Day 3 MGM!
Another morning EMH, much to my crowds dismay but we were so successful with all we had done the day before they put up with it. We pulled up to MGM by 8:10 and got through the bag check pretty quickly.
They were all hungry and the first place we saw was the sweet shop, you know those kids were sweatin' for some class A candy! But they needed proper breakfast foods so the lady at the register told us to go next door to Starring Rolls. I had to use the restroom so took the kids to the one in the Brown Derby and saw the brooms for the first time. They look really neat! I also hotfooted it over to TOT for some FP's. I had eaten a protein bar so I wasn't hungry and you know that means I was up and down in my seat 500 times telling everyone to HURRY UP! I'm surprised no one choked.
All of a sudden I heard the Power Rangers music coming down the road and got Cooper. This was his chance!!! The thing he wanted to do the most, all the months telling me how brave he was going to be and not cry this time, all the hours put into practicing his poses. What happened.....
He FAILED miserably and had MELTDOWN #2! I videoed them for later enjoyment. I also videoed Cooper. Mean Mom. We hit up the Great Movie Ride since we were next to it and I remember Tim (andLesley) had scored a dream early in the day on it. Besides, Bob is a huge movie buff. Cooper got a little scared in some parts but again, said how much he loved it when we got off. No dream, darn it! We headed over to TOT, stopping at the B and the B sign for our obligatory pic of Pierre and Bella. They've done this pose on each trip.
Here's our scary TOT faces!
Oh my gosh, will she actually do it?
Look at the wuss in the lower right corner, and the 2 people wondering what the heck is wrong with her
She did it and came off saying that it was BO-RING! To anyone who would listen to her. I swear.... I offer to get more FP for her and Pierre but she declines. Oh yeah? Not so tuff now, are ya? I, on the other hand, was shaking and nearly had tears coming down my face. She didn't like the preshow at all, not into the scary stuff but liked the actual ride. We headed over to the Backlot Tour area, making a few stops along the way. Cooper wanted a picture of him being eaten by this thing. Bossy Boots took over and directed the shots.
Star Tours had a 5 minute wait and at first we were going to leave out Grandpa and Cooper because C didn't want to do it. He pulled a little bravery out and changed his mind so we all got on.
He was doing some serious showing off in line and I was totally laughing my butt off. He acted like he'd been on the ride 100 times. We got on and all through the ride I heard "Mommy, I don't like this ride, Mommy I like it, Mommy I hate it, Mommy this is off the hook, Mommy this is scary, Mommy can we do on again" He bounced off and into the store trying to grab everything. We rushed them on outta there.
Cooper didn't want his picture on it. Bob took a quick trip to the west coast
We hit up the Backlot Tour and again didn't have to wait. Cooper got a little freaked out by the fire at first but was okay once that was done. As we waited to board our tram guess what I saw?
A DT member!!! I put on my best smile and prayed "pickmepickmepickme" Nope, didn't work. I'm pathetic.
Cooper got upset again at the canyon scene when the fire started but I kept telling him it was only pretend. Bella got all excited in the store when she saw all the Hannah Montana stuff. She also saw a movie clapboard that she really wanted. Too bad she bought those stupid jewels yesterday. Harumphhhhhh, she says.
YO JORDAN! These are for you! Notice the phone?
We went over to HISTK movie set so the kids could play a little and burn off some energy. Bob was in need of coffee again apparently. Hard to find it anywhere! The lady next to them was totally laughing her butt off when I took these pics!
I decided to go to Sci-Fi and see if we could get in a little earlier but no luck. I found out Lightning Mcqueen and Mater were coming out but Cooper still wasn't buying the character thing. I don't get it
. He wanted to see all the ones he had no interst in but his favs? No way! When we all got to Sci-Fi they jumped in the car for a ride then Pierre took off. Peace out my baybees!
Will I find him again? what happens in Sci-Fi? Stay tuned... this REALLY is my last installment for today, I gotta work and pay off my trip!
cannot wait to read the rest
I've been totally lazy about working out since I got back too.
I found the LAST Hannah Montana pin, for only $6.99. That sucker was on Ebay for $20-30, yay me! 
I asked a nice man to take a pic of me next to the big man on campus.
Sheesh!
That icecream is SO good! Can you believe Pierre and Bella did NOT like it? What is wrong with them? 
FYI- he declares it a pretty good cigar, nice and smooth. 
, I was so embarassed. I know it was supposed to be funny and I can laugh now but at that time.... no way. Anyways, the show was over and we decided to head back to CBR, we can't party all night anymore, can't hack it!
