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

[Brave teacher]

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.

I know it's perfect. I just get annoyed when one or both of them do not want to cooperate for photos. Thanks!

 

[Brave teacher]

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.

He was very concerned about his Buzz having company. I thought it was too cute when he gave Bryan the explanation.

Yeah. She really should have known how bad it would be when Bryan positioned himself with the camera before she drank it. SHe even asked why we let her do that afterwards. Her fault for truting us, but it did result in a fantastic photo opportunity. That is the only picture I have ever seen like that though.

 

[Brave teacher]

Beware of Beverly!

So, did you ever try it? Last time we discussed it, you were still a Beverly virgin.

 

[Brave teacher]

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.

I know. That's not the last time you will see a PP picture of him like that either.

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!

At least I am not the only person lagging behind on my TRs this summer. I have some major catching up to do with Lisa's. LOL...

We're going to do it one day I am sure. We'll probably wait for Cooper to be old enough though.

He was very eager to point out what was wrong with Nemo.

I love that pic of her trying Beverly. I remember laughing so hard when it happened.

Have a great holiday weekend as well Leanne.

 

[Brave teacher]

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

They certainly are. He felt like turning his back to the camera quite a bit during our trip.

Apparently I am raising my own little match-maker!

So when can will Cooper be ready for human matchmaking? I'm looking!

I agree it is annoying when kid doesn't want to look at the camera for any photos. But it's just a pahse, maybe he'll be over it by the next trip. We have many photos from Disney with my sister hiding in my grandma's arms because she was terrified of the the fur characters! But some of the best pictures are of the first time she let a fur character interact with her - it's her and Minnie Mouse doing one of those finger to finger ET poses.

Hey there Megan! all caught up again!
great idea to go through the shop and skipping the clam mobile linewe did not not catch "turtle talk" this go round hopefully Ashton will still think it is all that when ever we do go back.

great pictures of the turtles, manatees, and other aquariums...love how you guys had to be schooled on the clown fish and Nemo not so look alikes that is great! way to go Cooper.

Ashton is getting Woody and Buzz for his bday in a few weeks I wanted to get Bullseye and Jessie, too! Danny said Bulleye can wait for Christmas and he doesn't need Jessie we'll see what Ashton thinks
I love how Cooper bought her so Buzz would have his girl too cute!

hope your summer is loads of fun...

He is obsessed with marriage right now. Since Bryan and I's anniversary on the 24th, he has been asking about who he will marry when he is a grown up. He is very interested in it right now. ALong with how he can't wait to kiss a girl.

I know I will look at these pictures later on we'll laugh about how is not looking at the camera in most of them. It can be frustrating in the moment though.

Hey Connie! I need to get caught up on yours as well.

It was so funny. He was serious about how he was upset about the wrong Nemo being there.

My little match-maker wanted to make certain Buzz had a girl he could play with at our house..

Summer is fun...but wet.

OMG That is too adorable!

That does totally suck! Our water around here is the pits and it totally eats up our water heaters way before they are supposed to die on us.

I know just what you mean.

 

[Brave teacher]

So, Bryan, my brother, and a friend replaced the hot water heater. It could have been a lot worse than what it actually was. They sweat the pipe and everything themselves. Cooper thought they were in the laundry room roasting marshmellows since they were using the torch for the pipes.

Tonight, ALisa and I are going to my SIL's baby shower. I'm sure we'll probably be bringing the boys to watch Despicable Me tomorrow morning. They are really looking forward to it right now.

I made my reservation for next summer's trip last week. For now, we are booked in a 1BR savanah view room at Kidani again. We are hoping to switch to a 1BR at VWL at the 7 month mark.

Update coming up...

 

[Brave teacher]

When I last left off what seems like forever ago, we were in Club Cool. After we finished up quenching our thirst, we headed back to the Land. We were hungry and then wanted to use our Soarin Fastpasses. By this time, it was about 1:00. Bryan and I normally leave the park at this time. We had a discussion with each other about what to do. Do we eat, ride, and leave? Do we stay after Soarin? We had an ADR at 6. We hadn't received the text yet about the room being ready, so we didn't want to risk going back to Kidani and not being able to get in the room still, so we decided to stay.

We walked over to Sunshine seasons to get lunch. We love this place because it has such a wide variety. Stacey had never used the DDP, so she needed some help going through the different bays. Being veterans of this place, Bryan and I separated, knowing exactly where we wanted to go. Bryan likes the rotisserie. He got the rotisserie chicken with double carrots and a butterfinger cheesecake for dessert. Madeline and I both got the Turkey and jack on foccacia. She got the chocolate mousse cake, and I got the creme brulee. They were all SOOOOO good. Our sandwiches came with a side, so Madeline and I each got a bag of Doritos as well. The boys each got the rotisserie drumstick, mashed potatoes, and grapes. Cooper really liked his chicken.

The table was kind of full.

Madeline's chocolate mousse cake

I didn't even eat the chips, so I gave them to Sam. He didn't want to eat the mashed potatoes, so it worked out for him.

After lunch, we walked over to Soarin to use our Fastpasses. Once again, Cooper was slouchy and couldn't ride. Bryan decided to hang back with Cooper, and he would ride with Sam afterwards. While we rode, Cooper played around and showed off some more Spider-Man moves.

Now, Soarin is my FAVORITE ride! I was so excited waiting in line. I squealed through the whoel thing. Sonny had never ridden it, so he was so amused listening to me. Sam is just like me though. We squeals with enjoyment through the whole ride. When we got off the ride, he was beyond excited to ride again with Bryan using Cooper's FP, so Bryan switched off with me. Stacey, SOnny, and the girls decided they would go on their way arounf World Showcase. They knew we had reservations at Coral Reef at 6 PM, so we agreed to meet up there by no later than 5:45.

Madeline and I hung out with Cooper while waiting for Bryan and Sam to finish.

He ran around in the FP distribution area. They were out of FPs for the day, so there was no one there.

When Bryan and Same finished riding, Sam told us he wanted to go to Figment next. So, off we went...

Next, the boys use their imagination...

 

[cinderella crazy]

I'm all caught up now. We really enjoyed Sunshine Seasons! I think we'll be going back there. I didn't know they had butterfinger cheesecake!! I'll have to try that next time.

 

[RachelNinja]

We've only eaten the rotisserie chicken once. Actually my parents and Matt split it while I had a tomato soup. It wasn't quite lunch, just something to have for an energy boost until we had lunch later on. Anyway, this was before I knew about everybody's love for the chicken and carrots from DIS, and I distinctly remember that they LOVED it and said it was so good! I think I'm going to have to go back and try it myself!

Of course, I'm a sandwich girl and also love the pics of those big sandwiches too! Stick anything between bread and I'm a happy camper. Haha, maybe Weird will order one and I'll order the other so we can each try.

I need to go catch up on your TR as well. We love Sunshine Seasons! It took me forever to get Bryan to try it,but he refuses to go to any other QS in Epcot now that he has tried it. He said the butterfinger cheesecake was really good.

Go ahead and give it a try. It really is good. I love sandwiches too. That turkey and jack was really good.
