending. So - yeah - he wears a belt now - haha.

I will do an update in a couple of days, so don't leave me !! My cousin is getting married and I promised to make her a quilt. I am almost done with it so I am using all my spare time to get it done and sent off to her. Here's a photo of the quilt top before quilting.

Love the quilt! Very pretty!

Hopefully your cousin wasn't impacted by the flooding.

He home wasn't but her wedding venue was. She had to change locations a reroute all of her guests to another hotel - 3 weeks ago. She's a champ - did it with style and smile. I wish I could go, but I can't get the time off work right now.

Bless her heart! I went up to Estes Park on the first day they got HWY 7 open and EP was digging out. Just as they are starting to get cleaned up from the flooding, the government shutdown closed Rocky Mountain National Park during prime Elk bugling season which is probably going to kill some of the small businesses up there.

Beautiful quilt! That's quite a talent you have!

I have a coworker who quilts. She takes time off to attend quilting conventions. Have you ever been to one of those?
