Hey Mom, Check out my new Spider-Man move! (Last day & Final Thoughts - 1/10)

[Brave teacher]

Great update! I love that Cooper was able to tell that wasn't Nemo. He is very smart! Poor baby though, he really did look upset in that one picture! Sorry you didn't get to ride Nemo this trip.

Thanks! I thought it was so funny when he was telling us it was the wrong Nemo. He was really upset, but he got over it soon after when he noticed that Gill and Bubbles were in the next tank. We're okay not riding the clamshells. We know it will be there next time, and we are okay with that.

 

[Brave teacher]

Awwwwwwww, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Cooper's expression in that picture! He really knows Nemo, doesn't he?

Too bad you had to skip Nemo this time...I think we ended up skipping about as many things as we did. It was a strange year...

He sure does. He was not accepting that clown fish!

We are just the opposite. We did a lot more than we normally do and even stayed at the parks longer than we normally do. Definitely a strange year for us too.

 

[Brave teacher]

I feel like we could stand there and watch the dolphins in that tank forever.

on the fans---Isn't that how it always works?

They kept waiting for the dolphins to come into the tanks, but they never did. That was the first time we never were able to see them. We saw everything else though.

I was quick to point out to Bryan that I had to carry these fans that he so kindly bought for our children.

 

[Brave teacher]

Megan--don't feel bad--I haven't even started my TR yet!! Summer has been a lot busier than I expected!! Ok--Cooper is too cute pointing out all of the reason why that fish is NOT Nemo!! That's a VERY observant little boy that you have there!!

Thanks for the understanding Becky. I haven't been able to get on here as much as I did a few weeks ago.

Cooper is cute. Thanks! I am biased though. He cracks me up all the time. He pays a lot of attention to detail.

 

[Brave teacher]

LOL, aww, that is too cute Cooper said the clownfish wasn't Nemo! But it was the real Bubbles and Gill?

He was definitely disappointed in Nemo, but since Bubbles and Gill looked exactly as they were supposed to look he was satisfied.

 

[Brave teacher]

In all my years, I have never seen a line for the Clamobiles (sp?). I just know I would NEVER wait for that ride. Lol. I do like it but not that much. I've heard horror stories about the wait time. Great update!

We have never seen one either...till this trip. Bryan took one look at that line and said there was no way we were waiting. The wait times were not bad all week. I originally thought this would be a sign for things to come, but it was definitely pretty mellow all week.

 

[Brave teacher]

Great update! I think it's too funny that a three year old is schooling the rest of you on the "non-Nemo" fish. Ummm, I noticed the fans in your hand. Still think Cooper is a pretty smart kid for choosing the fan though.

Thanks! He has a tendency to do these things that surprise me like this. He is a smart little boy!

 

[Brave teacher]

Been a while since we did the seas...

Perhaps next trip....

That's the beauty of DVC. There's always another trip.

 

[Brave teacher]

Got a little behind...all caught up!

Aww...too bad the line for Nemo was so long! We love that ride but I'm not sure we would wait that long either. But..YAY for Turtle Talk! That's always so much fun!!

That's so cute about Cooper knowing that the clown fish wasn't Nemo!! Cute picture of Sam in Bruce's mouth! We always try to get that shot too!

I have a few TRs I need to catch up on right now.

Yeah, it's a nice little ride, but not worth the wait that was posted. We love Turtle Talk. I hope the boys will want to continue going when they get older. We love it so much.

We have a few shots we always try to get for every trip. That one in Bruce's mouth is one of them.

 

[Brave teacher]

We finished up with the Seas after watching the manatees for a while. We had plans to meet back up with the others at Club Cool. We had a little bit of time to spare, so we walked over to have some Photopass pictures taken.

Cooper wasn't interested in having his photo taken.

We walked over to Club Cool to meet Bryan's sister, and Sam saw something he REALLy wanted. Puffles! If you have a kid that plays Club Penguin, you know what I am talking about.

Bryan lets the boys buy one souvenir a day. Apparently, he did not think the fans counted as a souvenir. It took quite some time for Sam to pick the puffle he wanted. He finally settled on a yellow one. Cooper didn't want one, but he was ready to shop. Bryan left us in Club Cool to meet up with Stacey while he walked Cooper over to Mousegears AGAIN. For weeks before we left for the trip, Cooper kept saying he wanted to get a Jessie doll. He had a Buzz and a Woody already. He was trying to complete the collection. Jessie was next. While they went searching for a Jessie, we continued looking through Club Cool.

Madeline and Sammy tasted a few beverages. Madeline told me she knew better this time and would not let me trick her into trying Beverly again. I even have a picture of her last visit to Club Cool when I had her try Beverly.

She tried something else this time and didn't care for it too much.

Sammy on the other hand tried one and loved it. It was like Fanta.

A few minuted later, Bryan and Cooper returned to Club Cool. They had found a Jessie doll for Cooper! He was extremely excited to have her. Bryan thought it was strange to buy his son a girl doll, but Cooper eased his mind. Cooper reminded him that Buzz likes Jessie, so he needed to bring her back home for Buzz. Lol...

Sam sat with his puffle and fans waiting for Aunt Stacey to show up. They showed up a couple of minutes later and tried a few samples. By this time, we were getting hungry, and we were all ready to ride Soarin, so we all headed over to the Land and Sunshine Seasons.

Up next, what's for lunch and does Cooper get to ride?

 

[ladybugmom]

Cute PP pics!! Too funny that Cooper wanted Jessie so he could bring her home to Buzz!! That is too cute!!

 

[MickeyisBeast]

My younger cousins are addicted to club penguin, and love the puffles (;
Yay Cooper got a Jessie doll, cute!

 

[RachelNinja]

Even though it's not a "perfect" picture since Cooper wasn't interested, I personally think these are the pics that actually ARE perfect! It totally captures the moment, and seeing it will be such a reminder of Cooper's mood at the moment or even his personality! So cute!

Haha, so many of the kids in the 3rd and 4th grade of my school have Puffles! They always bring them to lunch.

 

[Believeinfairytales]

Too funny about Cooper and his Jessie doll! Now Buzz won't be lonely. I LOVE IT!

That first Beverly pic was hilarious! I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that before.

 

[Coach81]

Beware of Beverly!

 

[cbg1027]

I love the photopass pictures with Cooper turned away from the camera. It's funny and endearing, even if he's not looking happy like everyone else.

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hi Megan!

I finally had a few moments to get caught up. I've been slacking big time on keeping up with everyone. Summer is always so busy for us and it seems to fly by.

Sorry you didn't get to check out Nemo this trip but it will give you guys something fun to look forward to on the next trip. Joe and Lindsey took a backstage tour and got to swim in the Seas aquarium last year and loved it. Since the boys like the aquarium and the sea turtles so much you might want to consider checking it out on an upcoming trip-you have to be 8 and older so it might be awhile before you could do it as a famiy. Joe says it was by far the coolest thing he's ever done at Disney.

How funny that Cooper wasn't buying that the clown fish was Nemo. Too cute!

I love the picture of your sis trying Beverly on the last trip. That cracked me up.

Hope you have a great holiday weekend Megan!

 

[MHTeacher]

I love the pictures of Cooper turned around, not wanting his pic made. Those are memories for a lifetime!

 

[Brave teacher]

Cute PP pics!! Too funny that Cooper wanted Jessie so he could bring her home to Buzz!! That is too cute!!

Apparently I am raising my own little match-maker!

Yay Cooper got a Jessie doll, cute!

Randy's son, Zach, introduced Sam to Club Penguin. He loves it!

Bryan thought it was so strange that Cooper wanted Jessie.
