Oh MeMom and Jill I finally got caught up to the very end!! I did it! Well to the very moment and your last post, that is!!! NOW I can stay current!!! Great 4th of July extravaganza, seems like you did so much, with Epcot, and then BLT and visiting with WigD and Shocker! SO much fun!!! I really loved BLT and WigD is right, just being able to walk to the MK is worth it! I am glad you liked Contempo Cafe! It is one of our favorites, very relaxing area. The fireworks from the observation deck are fabulous, and the 4th of July fireworks probably amazing!!!
Brooklynn's hair is adorable!!! TOOO cute! Your weekend does look like so much fun! I will say I chuckled about the car show... my guys would never have left, and we would have spent the whole afternoon there.
Your EPCOT photos just kept squealing!! I cannot wait to be there again! I love Epcot. Thanks for all the photos!!!
Jim Shore, I have to get myself a Disney Christmas Santa. I think that will be my next Santa. But like WigD says -- I hate paying full price!!!
Hurray for more! I can't wait!
The next installment will come when Jill gets the next chance to do pictures. I've done all that she put up.
We will be in Epcot two weeks from today.
We did have a full day on the Fourth. Next year, as much as the Fourth was fun, I am hoping we can wait until later in July and be there on my birthday.
Yes, that situation MUST be rectified!
Trent texted that they went to Princess birthday party the other day, and Tanya took a picture of the food. She then looked at him and said, "I just took a picture of the food."

I think she surprised herself.
They are supposed to be going to Animal Kingdom with us on Sunday, the 17th. She's not much on walking around for a long time, so they may leave earlier than us or do more indoor attractions.
I know how short a 4 day trips feels. Tomorrow is my last full day of part I. Luckily I will be back Sun. and have 3 more. After that, my future is unknown but I hope to get back sooner than later.
You will love Ohana. It is back on my positive list. The server makes the meal and 2 great and 1 not so great is still great to me.
I will get a picture Mon. while I am there !!!! I couldn't get one when the guide pointed it out because we were on Segways and he would not let us.
I hope you are having a marvelous and magical time. Watching the over-the-wall construction will be interesting.
We are very much looking forward to 'Ohana. We also plan to do Mickey's Backyard BBQ next summer, and we'll have to do a breakfast somewhere, but that hasn't been decided yet. The first two are pretty set, I think.
I love Brooklyn's hair! So, so cute!
The fireworks view was awesome! So nice of W&S to share it with you!
They made us feel right at home.
I used to love the book fairs at school! And Brooklynn's haircut is adorable
I remember thinking of all of you at BLT watching the fireworks on the 4th. I ended up going to the roof of the college library (with a ton of other people!) to watch the ones in Boston with Charles, my brother, and two other friends. We went swimming at my boyfriend's aunt's, too, so we kind of had the non-Disney version of what you guys had
I know Christine told you we were going to try to meet up, and we actually finalized plans already! We're meeting up in Boston two weeks from today and going to the aquarium and hanging out around the Faneuil Hall marketplace area, since they're pretty close together. We're really excited!
You guys will have a grand time, and we will get to see the fun pictures!

Maybe we'll send you a picture from Animal Kingdom.
Wow, the view from the top of BLT is amazing. Wouldn't it have been nice to stay in that moment all night!?!
I actually looked at prices for a room for just one night at Poly so we wouldn't have to take so long to get back to Pop after the festivities, but it was just too much.
Brooklynn's haircut is so cute!
That church lady was a bit over-zealous. Don't think a 4 year old needs to think that hard about SIN! The look on church-lady's face said it all.
OK, so now I must visit the BLT one day. How nice of your disfriends to invite you over to share in the 4th fun. Fireworks pictures are so hard, atleast you can tell they are fireworks! I always end up with just video, my pictures are always so dark!
On the 18th we are hoping to do character spot, soarin, test track, and nemo before making our way to ws for food and wine. If there is a certain time that would be good to meet up in the seas that could work. BTW thanks Jill for adding me on facebook.
I think I would have been better off with video, too.
We will probably go to The Seas fairly early, so let's plan to meet there sometime in the morning.
I love your fireworks pictures! My Wishes pictures came out terrible. I actually got one that was pretty good...on my phone. The ones on my camera were awful!
We have some drawings on the wall next to the basement stairs but they're not from me. They're from whoever lived here before us There's some random writing on the back of my bedroom door too.
We just made a date for our DIS meet! October 17 We're going to the aquarium. My mom's gonna go do something with one of her friends who lives around there while I hang out with Meg. We both get to spend time with a friend so it works out great We were talking about how cool this is gonna be even though it's hard to beat our AK and MK meets. I said this can be our fake Epcot meet and we can pretend we're at the Living Seas
Edit: I just noticed that Meg already posted about that
I have kept Drew's little drawings, but before him, the walls were drawing-less. We've lived in that house nearly 24 years, so we've done most of the damage to it ourselves.
Give us a phone number, and we'll send you guys a picture from Animal Kingdom.
Cute pool pics. Yay for gifts on the 4th. i thought ur fireworks pics were just fine. Love Brooklyn's hair. SO cute! Glad you got to spend some time with your girls!
Next time I see my sweet girls, we'll be on our way to Disney World!
LOVE Brooklynns haircut! What a big girl!!
So special that you were able to be there for grandparents' day.
When you go to 'Ohana for dinner next summer, make sure you have a VERY empty stomach! Everything is soooo delicious from beginning to end and there's a lot of food. YUM! It's my favorite dinner!
That is the trouble - I am not a big eater, but rather a grazer. If they'd let me nibble through several hours, I'd get my money's worth, but in one sitting - not gonna happen.
What a fun night at Casa Wigd & Shocker!
And I forgot to comment earlier, but I LOVE Beooklyn's hair. So sweet!
And a personal announcement: I am going to be an aunt again!!! My brother & his wife (Caroline's parents) are expecting. We of course are over the moon.
have a great day!!
A new baby is always exciting news. Congratulations!
We visited more than one of Wigd and Shocker's 'casas' this summer.
