I am also LOL at Connor's conversation with King Pin. So don't keep us waiting... did he purchase the walking stick??

I feel like I did not spend enough time exploring the lodge. That seals it... I must go back!

I don't blame you for not wanting to go back to AK for one ride. Good call. I'm sure Chelsea got over it!

Looking forward to hearing about Boma!

 

[Sarilas]

Oooh, I want a walking stick with a skull on it!

Those are reat giraffe pics. I just love 'em!

Love that conversation between Connor and King Pin! The King Pin pin is very cool!

Hannah and I loved your giraffe pictures. She informed me that if their ears are down that they are sad and if their ears are up they're excited.

This is from Hannah: I think she's been hanging out with Wigd! LOL (also from Hannah!)

cant wait to hear about Boma, we have an ADR there for dinner on December 3rd!

Love, love, LOVE Connor's convo with King Pin! Oh my goodness.

You know, when I read your trip report, I literally think, this is what I'm in store for. And I mean that in a totally good way! Don't you just love what your kids come up with?

Sounds like a nice relaxing afternoon. And even if Chelsea was less than thrilled, I'm with you on this one. I would definitely have wanted to just hang and chill before dinner.

I mean, really. You need to prepare yourselves, mentally for that buffet. Be at peace with all around you so you can consume all your favorites and as many Zebra Domes as humanly possible!!!

Love the giraffe photos!

Your children are charming and funny. Evil sisters and skull sticks... I will have to look for the skull sticks in Nov. I can use the excuse I need one for my students (actually I just want one). However, since I teach psych at an inner-city college, I really can use the stick in my lectures when discussing demonology and exorcism during the middle ages.

I have to get to the AKL! It would be so fun to just see the animals, let alone the theming. Night is not the time to visit there... stupid me!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I have never heard of the King Pin! How cute! I love that he has his own special edition pin.

I love the back and forth between Chelsea and Connor, it so reminds me of my brother and I when we were growing up.

 

[Happydog]

These are great AKL and animal pics! King Pin huh? neat! He must have had a few good choices! The shots of the animals were nice, there is such nice detail at the AK.. so with that stick, I guess the warding of "evil" doesn't include whacking someone over the head with it? That would do the trick...

 

[MRYPPNS]

AKL is so on my list of resorts to stay at soon. Do you have any more info on this King Pin guy? I mean they have a pin of him in a Goofy sort of way!

 

[wsushocker]

I have no problem killing most bugs -- especially because it means an end to the high-pitched shrieking from Charles and the kids.

I believe that would make it an educational expense and therefore tax-deductible!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Wow you DID get some great shots of the giraffes! I hope we get to see some when we are there in December. Is King Pin out at certain times? It would be fun to do some trading with him too!
I can just hear Connor with his evil comment, he told me the same thing about EE! Did he end up with the walking stick or hang on to his souvie money?

Your kids are going to have such great stories to tell when they are all grown up!

 

[winkers]

Conner is such a hoot!

As Chelsea gets older, her abilities to convey her "disgruntledness" will only improve!

My appologies for the last sentence....I'm sure disgruntledness isn't a word and not spelled correctly......I'm an english teacher's nightmare!

 

[punkin413]

BEEautiful pictures of the giraffes! just gorgeous.

thanks for letting me know about mary poppins. i haven't had time to respond over on my TR but i was THRILLED when i read that. i will definitely be there. if you're interested we should do lunch or dinner before or after the show!

 

[Native NYer]

Connor is too funny! Did he get that stick with the skull?

Pin trading with King Pin sounds like fun. Is he there everyday?

I love your animal photos are beautiful. I can't wait to see them next summer!!!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Is there such a thing as too many giraffe pictures?

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Loved your update Jackie-it made me smile......hasn't been too much smiling since...Monday...I want to go back and live in Disney-has anyone ever done that...

(The kids just started back to school on Tuesday...Em just started 9th...eek... and David started 2nd...after this week is over and every one's nerves are calmed a bit-I know it will be better...but they are both good students and slightly perfectionist and both are bad with transitions...anyway...

I loved those giraffe pictures...some of their expressions were almost human-like...

WE met pin king in August and he wasn't sporting any pins nearly as good as those in your photographs...(he had a lot of the Disney baby series...) and he has his own limited edition King pin pin...how cool is that...?

hmmm....I didn't know those skull sticks warded off evil...now that could come in handy...I'm thinking we need to go back and get one next time...just another item for the "why we need to go back to WDW" list...

 

[MaryAz]

Oh my goodness how much do I all those giraffe pics. SO great, I even stole one for my background-hope you don't mind. I just have to stay there now.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

I love all the giraffe pics!

Conor never fails to crack me up! Telling Kingpin that his sister is evil! And a couple updates ago when Connor told you he was hallucinating! My kind of kid!
