This great! Thanks for all of the pix.

Wow the last couple of weeks have been a whirl wind of activity.

My Mom is on the mend, TinkerBoo graduated last week from Cal State Long Beach...Go Dirtbags, and on top of that I am just getting old

Things are now back to some normalcy, so I can get back to the important stuff like the DIS Boards.

Thanks to everyone that has been reading and leaving comments, I though it was time for a new installment so here we go.

So we find ourselves with Bootstrap spending the night with us. His mother wasn’t feeling very well, she had a brain scan and it showed nothing…no I mean it showed NOTHING…just kidding Nugget.

She was under the weather and so being the cool cousin TinkerBoo is she invited Bootstrap to spend the night with us so Nugget could get some much needed rest.

So what else is there to do put head for Disneyland for the evening and when Bootstrap was asked what he wanted to do he said he wanted to go over to the recently reopened Tom Sawyer’s Island….Oooppps, I mean the newly opened Pirate’s Lair, so off we went.

So sit back and swill your grog (prevents Scurvy Ya know) and enjoy a small pictorial tour of the Island taken over by Pirates.

We arrived at the lair at about 6:30 p.m. and a Cast Member told me that all the Pirates had gone home for the evening, but that there was still lots to do.

So we boarded our raft and off we went

Here is another raft of Victims loading up for the crossing

Once we docked we head to the right and we found Lafitte’s Tavern and the area were some shows are presented through out the day.

And you may just find a snarling Pirate guarding the chest

As you move on around the Island you come across the Black Smith shop

Don’t think I have ever heard of a Black Smith Shop having a Mill Stone,

Tied outside the Shop on the river is a boat in need of repair

The area is dotted with Water Falls

And we will end this first installment with a very important building

Ye Old House of Relief

And all this time I thought that ONE grape was preventing the scurvy. Now I know it was the gallons of wine and whiskey. Who knew?!?!?

Glad to hear about your mom. Made me wonder if my mom was still alive...

We've been REAL busy also. We've been renting every single season of Survivor from Netflix that we can get our hands on. It's been a whirlwind of non-activity and self indulgence. I make a big ol' plate of nachos, sit in front of the TV for hours, and just stare at the screen like an idiot. It's been great.

However, all good things must come to an end. We finished up Survivor: Palau and there are no more to rent. Oh well, guess we'll head outside and maybe mow the lawn.

Thanks, Goofster! That was fun!

Glad you enjoyed it, I hope to post some more today if they leave me alone at work.

She is, I’m ready for the Loony Bin

We’ve been doing the House series ourselves and when that’s done Sorceress wants to watch all of the 24 series.

Oh well, guess we'll head outside and maybe mow the lawn.

You had better get Linnie busy , if the rest of the women find out your letting here slack off they will all want to slack off.

Ohh! Good point. I'll go crack the whip!

 

[Goofster57]

Here are some random shots we took while walking around the island

There are caves all over the place

Some are closed off due to the DANGER inside

At the fair end of the island is a pile of booty to take your picture with

There have been a number of changes over at the small lagoon that has the barrel bridge and the ever popular suspension rope bridge.

If you turn this wheel

You raise this fellow

You can use the ships pumps to revel some Pirate Booty

If you aren’t a good Pirate you could end up in trouble

Next up is Tom and Hucks Tree House and a ship that ran aground for exploring

 

[blue_river]

Finally - a new post!!!!!!!!!!



I don't have time this afternoon but I'll catch up this evening or tomorrow morning


BTW - We're having DUCK on Saturday

[KatGarcia]

Awesome pics, as always...i'm hyped to see this stuff for myself...only 10 days...10 long drawn out will-they-ever-end days!!! We are going to see Pirates again tomorrow (yep I liked it that much). Thanks for the fun pics!

 

[blue_river]

My Mom is on the mend

Very good news

TinkerBoo graduated last week from Cal State Long Beach...

Woohoo!! Congratulations Tinkerboo!!!!!!!!

on top of that I am just getting old

You're just realizing that now???

Things are now back to some normalcy, so I can get back to the important stuff like the DIS Boards.

Zackly! Where are your priorities Goofster????????

So we find ourselves with Bootstrap spending the night with us. His mother wasn’t feeling very well, she had a brain scan and it showed nothing…no I mean it showed NOTHING…just kidding Nugget.

How do they put up with you?

I mean the newly opened Pirate’s Lair, so off we went.

Are they doing this at WDW too?

And you may just find a snarling Pirate guarding the chest

awww......such a cutie

And we will end this first installment with a very important building

I'm sure Linnie appreciates this one


Okay.....I'm heading over to the next post....

I think you're pretty safe then Buzz

ummmmm....renting movies, binging and turning into couch potatoes DOES not count as being BUSY

Glad to see you've both been relaxing though and giving Linnie a break from work

We’ve been doing the House series ourselves and when that’s done Sorceress wants to watch all of the 24 series.

We got caught up with House this past year and enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind seeing the past episodes.

24 is great too. It's very fast paced, full of action and drama - leaves you with no time to get up and fix yourself a drink or snack - renting is the way to go!

You had better get Linnie busy , if the rest of the women find out your letting here slack off they will all want to slack off.

HEY!!

I see the garage in your future.......

 

[blue_river]

Okay.....caught up

I LOVED this installment of Pirates Lair

The pictures were great and it's making me excited to get back to the World.

Less than 3 months for us

 

[Goofster57]

Okay, up we go to the Tree House

And the view once you get to the top

These things are in the Tree House the one on the left is a sort of Spy Glass to look through and the one on the right you put your eyes up to the Pirates eyes and you can spy on the other Pirates that might be standing outside planning a Mutiny.

Here is Bootstrap doing some spying

And here is the way down

In the middle of the Island are parts of a wrecked ship that has been turned into a shelter for the marooned Pirates

Next installment we will go on the ship and a few pictures of other random things in the Pirate’s Lair

Thanks for stopping by mateys

Hey Kat,
Thanks for stopping by.

You are getting really close to your trip...can you smell the Churros?

 

[Goofster57]

You're just realizing that now???

Yeah, I can be a little slow sometimes

How do they put up with you?

That’s easy; I am the best Brother-in-law and Uncle in the world

Are they doing this at WDW too?

Not that I know of

I think you're pretty safe then Buzz

24 is great too. It's very fast paced, full of action and drama - leaves you with no time to get up and fix yourself a drink or snack - renting is the way to go!

We have been enjoying it; we usually watch a disk a weekend which usually has four episodes on it.

I see the garage in your future

You could get a job on that Psychic Network Line

I LOVED this installment of Pirates Lair
The pictures were great and it's making me excited to get back to the World.

Glad you are enjoying them

You need to come out to California to see the “Original”

We have plenty of “Wild Life” for the girls, well most of it is the two legged type and I defiantly wouldn’t let them feed them.

Okay, up we go to the Tree House

This really is a neat TR especially for those of us who have never been!

Thanks for taking the time to post all these pictures Goofster.

Ya think? Let's try it out......

*looking into my crystal ball*

I see you at work, sitting at your desk with the door closed...

Hmm....I also see you are on your computer

*crystall ball is fogging up - waiting for it to clear*

Ahhhh yes, I also see you are on the DIS boards

How'd I do??????

You need to come out to California to see the “Original”

Funny you should say that. DH and I were talking on the weekend and I happened to mention going back to WDW NEXT year (you know...get a feel...see if I can sway him for a third year in a row)

and he said something like "ya? again?" with a scrunched up kinda face indicating he wasn't really interested.

Then I said "Well.......we could go to Disneyland!!!!!!!!"

He seemed to show a tiny bit of interest in that

Maybe we could switch places for a week Goofster. We'll stay at your house and you guys can stay at our place (kind of like time sharing but without having to pay)

We have plenty of “Wild Life” for the girls, well most of it is the two legged type and I defiantly wouldn’t let them feed them.

I'm not even going to ask!

 

[blue_river]

I forgot to add something to my last post.











Congrats to the Ducks

 

[serendipity]

A'hoy Mate! Just got all caught up. I love all the pictures of Pirate's Lair. We've actually never made it to Tom Sawyer's Island or obviously the Lair so it was fun to see everything. We'll have to make sure to check it out next time! Looking forward to more!

It's no Disney World, but I know you guys would enjoy it.

I don't know, after seeing pictures of your backyard you'd never get rid of us.
