Divas, Zebra Domes, and Pixie Dust! A Week in an African Paradise! New TR Link Pg.145

[TarzansKat]

Okay, first and foremost, where are my pictures of POTC?

Don't get me wrong, I love the Haunted Mansion, but come on? No shout out for your dear pirate obsessed friend?

Now that we got that over with, I am so with Connor. I am not fond of the children's menus at all. It's one of my biggest pet peeves about the meal plan. Because we go during free dining, I feel like I need to buck up and deal with it, but because of the lack of choice and ultimate redundancy among the restaurants, I often wonder, if we go not during free dining, would we actually pay for that for our child. I don't know. It's a good deal in the world of table service if you're at buffets where they can opt to eat the adult food, but other than that...meh. So, I completely understand the dry retching, even though that was really about the fish and not the uncrustable.

It looks like you had a really nice night with the kiddos. Crisis averted, parenting skills full steam ahead!

And who knew you had a little zebra dome fan on your hands?

 

[brookelizabeth]

Oh poor Connor! And poor you in that moment! Sure makes for a good TR though.

The kids' menus do stink at WDW - every once in a while you find something good/unique, but in general it's the same thing over and over again. I'm sure many parents face similar dilemas when their children are near the cut-off age.

The pictures of the kids on the boat are really great! I've never done that either, but it looks like a good picture opportunity.

And my question is, did YOU like the Domes?

 

[shannon47142]

about your CHH conversation!!!
looks like you guys enjoyed the rest on the evening in the MK

 

[micandminforever]

The pictures were great from the riverboat. My dh and I have not rode the riverboat in about 20 years. I need to add that to my list of things to do next time.

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Connor had wanted to eat at El Pirata y el Perico, but it had closed at 4:00 Why did they close so early?


I look down at the kids perhaps hoping for divine inspiration to strike and notice Connor is covering his mouth and nose. LOL Poor Connor.

After dinner, it was time for rides! One of our goals for this trip was to try some stuff that we had never done. The kids spotted the Liberty Belle Riverboat so that is where we headed first. It is a really relaxing and neat ride. It was very cool to see Frontierland and Liberty Square from the water. This is a great ride. Not something you want to do every time but a definite must do. You can get the best pictures from the boat, especially of BTMRR & The HM.

A rainbow on our first night at WDW! So pretty!!!

YUM! I will be having these again next trip! They're soooooooooooo delicious!

GREAT update!!!

 

[xoktenox]

oooh I love those HM pictures from the Liberty Belle! I'm going to have to take a minute to stop and smell the roses and ride that boat next time I'm in the MK.

Poor Connor with his fish smells! I could see my brother doing the same thing when he was that age...and also now, at 19 yrs old

 

[MadiMouse]

Another great update! I loved Columbia House but DH did not! :confused

Can't wait for more!!!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

I agree with brookelizabeth-the conversation in the CHH does make for a good trip report...

However I imagine that was one of those parenting moments that you have every so often (I really enjoy my kids 90% of the time...) that you just kind of want to move ever slightly away from the children and look around kind of like you aren't really sure who they belong to...

David has gotten sensitive or maybe more aware of smells recently too and he isn't afraid to mention it either (something we are working on...) We were in line at the 7-11 and the gentleman in front of us was umm...hygiene deficient and all of a sudden David starts saying "phew something really stinks"...(more than once...-now granted this child truly doesn't have a mean bone in his body so he really didn't mean to be unkind but neither is he that great at modulating his voice...) which then led to a whole conversation in the car about lowering the voice, watching what you say, etc.

You can at least take comfort in the fact that at least Connor was really only insulting the fish who could no longer be insulted by anything...

(Btw-I think that David would enjoy Connor immensely...)

the Jungle Cruise is a sentimental favorite-and it is better in the dark It kind of reminds me of the precursor to the whole Animal Kingdom/AKL!

So glad to see you liked the domes... and creating the next generation of dome lovers to boot-you go Chelsea!

Anxiously awaiting more trippie...

 

[mobes_jk]

Anxiously awaiting more trippie...

Me too!

 

[manntra]

Hi there!! Just love your report and all of the banter inbetween!!
We share a mutual love of AKL, zebra domes and Jim Cantore!!!
I just love AKV and it is so great to read a report by someone who feels the same!

 

[Disneyvirg]

Great update, Jackie!

Thanks for the pics of the zebra domes. I've been very curious about them. What are they made of?

Poor Connor with the kids meals. My kids loved them. I think they would have eaten chicken nuggets and a chocolate chip cookie at each meal if I would have let them...but they're much younger than Connor.

We've veered off track with our trips. We were on completely different sides of MK that night. I've started a TR (that no one is reading) if you're curious as to where we went that night instead. (shameless plug )

Looking forward to Sunday's report.

Carissa

 

[descamilla]

Great update... please keep them coming. And I'm looking forward to my first Zebra Dome this October. But I'm not too sure that I want to know what's in them before I eat one... I'm sure it will be much too sweet for my own good.

 

[MeMom]

Great update... please keep them coming. And I'm looking forward to my first Zebra Dome this October. But I'm not too sure that I want to know what's in them before I eat one... I'm sure it will be much too sweet for my own good.

They are sweet, but delicious bites of heaven. You'll love them!

I see you are new to the DIS, or at least new to posting.
Welcome aboard!
Don't judge everyone on the boards by Charleston Princess.
She's exceptionally crazy nice!
You picked a great report to start out on!


CP, I was needing to wake up to an AKL view picture this Sunday morning!
Dontcha got one you could throw me?
I'll take anything - a tree, a zebra, water, whatever....

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Wow the boards are slow this morning. It took me three tries to reply. Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say. Too bad because I'm sure it was extremely witty.

Until further inspiration hits (and it's looking doubtful as a pack of kids have arrived at my side demanding pancakes) I'll have to settle with these comments.

1)Great pics of the haunted house from the river boat. Never thought to take them from there.

2)Love that Chelsea loves her ears so much she still keeps them on even in the hotel room.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I Love the look on Chelsea's Face!!! Precious!

Thank you! I think she's a cutie even when she is nabbing my dessert!

I am hysterical over the image of Connor dry retching in CHH! I am sure it was not funny at the time but it's funny now. So you liked your fish? I didn't have the greatest meal there but I am assuming it was an off day.

I was so stunned at the time that I was in shock! LOL! Then, I thought -- oh this will make it into the TR. I did like my fish -- I really wish I had tried the tuna sandwich though.

You got a lot done on your first night! How long were you there? Love the rainbow pic!

I really need to try a zebra dome.

The crowds were not bad at all that night. I looked at my receipts and such from that day and we went to Columbia Harbor House at 5:30 and went with Charles to the Mara at 9:42, so I would guess we spent about three hours doing rides that evening.

You do need to try a zebra dome -- they are sooo good!

Great update Jackie, the dialogue from CHH was us last year. The choices for kids on the dining plan, especially when they get a little older are horrid. On our October trip Baylor still qualified at a kid but we did Tables in Wonderland instead to avoid the grief.

Thank you! I am so glad that the next time we go Connor will be eating off the adult menu -- it will be one less thing for him to gripe about.

Great pictures of the kids on the Liberty Belle!

I am glad that Chelsea was able to find some comfort in her little brother while riding Haunted Mansion! I had an episode last summer when Haunted Mansion totally creeped me out.... but I have ridden it since Good for Chelsea going even though it sacred her! She's a trooper!

Jungle Cruise is a fun one at night!

Now I'm wondering if Connor ever did get on Splash.....

Thanks! Chelsea is a trooper -- there is nothing that child won't ride at least once. I love Jungle Cruise no matter what time of day it is!

Splash -- sigh. That's all I am saying.

Poor Connor with the kids meals! I think I would have gotten Liam something at Pecos Bills to go and then went to CHH for us....I don't do well with whinnng when it comes to eating.

I just wasn't prepared for the whining -- it took me totally off guard.

I was worried that you wouldn't like your meal at CHH since you didn't get the tuna sandwich....my DH liked the fish there also, although he prefers the fish at the Yorkshire shop.

Loved it although I need a redo so I can order what I really want. LOL!

It sounds like you had a great little night at MK (even without your Diva!). And cheers to you for letting the kids ride by themselves!

We did -- the crowds were super low in comparison to other times -- I am going on Saturdays from now on.

I was a little hesitant at first, but then I thought, "What could possibly happen?" It was nice to stick them in the line and then go sit down.

Dry retching in the restaurant. Hmmm. How DOES one deal with that as a parent? But I have to say I'm right there with him on the overly fishy smell in general (I haven't been to CHH specifically). I like to eat various seafood but when it has that really fishy smell?

I still have no idea what to do -- it is not in any of the parenting guidebooks! Ha ha! Columbia Harbor House does not smell fishy to me -- Connor was just trying on his diva crown that night to see how it fit.

Sounds like you had a lovely evening. I think that the riverboat may have to go on my list too. I haven't done that since I was a little kid!

And Jungle Cruise at night... can't wait!

OK- don't gasp- but when I stayed at AKL I didn't try the zebra domes. I'm not really a sweets person. What is in them?

You should ride the riverboat -- there are some great picture opportunities of Frontierland and Liberty Square and there is a cute little narration.

Trying not to gasp! They have cake and a kind of mocha-flavored filling on the inside.

Oh, poor connor! I wouldn't want to eat every meal off the kids menu either

I wouldn't either -- he was much better when we had buffet meals.

Nice rainbow! That's got to be a good sign!

I thought so, too!

Chelsea is my kind of girl!

Mine, too, so I couldn't really fuss to much -- those zebra domes are hard to resist.

Oh poor Connor and the food dilemna and ewww to the dry retching LOL! I'm not particularly fond of a fishy smell either but I do love me some fried fish LOL!

I was speechless when I looked down and saw that happening. I don't think it smells fishy in CHH at all.

Oh my Haunted Mansion how wonderful it is to see thee....poor Chelsea I hope someday she too will learn too love the treasure that is that experience.

I just don't get it since she'll ride Tower of Terror and that's way scarier in my opinion.

Zebra Dome thief...LOL...loved the pictures CP! However I'm not sure I would have been able to resist those looked absolutely heavenly LOL!

I would have been hard pressed to resist as well!

Oh man I am totally dying on your CHH scenario....we had a similar one at Fultons..our older niece (almost 13 at the time) loves shrimp, crab etc....eats it all the time so I thought, GREAT I will book Fultons because DH and I love it and the picky child can eat til her hearts content

While waiting for a table DH took her into the bar area so she could see all the different shellfish and fish...well she completely freaked out, never seen it that way before, you know some live lobsters and all the fish spread out in the glass cases...she refused to eat anything because it was once alive

I said are you kidding me? You eat chicken, that was once clucking around, you eat burgers, what do you thing we passed on the I-75 large dogs?? Of course the food we eat was once alive.

She said yea I know that but I have never SEEN it be alive before I ate it.

So she had a giant bowl of mac and cheese and every time DH cracked open a grab claw she show him a dirty look and when I took a big bite of my lobster tail she said "You know its mother is probably missing it right now"

Oy teenage drama at its best!

I about died when I read the comment, "You know its mother is probably missing it right now." That reminds me of the time that Chelsea and Connor decided they were going to be vegetarians -- which was terribly funny since they LOVE meat! That lasted until about the next meal.

Yea an update! Your conversation at CHH reminds me of the one DH and I had in March, only it wasn't about fish. I had scanned all the menus looking for healthy meals with no fried foods - DH really has to watch his weight, and fried usually doesn't agree with me. I thought I had found some great choices here, and we hadn't eaten there before. So as we are heading over there, DH says, "so why are we eating here and not Pecos Bills?"
"Because this place has better choices."
"What are they"
"Turkey wraps, salads, and stuff like that."
"I don't like salad."
"I just thought this would be better for us and it sounds really nice."
"I don't like salad."
"Fine. Let's go to Pecos Bill's and fight for a table!"so we did.

I agree, the kid's menus really stink.

That sounds like Charles and me!

I love the rainbow! I wonder how many people looked up and saw it? Chelsea looks so cute after stealing the Zebra Dome!

It was so neat to see it -- I have never seen a rainbow at Disney before.

Chelsea seems to think her cute face will get her out of trouble. Sometimes it works!

What a nice way to start a Saturday morning - with an all out belly-laugh! I can totally see the CHH scenario.
Too funny!
Now, at least.
Maybe not for you at that moment.

Glad my update started your Saturday off in such a good way. I really was in such shock at the time that Connor was acting like that, that I wasn't too upset. I just kept thinking I needed him to stop.

Those PBJ things were served in our summer school lunches, too, at least once a week, and the kids threw them away by the dozens. Apparently, Connor's opinion of the horribleness is shared by many others.

He said it left a funny aftertaste and wasn't like the ones I made at home.

From the picture on the boat, though, it looks like he made it just fine. He is a lucky boy to have a mom and sister who would not let him die of starvation in a stinky restaurant in Disney World.

Yeah, we weren't going to let him starve -- it would have been a loud and drawn-out production and we had rides to ride!

Yep, there are definitely supposed to be five of those delectable bites of heaven in that tray. I would know!
Good for Chelsea for discovering the deliciousness!

Little stinker -- wait until you see how many zebra domes she consumed that week!

 

[Charleston Princess]

More replies on the previous page!

Your son sounds ALOT like my son Sam, 7. My daughter Connor, 13, just goes with the flow like me, but not my Sam, he's a feisty one!

Stacy

Connor can be very opinionated -- well, so can Chelsea -- they seem to take turns being the outspoken one.

Totally cracking up at the conversation at CHH. I'm sure my time is coming! The zebra domes look yummy!

It was one of those moments when all I could do is shake my head! LOL!

The zebra domes not only look yummy, they taste yummy, too!

Poor connor- dry retching in CHH. My DS16 is exactly like that. He hates fish and won't sit at the same table with me at home if I am eating fish. He will, however, tolerate fish near him at a restuarant. Yes....I, too, have seen plenty of dry retching over tuna or salmon smells in my house!

So, it never stops, does it? Connor doesn't seem to care if the seafood is sitting on the table near him -- he didn't complain when he was sharing a table with mine and Chelsea's fish baskets.

I also love the Jungle Cruise at night. It is the best. In December I had the best captain named Jessica. She was the cutest thing with a delightful Australian accent. She has me laughing so hard my side hurt.

Loved your update. Lovely night at MK (minus the fish) to be sure!

Thank you! We had a good captain, too. There were a couple of lines that the kids spent the rest of the trip repeating.

p.s. I agree with you that the kids menu is atrocious! It's probably OK for younger kids, but not for a 9 year old. My nephew ate nothing but pizza and chicken nuggets all the week and the quantities are just too small for a 9 year old. We were always loading his plate up with food.

That's what we ended up doing, too. Also, a lot of times Chelsea's portions were too big for her so we did a lot of splitting and such.

Great update. The Connor story is great. Seriously though Disney does need to work on their kids menu's. DS is finally 10 this year and so excited about his menu choices. Everywhere around us kids can eat off the kids menu until they are 12-I am actually glad it is not that way at Diseny-on our last trip when Lance was 9 I ended up sharing a lot of my food with him because a boy can only eat so many chicken nuggets in a week.

Thank you! I am glad it stops at ten at Disney as well. I don't think I could take another year of Connor's complaining.

Love the rainbow. I really need to try a zebra dome. AKL is one of the 3 places we are considering staying for our next trip.

Stay there! It's so wonderful and then you can try the zebra domes!

Conner sounds like David when he was younger. He is a ferocious picky eater and used to have fits if the lettuce on his plate was touching his chicken or something similar. I'm happy you stuck to your guns! I've never eaten there but I love pecos bills so we always end up there

Both kids tend to have their moments where food is concerned, but luckily they don't have fits if their lettuce and chicken touch.

We love Pecos Bill's, too! Their chili cheese fries are divine!

Love the update. You got a lot done, and can remove one attraction from your have not done list. We ate at CHH and I am a smell queen, but I don't remember it smelling fishy. I think those choices would be hard for a ten year old...my girls were fine still.

Thank you! I didn't think it smelled fishy either -- Connor was just being Connor.

Love the Zebra domes....I need to get my hands on them!

They were so good!

DH and I love CHH! Hope you did too! I am very disappointed that there isn't fish on the kids menu...DS loves it. I wonder why that is??

Yes, I did love CHH! I wish the kids' menus would reflect the adult choices at the CS places -- how hard would it be to just do smaller portions of the same things?

Your DS reminds me of a girl I used to nanny for..whenever we went into the monkey house at the local zoo she would gag and act like she was going to throw up b/c of the smell!

Aren't kids fun?

Poor Connor, the Kids meals do stink at soo many places, and it must stink then to see Chelsea get to order whatever.. poor thing... funny though about CHH.. So dramatic

Yes, I think watching his sister order what she wants off the adult menus is a major thorn in Connor's side.

So are the Zebra Domes like a truffel?? Didn't Charles miss the first day last year too? What is it with him and the first day?

Nothing like truffles. There is a hard frosting outside and on the inside it is layers of cake with a mocha mousse like filling. So good!

I guess the shock of being at Disney is just too much for Charles to handle. LOL!

This report is really amazing, CP. Really. The kids are too funny throughout all of this. Can't wait to read more!

Thank you so much! So many times the kids and Charles would do things and I would think, "Here's something else for the TR."

Ooooohhhh! Definitely magical!!! I would've been excited too... what a great sign!!

We will forgive Chelsa her dislike of Haunted Mansion because she redeemed herself with a love of Zebra Domes!!!

Kathy

I was so excited about the rainbow -- it was so neat to see it stretching across Adventureland!

I just don't get Chelsea's fear of Haunted Mansion because she'll ride Tower of Terror and I think the theming is much scarier on that.

Zebra domes became her favorite snack of the trip.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Connor was just trying on his diva crown that night to see how it fit.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Poor Connor! You handled it pretty well though. I don't know what I would have done if one of the girls started dry heaving in a restauarant. I'd probably be so embarrased I'd leave. Alison was 10 when we went and there were times the choices on the kids menu didn't appeal to her. If I remember correctly she was able to order off the regular menu at CHH and Coral Reef. The CMs at both places said we could do that...and I didn't even ask! And they charged it as a kids meal on the DP.

Luckily there was hardly anyone in CHH, so I didn't feel like the world was witnessing Connor's dramatics. How nice of the CMs to allow Alison to order something different -- I never even thought to ask about that.

The rainbow picture is cool! The riverboat looks like it was a nice relaxing after dinner ride. We didn't get around to doing that when we were there. We did, however, do the JC at night and loved it!

I have to admit being a bit surprised to see Chelsea's picture as the zebra dome thief. I fully expected it to be Connor!

It was a very relaxing way to digest our dinner!

Connor doesn't like zebra domes which I was kind of thankful for since I had my hands full fighting just Chelsea for my fair share!

Okay, first and foremost, where are my pictures of POTC?

Don't get me wrong, I love the Haunted Mansion, but come on? No shout out for your dear pirate obsessed friend?

I dropped the Pirates ball, didn't I? I don't know why I don't take more pictures -- if you notice I didn't take any in Adventureland. I really think I just go into sensory overload at the Magic Kingdom after a couple of hours.

Now that we got that over with, I am so with Connor. I am not fond of the children's menus at all. It's one of my biggest pet peeves about the meal plan. Because we go during free dining, I feel like I need to buck up and deal with it, but because of the lack of choice and ultimate redundancy among the restaurants, I often wonder, if we go not during free dining, would we actually pay for that for our child. I don't know. It's a good deal in the world of table service if you're at buffets where they can opt to eat the adult food, but other than that...meh. So, I completely understand the dry retching, even though that was really about the fish and not the uncrustable.

Well said! I am so glad this was our last experience with the kids' menus.

It looks like you had a really nice night with the kiddos. Crisis averted, parenting skills full steam ahead!

And who knew you had a little zebra dome fan on your hands?

We did have a nice night -- well, except for Chelsea and that root beer float.

Oh poor Connor! And poor you in that moment! Sure makes for a good TR though.

That's what I told myself at the time!

The kids' menus do stink at WDW - every once in a while you find something good/unique, but in general it's the same thing over and over again. I'm sure many parents face similar dilemas when their children are near the cut-off age.

The same thing and really Connor was so over it.

The pictures of the kids on the boat are really great! I've never done that either, but it looks like a good picture opportunity.

And my question is, did YOU like the Domes?

Lots of great photo opportunities on the riverboat.

Oh, I love zebra domes -- it was one of the reasons I wanted to stay at AKL -- the thought they would be right down in the Mara and we wouldn't have to go to Boma for them.

about your CHH conversation!!!
looks like you guys enjoyed the rest on the evening in the MK

It is funny when I look back on it, and we did have a good time the rest of the night!

The pictures were great from the riverboat. My dh and I have not rode the riverboat in about 20 years. I need to add that to my list of things to do next time.

Yes, I was so glad we did the riverboat -- it was much neater than I thought it would be. I would love to do it at MNSSHP and hear the Legend of Sleepy Hollow that they tell on it.

Why did they close so early?

I don't know -- it doesn't make any sense to me since they share seating with Pecos Bill's.

LOL Poor Connor.

He's a mess.

This is a great ride. Not something you want to do every time but a definite must do. You can get the best pictures from the boat, especially of BTMRR & The HM.

That's what I thought, too.

YUM! I will be having these again next trip! They're soooooooooooo delicious!

I know it! I love them!

GREAT update!!!

Thank you!

oooh I love those HM pictures from the Liberty Belle! I'm going to have to take a minute to stop and smell the roses and ride that boat next time I'm in the MK.

Poor Connor with his fish smells! I could see my brother doing the same thing when he was that age...and also now, at 19 yrs old

Yes, ride it next time -- you get great views!!!

I wonder if Connor will still be doing it at 19???

Another great update! I loved Columbia House but DH did not!:confused

Can't wait for more!!!

Thank you! I really liked CHH -- especially the upstairs seating -- it was so quiet up there.

I agree with brookelizabeth-the conversation in the CHH does make for a good trip report...

However I imagine that was one of those parenting moments that you have every so often (I really enjoy my kids 90% of the time...) that you just kind of want to move ever slightly away from the children and look around kind of like you aren't really sure who they belong to...

That's one of the things I thought about doing!

You can at least take comfort in the fact that at least Connor was really only insulting the fish who could no longer be insulted by anything...

(Btw-I think that David would enjoy Connor immensely...)

Yep, we have had those conversations as well!!! I think David and Connor would get along quite well!

the Jungle Cruise is a sentimental favorite-and it is better in the dark It kind of reminds me of the precursor to the whole Animal Kingdom/AKL!

Yes, every time we ride Jungle Cruise I think that! I think that's why I love Adventureland and Animal Kingom so much -- that exotic look!

So glad to see you liked the domes... and creating the next generation of dome lovers to boot-you go Chelsea!

Anxiously awaiting more trippie...

We our zebra domes!

Me too!

Thank you! More TR will be coming Tuesday or Wednesday!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hi there!! Just love your report and all of the banter inbetween!!
We share a mutual love of AKL, zebra domes and Jim Cantore!!!
I just love AKV and it is so great to read a report by someone who feels the same!

Thank you! I know we will get along great since you love AKL, zebra domes, and Jim Cantore as much as I do!

Great update, Jackie!

Thanks for the pics of the zebra domes. I've been very curious about them. What are they made of?

Thank you! Zebra domes have a hard frosting outside and on the inside there are layers of cake and mocha mousse-like filling. Very rich, but oh so delicious!

Poor Connor with the kids meals. My kids loved them. I think they would have eaten chicken nuggets and a chocolate chip cookie at each meal if I would have let them...but they're much younger than Connor.

Connor used to love them, but since his sister graduated to adult meals, it has really irked him to order off the kids' menus.

We've veered off track with our trips. We were on completely different sides of MK that night. I've started a TR (that no one is reading) if you're curious as to where we went that night instead. (shameless plug )

Looking forward to Sunday's report.

Carissa

I found it! I love comparing where we were at the same time!

Great update... please keep them coming. And I'm looking forward to my first Zebra Dome this October. But I'm not too sure that I want to know what's in them before I eat one... I'm sure it will be much too sweet for my own good.

to the DIS and my TR! Thank you! You will love the zebra domes!!! They are the signature dessert of AKL, that's for sure! At least for me.

They are sweet, but delicious bites of heaven. You'll love them!

Yes, they are heavenly!

I see you are new to the DIS, or at least new to posting.
Welcome aboard!
Don't judge everyone on the boards by Charleston Princess.
She's exceptionally crazy nice!
You picked a great report to start out on!

Awwww, MeMom! You flatter me so! You're pretty crazy nice yourself.

CP, I was needing to wake up to an AKL view picture this Sunday morning!
Dontcha got one you could throw me?
I'll take anything - a tree, a zebra, water, whatever....

Oh, this is why you were flattering me -- you wanted a picture of AKL! Well, I guess since you are so nice to me, I will see what I can find for you!

Wow the boards are slow this morning. It took me three tries to reply. Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say. Too bad because I'm sure it was extremely witty.

Until further inspiration hits (and it's looking doubtful as a pack of kids have arrived at my side demanding pancakes) I'll have to settle with these comments.

1)Great pics of the haunted house from the river boat. Never thought to take them from there.

2)Love that Chelsea loves her ears so much she still keeps them on even in the hotel room.

My kids seem to think it is okay to talk to me when I am on the DIS and demand things as well.

I never noticed the bat on the weather vane on the HM until I was looking at those pictures.

Chelsea would wear ears all the time, if she could, I think.

Funny, but true. Trust me -- everybody tried on the diva crown on this trip!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Jackie, as you read along with me, make note of how many times Baylor orders from the kids menu........
Which was no problem since we were not on the dining plan, but if we would have paid for the adult rate and he wanted the kids food instead........
Keeley did that to me in 2006, we paid adult and she ordered kids. She was 17!
