LOL I think Kathy would be willing to share Edward with you..

I have all my pics ready for my update. It WILL happen tomorrow.... at some point.

If only I could afford Edward's travel expenses!

LOL TRUE!

Maybe you can find the Blank-istani Edward. Or maybe Meirzjan, Miras, Sanzjar, Il'yas, Tamerlan, Alisher, Alihan, Ramazan, Askar, or Abilai can hook you up.

Sure is!

There is about a 0% chance I would of came up with 1 of those names myself!

My favorite one (tongue in cheek) is Ol- Bolsin. That is for a girl, and translates: You should have been a boy. How about that for some baggage??!!

 

[KatMark]

I knew if I DIDN'T give you permission it wouldn't of mattered anyways.

You are right -- it wouldn't have mattered. If I didn't love ya, I wouldn't give you such grief.

I'll just leave this one alone!

Isn't this a family board????

I need Edward RIGHT NOW!! I went bowling yesterday and am feeling it right in my neck! Oh God! Please not this again!!

You would adore Edward -- and he's cute too.

LOL I think Kathy would be willing to share Edward with you..

I am always willing to share; I share my hammock at the CSR, don't I?

I have all my pics ready for my update. It WILL happen tomorrow.... at some point.

If you say so, Timmy.

If only I could afford Edward's travel expenses!

I keep asking Edward to just move in with me...it would make my life so much easier. And if he did, I would personally fly him to see you.

You know I'd love that!! Although, I'm not sure Mike would appreciate it! LOL! He didn't mind though, when the ancient Thai lady worked her magic on the beach for $5 FOR AN HOUR!!! Best $5 bucks I EVER spent!!

I've told Mark that he will always have my heart, but Edward will always be my hero. We have a spare room, so what the heck?

I think I have been a bad girl and started something.

Another morning was upon us. The 'PLAN' was to let the kids sleep in as long as they want. Apparently Juliana thought that meant sleeping till 6:40am. I was up with her again.. I was asking myself 'when do I get a day to sleep in?' We went out and turned on the TV.

I was getting very frustrated and depressed about the pool heat- or lack there of. Also the shower curtain our bathroom had mold on it- Melody is highly allergic to mold. I decided it was time to call the management company. I called at 9 and left a message. 15 minutes later my phone rang and I got to speak to someone. I told them about the shower curtain and they told me they would send someone to change it today. I also told them about the pool. He said it was heated and was 85 on Saturday while they were at the house. I told him well there is no way it is 85 when we checked in and it surely wasn't 85 now. He said he would send someone to look at it.

When I hung up I thought he was trying to get out of looking at the pool, but I thought maybe it is something like turning on a switch or a breaker or something easy to get it working. I had the feeling that when we got back that night it would be fixed.

Everyone was moving about and Dave & I got the car packed. It took us a while to get out of the house but it was ok. We were driving into AK about 10:30 and got to the gates a few minutes later.

We took MJ with us and I thought it would be a great idea to get him in a picture. I told the photopass girl that I wanted to get MJ in a picture. She thought it was the funniest thing. I had to keep moving to the right, to the left, forward, back... I mean she was taking this very seriously. We weren't even in the park and this picture with MJ was taking forever. She finally had the angle and snapped some pics. When I got to see them, I think it was worth the wait.. and MJ did too.

She snapped 10 or more pictures of MJ. When it was time to get the family pics she snapped 1 each. I donno.

Once the kids saw MJ they wanted a photo shoot with him too.

We made it through the gates and it was potty break time. It felt like we were never going to get into the park. Finally, we were moving again heading towards the tree of life.

We had to document MJ's travels.

Our 1st order of business was to hit the safari. We walked over to it and it was a 30 minute wait. The FP return time was 12:15. We grabbed some FP's and tried to find something to do. We never walked the Maharajah Jungle Trek so we headed over.

We stopped to look at the back of the tree of life.

We made it.

Komodo Dragon.

Giant bats!

We were heading towards the tigers and stop for a pic. Juliana was pretending she was mad.

See she was fine.. and being silly.

We were looking all over for the tiger then we finally spotted him.

More silliness...

The kids.

It was really nice checking out the animals. Plus there wasn't too many people back there. We asked someone to take a group pic.

This pic speaks for itself.

It was just after 12 and a perfect time to hit the safari. Time to walk back towards Africa. We really were taking our time and the kids were fine one minute and whiny the next. The lack of sleep and just being constantly on the go was starting to take its toll.



Up next... What can we accomplish in AK?

 

[lillygator]

great update.

my camera did the same as your wife's. It's a canon. and silly me bought another canon although a lower version...did the SAME THING......!

 

[KatMark]

Great update, TIM!

I'm redoing the pics...I screwed up again!

Trust me, you guys will be the topic of discussion at every Photopass Photographer Christmas Party from now on.
"Hey, remember that guy with the MJ doll?"
"Oh my god! That was sooooo creepy!"

Once the kids saw MJ they wanted a photo shoot with him too.

Please Please PLEASE tell me why his pants are down.

We were looking all over for the tiger then we finally spotted him.

No, Tim. Leopards have spots. Tigers have stripes. Ask Juliana, I'm sure she can explain the difference to you.

We've all been there.


Can't wait to hear about the rest of your day. I'm sure it had to be a bit of a letdown after the excitement of yesterday. (If you're anything like Bambi, you're rolling your eyes and walking away right now, aren't you?)

 

[KatMark]

Okay...trying again. I LOVE these three pics of Juliana (and you and Mel don't look bad yourselves).

Ya think????

You probably are LOL-ing aren't you?

great update.

Thanks for stopping by!!!!!!

I have come to the conclusion that all electronics are poorly made. I do blame my DW for putting down in sand though. That wasn't the best decision.

It's OK... I forgive you.

"Oh my god! That was sooooo creepy!"

LOL you are probably right. Well at least I will be in a story that will live for eternity!

Please Please PLEASE tell me why his pants are down.

The velcro on the back of his pants doesn't stick anymore.. SERIOUSLY!

This doll is circa 1980's.. I think it is in great shape!

No, Tim. Leopards have spots. Tigers have stripes. Ask Juliana, I'm sure she can explain the difference to you.

Very true.. I should of asked her.

We've all been there.

They can only take so much... and we were really pushing them. Looking back it wasn't that bad... but in the moment...

Can't wait to hear about the rest of your day. I'm sure it had to be a bit of a letdown after the excitement of yesterday. (If you're anything like Bambi, you're rolling your eyes and walking away right now, aren't you?)

Nahhh I don't walk away.. I just laugh!!!!!! Good one!

OMG! I did NOT notice this! (someone said this was a family site, but we need some parental controls! )

Loved the last update. Too funny.

The pp pics are great, as always! Can't wait to read more
