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

[Charleston Princess]

Looks like a great day at EPCOT and I don't blame you for making Chelsea use the center strap. I am glad that she ended up talking to you after a little bit. I am looking forward to seeing if Connor ended up being able to do the Mission of not.

Oh, yes, Connor ends up doing more than one mission!

Your pictures and storytelling have me groaning for the next two weeks to pass by quickly!! Did you know there is a huge hidden mickey on living with the land? The lettuce is two different shades of green, the lighter green is a mickey! (David figured this one out!)

Less than two weeks now!!! I didn't know that about the lettuce -- I will so have to check that out when we ride Living with the Land again.

Is it party time over here yet?
You know I get up early, so I am ready to start the music!

If not, I'll just sit very quietly at the empty table until things get started.

Happy Birthday to a very special ten year old!

Hi, MeMom!!! It's been a party over here since about 9:00 this morning! We will be opening presents soon and eating cupcakes -- it is a Star Wars theme, by the way.

Thank you for Connor's birthday wishes -- I can't believe my little boy is in double digits now. I am not sure what happened to the time!

The video games in Innoventions are great!
Your breakfast looks delicious. Sunshine Seasons is a great place to eat.
I wonder what happened to the Mickey head pumpkins. When I went in August, Living with the Land was closed.
Have you done the Behind the Seeds tour?

Thank you! I want to eat a full meal at Sunshine Seasons at some point.

I think the pumpkins were there and we just missed them.

Nope -- we have never done the Behind the Seeds tour, but I would like to at some point.

Is it somebody's birthday?
Happy Birthday to Connor!
Star wars party? That sounds fun! You must show pictures. Why not a Kim Possible mission party.

Hi Jackie,
I was just thinking about the birthday boy and the KP incidents and I have an idea for you.

You guys could have a Disney night and Connor and Chelsea could team up with one phone and you text them places to go in the house or pictures if you want to be fancy and then have a clue there, like words or something disney related. Then once they find the clue they text you and you text them a new clue. Then at the end maybe it could 'Say congrats you saved Mickey and friends and have stuffed animals or the green alliens.

On our past trip thankfully they did KP with Dh once I went back to the room. Then it started pouring so that ended it much to Dh's relief

Well happy birthday to Conner! Why doesn't the Star Wars theme surprise me? lol

Hey Jackie,

Sending good wishes to Connor for a Happy Birthday! I hope it was awesome and everything he hoped for...

(emily and david send their best wishes too...

I hope you all had a great day celebrating...

Thank you, everyone, for the great birthday wishes for Connor! He really got a kick out of reading them! We had a lot of fun celebrating all things Connor today although I caught myself a few times thinking, "How can he possibly be ten already?"

There were a lot of Star Wars gifts -- especially Legos -- but my favorite gift was Connor's new Star Wars fandex -- very cool (thanks Patricia for finding that for David months ago)!

And there was even a special visitor that came to hang out (he arrived with the Fandex LOL!) with Connor and my nephew Will...

Gotta love it when Han Solo shows up!

That is a great idea! I bet the kids would get such a kick out of it, and it would be something fun to do when the weather turns cold, and we are stuck inside!

Oh man, I would have had her use the center strap as well. I am drooling over those desserts...I mean, snacks. They look so good!!

I can just feel your excitement as you type about the Kim Possible mission.

They were very yummy!

Yes, it's just bubbling over, isn't it?

Our next destination: World Showcase!

How I love to gaze across the lagoon and see my favorite country off in the distance!

The first stop on any world tour (at least in World Showcase): Canada!

My little glam girl!

While in Canada, Chelsea decided she wanted pictures in each country of her and her brother modeling various headgear and products. (I couldn’t help but remember Lady Lallie and her husband Marc doing the same thing.)

It’s Rocky and Bullwinkle!!!

In the United Kingdom Chelsea found exactly what she was looking for.

Practicing her royal wave!

When we reached France, we stopped awhile to watch the film Impressions de France. Ahhh, air conditioning, beautiful music (I was thrilled to discover it was one of the tracks on the Four Parks One World CD set I purchased), and stunning scenery. I think we all wanted to visit France for real after experiencing it!

This is one of my favorite pictures -- two pensive fellows!

It wouldn’t be a trip to France without some beret shots!

French ambiance! Plus, we have a chat noir at our house named Bagheera.

After Impressions de France, it was time to go pick up Connor’s Kimmunicator at the International Gateway. His mission was in France -- I have written in my travel journal, “Boy, it was hot trudging from the International Gateway back to France!”

One of our agreements had been that Connor could do as many missions as he wanted to do on Friday. WHAT WAS I THINKING??? After successfully thwarting the evil plans of Signor Signor in France, Connor’s next mission took us back to the United Kingdom. Off we went to cross that bridge again…

I do think the Kim Possible mission in the United Kingdom is the cutest one of the bunch. Again, I am not going to reveal ANYTHING about the mission, but I will say that my absolute favorite part of it takes place in the tea shop. So, when you do the KP mission in the United Kingdom remember that.

By the end of mission number 2, Chelsea and I were in desperate need of a break. We headed towards Morocco for lunch and a little henna.

UP NEXT: Why yes, yes, he is an accomplished sitar player.

Happy Birthday Connor!

Chelsea and Connor are just so darn cute! I love them posing in the hats, I think that is one of the best free things to do in WS.

Don't you just love the music from France on the Four Parks One World CDs? So relaxing, that is one of my favorites to listen too.

 

[Nicole786]

Happy Belated Birthday, Conner!

I havent done the KP mission in UK but i'd like to request that pavillion this trip!
