**sorry all I know I have been lagging, thanks for sticken with me. Everyday life has gotten in the way then Im now working on mothers day and gma's gifts (making blankets for them with old pics), also hours for the parks came out finally for our August time frame so Im planning that and figuring out ADR's. THen with the swine flu (ya im gonna blame that too LOL) there are some MEGA cheap 3day cruises that are now NOT going to Mexico and hitting up Catalina Im looking for a mini vaca-getaway.... and thats how a trip report can get put on the back burner. OH and besides the point that if I end this trip report it means its over... I cant relive through myself and nothing to look forward to since we dont have a cruise planned to look forward to (at least not yet, or anytime soon)**
After E and I had a nice time at the Spa, I believe E went to diversions to watch a game I think? (If I wouldnt have lagged on this trip report I would have remembered, unfortunatly I have NO notes from today, so you get my mushy memory!) I went and got J from the club he was in and asked if he wanted to go do towel folding. He did and wanted to know if P was going.. so off to find where P was and see if he too wanted to fold some towels. In P's not so enthusiastic way he said no, so J and I made our way to Rocken D.
We see Tonya and find a seat. They give a quick demo and expect us to catch on in 30mins on how to make some animal. Poor lil J got a lil frustrated that he couldnt do it right, but I told him dont worry neither can I LOL. I have much respect for our stateroom host and his ability to mold that towel into some cute animal.
Together we made and Elephant
and in honor of my monkey men!
I loved all the lil details of Disney. I think its what sets them apart from the other cruiselines.. not to mention the great service
after we were done with towel folding we saw on the Navigator that they had a Pirates Life For Me going on at Studio Sea. So J and I head that way and bump into this Goof Ball
(yall thought I was going to say E huh LOL)
Pirates life was a cute game, and J had just resently got out of this Pirate phase (anytime I would ask him to do things it was ARRR me lady, cute the 1st few times after about the 100th I wanted to Shiver his timbers LOL) THey had people builiding things from a treasure box, and some other stuff that audience members participated in that I cant remember LOL. The last thing was I think a bean bag type toss. I do remember J running in line to do it, and kids kept relining up but he said 1 time was good for him.
We were on the Pea Powder Monkey team
I had to meet E at 4 at Diversions for our Beer Tasting so since we had an hour to kill, I asked J what he wanted to do. Kids club, Pool, chill in the room....Nope, MICKEY POOL no doubt. Worked for me, so off we went. He got in a few good runs on the Mickey Slide before saying he was hungry, so I went and got the ol stand by.
Hot dog from Pinochio's for him
and a pannini from Goofy's Galley for me, oh and a wrap too
Got us a few drinks and we sat and ate while enjoying the waves crash by. A nice mother son time, again missed the kodak moment darn it. After we ate J was still a lil damp so I took him down to change out of his suit and into some shorts, so he could go play in his club. E met us in the room in time to head back up to drop J off at his club (where he would be playing Freeze dance, right up that boys alley LOL) we then made our way to sample some cervesas!
In Diversions Tonya and Mike were already waiting for us front and center. They already had our drinks waiting for us and we had to play catch up.
Cheers to us...
SOMEONE was having a hard time drinking after the night before
We learned about hops, barley and different beers... do we remember anything from that .... NOPE we had to much fun rehashing the night before's festivities LOL Poor E. He will never live that down (but in his defense, he does bring up formal night and the trash can insident. BUT Still, kicken a trash can isnt half as bad as praying to the flush o'matic 3000 gods LMAO)
We also had to make a black and tan in 3 easy steps
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3 ... make that 2 easy steps
If memory serves me correctly I believe they also gave irish car bombs out to those that answers questions right. Mike got one of those too.
So as we are sitting there finishing our beers and wondering what to do next, we see them bring in tons of kids through Diviersions. We all say isnt that great they are having a parade through the bar, perfect place for kids lol. Then we see J... and he has on a shirt... and some hat... wait that a graduation type hat... so we check out the Navigator and realize its time for their Graduation thing. (They really need to advertise that better cuz 4 times its listed just isnt enough HA).
So we all grab our beers and make a bee line for the Walt theatre. Ya we must have looked like great parents chuggen beers and wondering where our kids were, since we weren't sure if the big boys stayed in their clubs or not since they could check themselves out. Appears they did go to it, E saw them in line as he was running to get the video camera .
Aww my lil graduate
If you find either one of my boys let me know
Cuz we have searched and searched and nothing LOL
It was a cute show the kids put on, and I have saved their graduation hats, told them they can wear them when they graduate high school.
After their graduation we went and got them from their clubs and went back to the room to get ready for the show and dinner, since tonight was semi-formal night.
I will tell you now no trashcans were hurt in tonights preperations. Back in the room, the boys ordered a snack from room service (I beleive the crew knew them and their orders by heart now) I jumped in the shower while E helped the boys with a bit more homework. Then we swapped spots.
Getting everyone dressed and into semi formal wear as quick as can be. Then it was off to the McCullough 5k (our famous running in formal wear and heels) to see tonights Production Disney Dreams. Cute show the boys actually liked it and I didnt pass out in it.
