Geen Yight - She's Out of Sight: A Trip of Leaps and Bounds

[lmillercrew]

WOOHOO!!! You're almost there! Almost time to go!!!!

 

[vamassey1]

I'm soooo hungry for some sweets after those pictures!

Bella looks so cute watching the parade. I remember when Danielle was little and like that too.

Congrats on being so close to your trip.

 

[Spartangirl]

Dancin' with you!

Yay for the teens...it will be here before you know it!

 

[Tinkergurl20]

Yay for the teens!!!!! We are right behind you and can't wait!!! I will be busy with work and the week before leaving for disney we are spending the week seeing specialists at the hospitals in Cincinnati...so we are going to be busy!!!
Hope the next couple of weeks speed by!!!

 

[MeMom]

Those Mickey and Minnie apples are adorable, I would never want to eat them!

I was cracking up when you said that Kay was explaining to everyone what you were doing. I have never met her but somehow I can just picture that!

Those apples are cute. They are classics. I just can't get past paying ten bucks for an apple. I know I will do that eventually, but for ten bucks, I'm getting a lot of pecans (or some other kind of nut) on mine!

Food shopping pics are the best shopping pics!

Glad to have you shopping along with us!
I will try to keep it in my mind for more food shopping pictures when we go back this time.

We would never think you lazy!!!
It sounds like fun actually!! I could kill a whole day watching youtube videos of anything related to Disney!!

Oh that candy store!!! I would buy fudge for souvenirs, but it would never make it home!! I just had a huge plate of nachos and now I'm craving chocolate after seeing those pictures!!!!

Nachos - that is one of Drew's favorites. He loves all Mexican food.
Trent calls him the Chinese Mexican.
He is neither Mexican nor Chinese.
He is Korean, and he does not like Asian food.

Isn't youtube a wonderful 'invention'???

She is in the Masters Program of Anita's school of enabling.


With Kay telling the story, they may have gotten the wrong idea.

I wonder if I can get any credit for that Masters work in my school system?

I should have stopped taking pictures and started filming Kay's explanation.
Better yet, I should have filmed the people listening to her.

 

[MeMom]

Oh, I cannot begin to tell you how much I am craving Disney fudge after seeing your pictures!

Bella enjoying the parade is adorable!!! Well, she is adorable no matter what she is doing, but you know what I mean...

Disney wedding proposals? I am so on that one the next time I need to avoid doing something!

You will enjoy the youtube videos. It's fun that we are in on the secret as we watch the surprised girls. They are just so sweet when they start covering their faces, and the guys are grinning from ear to ear, and the people who do not even know them are standing around applauding.

Maybe today could be fudge making day at your house.

I talk to Bella on the phone just about every day. She tells me she is ready to go to Pop Cenchy! She has only one ride in mind - her favorite hoe-sies.

For the teens.

Yeah for the teens

The teens!!!!

So exciting! Closer and closer it gets.

YEAH for the teens!!!

I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. It feels like just yesterday you were saying you had 7 weeks to go.

YAY for the teens! So excited for you guys!

WooHoo for teens! You are getting so close!

Hurrah for the teens!!

WOOHOO!!! You're almost there! Almost time to go!!!!

Dancin' with you!

Yay for the teens...it will be here before you know it!

Thanks for all the cheering. You guys are very good.
You should be on the DIStown cheering squad.
I had to cut out the dancers, though, to be under the limit in getting the posts in, but we did love all the dancing!

I am still pages behind but wanted to comment that I love the pics of the Dismeet! I would have loved to meet all of you.

The videos of Brooklynns graduation & then Bella singing the song is just precious!!

Love the souvie mugs you bought. Those are really cute!

Glad to hear you are out of school MeMom. I hope you are enjoying your time.

Now I have to try & get caught up...I am feeling that will never happen!

It takes a while to detox from Disney World and get readjusted/catch up to the real world. We totally understand.

For being in the TEENS!!!

Love the girls countdown!

Wow you will be very busy until the trip! The time will fly by!

Mmmmn...those sweet treats look yummy!

Cute placemat.

DMom update: she is doing much better...can't keep that lady down... Thanks for asking.

Do you want to be on the cheer squad, too?

I am glad your mom is going strong. We hope to meet you all one of the days, so tell her to be careful on her many modes of transportation.

You are soooo close now! Jill, you make me tired just reading about your schedule for the next 3 weeks I'm sure the weeks will fly by with all you have on your plate!

Don't you know it will?!?!? There is something every day!
She did a good thing by getting started on the packing.

Love the countdown - you're nearly there! And those days really are going to fly by with all you have on in the next couple of weeks

A nice short calendar will work well for the girls. Brooklynn can understand 2-3 weeks better than 2-3 months.

Yea for teens!
I cant remember if you guys are still going to be at WDW on the 8th?? The shuttle is "supposed" to go off that day I think at 11:43am. If you are still there go up into the Swiss Family treehouse and stand in front of the bedroom facing space mountain. The shuttle will fly out of space mountain. I did that for one of the launches with my DD and it was pretty cool. We just decided since it is the final shuttle we are driving up to see it. Already have trails end booked for dinner that night.lol.

We will be leaving sometime Thursday. John has to get back to work on a project, and the girls and I are going to Chattanooga for a wedding. Seeing the shuttle would have been cool. I hate that we will miss that!

We enjoyed our meal at Trails End. Maybe you can share some pictures of your mini-trip with us.

We are indeed on our last leg of this trip. Three weeks away from home is a long time to be gone. I love it here, but I miss my kids at home....

I would be ready to see my girls again after three weeks, too.

I'm soooo hungry for some sweets after those pictures!

Bella looks so cute watching the parade. I remember when Danielle was little and like that too.

Congrats on being so close to your trip.

Bella is really getting into the Disney stuff now. She recognizes the characters, and when I youtube Pop Cenchy, her eyes zoom in! She knows that place. Jill said she was helping to pack her 'tootcase' yesterday.

Yay for the teens!!!!! We are right behind you and can't wait!!! I will be busy with work and the week before leaving for disney we are spending the week seeing specialists at the hospitals in Cincinnati...so we are going to be busy!!!
Hope the next couple of weeks speed by!!!

I am so glad to be getting a break from work. I am getting a lot done at home. Yesterday, I started working on cleaning out the barn. The garbage men are going to be glad when I go back to school.

I hope all of your hospital stuff works out well for you. Keep us posted.

Love that countdown calendar especially since it is in the teens!!!

We were ready to leave the park, but Brooklynn reminded Jill that they were supposed to have one last ride on Big Thunder Mountain. So, we rode the train back to that area, and Jill, Kay, and Brooklynn rode while I stayed back with Bella.

We saw Mickey and Minnie, but we didn't get in the line.

Inside the Splash Mountain gift shop.

After the ride, we made our way out of the park and went to Caribbean Beach to meet Trent and Tanya for dinner.

Trent had gotten his hair buzzed, and I did not like it. He has pretty hair, but he likes it way short just for ease of taking care of it.

He said the guard at the CBR gate grilled them about getting in, and I told him it's because he looked like a skinhead.

He was also dressed in all black (his uniform) and looked a little like a security guard himself.

We like the food and the atmosphere here.

Good stuff!!!

The place to shop while in the Caribbean.

The girls would love this pool.

I hope to stay here a night or two sometime.

We spent a couple of minutes in the gift shop.

I had ordered this chef's hat from Disneyshopping.com.

I wish they had them in a child's size. I would have gotten a bunch for whenever we do a cooking activity with the cousins.

A couple more food court pictures, just for reference for those who have not visited CBR.

After that, it was back to Pop for bedtime.
The next day, we would have to leave this wonderful place.

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

Oh I am so excited to see CBR in this post!!! I can't wait to stay there. I think the food court area looks soooo neat! I hope we love it as much as I think we will.

Jill, your countdown calendar is very cute! And yay for the teens!!!!!! Wish I could say that, but unfortunately, my busy season is just beginning. Today is my first day of keeping kids all day for the summer. Pray for me.

I will have to disagree with you on one thing though.... I actually like Trent's hair. I have always been fond of a very clean cut looking man. This new "shaggy" hair trend going right now drives me nuts! Every time I see a head like that I feel so compelled to go after them with some shears!

 

[DWGal210]

In the teens?!?! Woo hoo!!!
I am starting to make my list of not-to-forgets....and its getting pretty loonnggg.

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Love the pictures of Bella watching the parades! Sure hope she will soon like the Characters.

Wow, I have never seen the MK fudge. I must correct that wrong this trip! The boys would love that!

The Caribbean Beach Resort looks so nice! Jeremy would love that pool.

Oh, we are getting soooo close!!!! I can hardly wait!!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Hey MeMom! Well, with my trip to MN followed by our cruise I was only about 35 pages behind here I had to skim a lot of the chatter but I'm all caught up now, just in time for you to leave again - I can't believe your trip is so close!

 

[sunny_stace]

Ooooh! Woot Woot for being in the teens! You guys are so close! Time will fly between now and then! I'll be heading to Dairy Queen on Wednesday for a double-digit celebration myself! You guys have so much going on too....wow!

My mum is very similar to Kay in her being embarassed by the photos I take. Last year when we would we be having a meal and I would take photos I would hear her whispering "people are looking at you..."

It was very nice heading back to CBR! It was a very nice resort, I bet you guys would really enjoy it! And the girls would love the pool! I liked that the souvenier shop was big...

How was your roof assessment? We have to get ours done this fall too.

 

[reelmom]

You are so close now. Time will fly by. I know it will for Jill. She is a busy, busy lady. It makes me tired reading all that she does from week to week.

 

[vamassey1]

Dinner looked great! I've never been her but really need to check it out.

 

[MeMom]

Love that countdown calendar especially since it is in the teens!!!

I'm growing rather fond of it, as well.
I'll see it in person Wednesday.

Oh I am so excited to see CBR in this post!!! I can't wait to stay there. I think the food court area looks soooo neat! I hope we love it as much as I think we will.

It is a cool food court. You definitely get the tropical atmosphere.

I've done morning care and afternoon care at school, church camps, and school summer camps, babysat in-home nights and weekends, and I teach in an elementary school with nearly 700 kids....I feel like am fairly kid-proof and nothing could really surprise me. Kids are funny, creative, and energetic. You guys have fun!

I don't like long, shaggy hair so much, but I do like him to have more hair than in those pictures. It's a little longer now, so I like it better. Not that I count, but I did tell him I would make his favorite banana pudding if he grew it out some.

In the teens?!?! Woo hoo!!!
I am starting to make my list of not-to-forgets....and its getting pretty loonnggg.

I rolled up some t-shirts yesterday and put them on top of the suitcase. I dress so casually, so getting my clothes together is simpler than getting all of my extras together.

Love the pictures of Bella watching the parades! Sure hope she will soon like the Characters.

Wow, I have never seen the MK fudge. I must correct that wrong this trip! The boys would love that!

The Caribbean Beach Resort looks so nice! Jeremy would love that pool.

Oh, we are getting soooo close!!!! I can hardly wait!!

Just be sure you taste the fudge before you buy too much. It's good, but they come in big, thick blocks, and one piece can go a long way!

The excitement is building, for sure!

Hey MeMom! Well, with my trip to MN followed by our cruise I was only about 35 pages behind here I had to skim a lot of the chatter but I'm all caught up now, just in time for you to leave again - I can't believe your trip is so close!

We're looking forward to hearing about that cruise, too.

Ooooh! Woot Woot for being in the teens! You guys are so close! Time will fly between now and then! I'll be heading to Dairy Queen on Wednesday for a double-digit celebration myself! You guys have so much going on too....wow!

Dairy Queen sounds like an excellent celebration treat!

I'm not a bit embarrassed at taking pictures of food and merchandise.
I guess I would contain myself if I were sitting at Victoria and Albert's,
but since that's not likely to happen
(I refer you to the rolled up t-shirt comment from a minute ago)
I'm pretty much okay with taking pictures of our food and not even noticing the looks I am getting.

I think the roof wasn't as bad as they thought.

 

[dancin_princess]

I already decided that if I would get the chocolate, I'd fill the empty wrappers with Styrofoam or cardboard.

I'm craving Disney Fudge and Disney Chocolate Strawberries.

Wahoo for being in the teens!!!

 

[tinkgurl]

Wow MeMom, you sure are getting close now! I hope you have a good trip!!!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Love the pics of the Carribean Resort!

I havn't made it over there yet...maybe this trip. It looks so pretty!

I get such a kick out of Bella's vocab...she is just the sweetest little thing!

Thanks Sunnystace ....you got me craving a Dairy Queen chocolate dipped cone....
I missed out on my "double digit" celebration Saturday....worked all day and then went in for a coworker that night.
It was exciting to see that number though!!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

You are so right, the CBR pool looks wonderful! I'd like to stay there with the kids sometime just for that pool. I had to laugh at your skinhead comment to Trent. lol!

Great countdown Jill! That's so soon!
