[gellybean]

Oh I'm so sorry you missed wishes again I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Ohana looks like so much fun and the food looks delicious. It is on my must do list for next time!

Thanks ! I was keeping fingers crossed for me too! Gotta do 'Ohana- it's a lotta fun and the bread pudding is ooooooooooooooohso good!

Thank goodness for Mr. Incredible! The bread pudding was by far the best part of 'Ohana and it was the best dessert i had on our trip, too!

Poor lil Jack-jack all tuckered out. i'm sorry you didn't get to see Wishes

"Warn" us? BRING ON THE PICS!

Pics to come soon I hope!! Glad you enjoyed the bread puddin too!!! I was pretty thankful for Mr. I that night for sure!

I have a new found love for DHS from our January trip as well! We had such a magical day there - so nice and smooth. It was my least favorite (and Joe's favorite ), but now I cannot pic a least favorite. I love them all for different reasons!

And Ohana----------yuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmm! I totally PIGGED OUT in November there (so much that I am pretty certain it is what made me sick! I ate myself sick!) and yes, the bread pudding-AMAZING!

I am so happy to read what a wonderful day at DHS and at Ohana you had! That so stinks about missing Wishes again though! I really, really hope you were able to catch it on your MK day. What sweet moments with your DH taking Jack-Jack so you could enjoy the bread pudding and then apologizing!

It was a really great day! Lots of craziness and sweetness all around. for new found DHS and 'Ohana bread pudding lovers!!

I really really hope I caught Wishes too!

Wow, you have a great report started here! I hope you don't mind another reader. You are hilarious, I've been reading the whole thing throughout my day here. I can't wait for more!

Thanks!! (proof bribery does work!) Course I don't mind another reader! I always want more more more!!!! More to come soon I hope! Thanks for joining in and



An update to come soon I hope everyone! Things are nuts around here. We're trying to buy the house we live in (lonnnnnnnnnng story) so I've been juggling all the balls that are buying a house etc. Thanks for hanging in there with me!!

Random trivia question: Can anyone tell me where I got the title of my TR from: Hop, Skip and a Week?

Aha! It's an episode of Sex and the City!

 

[gellybean]

Aha! It's an episode of Sex and the City!

YAY!!! You are correct madam!!! You win a




I uploaded pictures today to start work on Day 5 today, but Jack-Jack got sick (er). He's been having a running nose and cough for about a week now, but no fever, and had been getting better. Less running, less coughing.

This afternoon he started throwing up. So I'm afraid there goes my update. I was doing good to sign in to let y'all know!

Hopefully this is just a quick little 24 hr virus and not something that drags on for a week like the last time he got a stomach virus ... course that stomach virus was accompanied with Scarlet Fever so I'm thinking it was a fluke!!

I'll update as soon as I can everyone!!

 

[lazydoxy66]

I'm a Sex and The City lover too! My DH even watches reruns with me.

Hey don't worry about us. We'll be here when you are ready. It's been busy at my place too. I just got over the flu also. Carp happens.

Your TR always brings a smile to my face. Everybody seems to be having such a good time. You have some wonderful moments caught in digital. Ohana's looked like fun. I'm glad Mr. I came to your rescue so you could have your favorite dessert! What a guy!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Just found your TR today and read the whole thing. Greatly enjoyed it, thanks! Looking forward to the rest.

I'm a HUGE fan too!!! I own all the DVDs, cried at the movie, etc. I'm a sucker for SATC! Mr. Incredible will watch it with me some, though he claims to not be watching.

Thanks for hanging around!! Ick @ having the flu. Thank goodness so far we've managed to avoid the flu. CARP does happen !

Just found your TR today and read the whole thing. Greatly enjoyed it, thanks! Looking forward to the rest.

Thanks and !!

I'm gonna try to work on an update today y'all. Jack-Jack is better, so I'm guessing it was just a 24-hr thing, Thank God!

 

[gellybean]

Finally! Thanks for hanging in everyone. Everything is taken care of for buying the house, now it's just a matter of time until closing. Jack-Jack woke up yesterday as if nothing had happened the night before, though he was still a little puney.

My oldest sister and I took the boys to IKEA yesterday and I made an impromptu purchase - a new desk and shelving unit for our office. We're hoping to get new carpet soon after the house closes, so we figured we should paint while we had the old desk and shelves out and had old carpet to drip on! So we had quite a productive day yesterday! My house is still a disaster area with the old desk in pieces laying in the hall way and books off the shelves. There's no point bolting the new shelves to the wall when we'll have to unbolt them before the carpet install, and there's no point in loading down the bookshelves if we're just gonna have to pull them out again so the office is in limbo for now.

Here are some pictures!

Before-kinda. The recliner has been moved to the living room and you can't really see the ginormous corner desk that was way past it's time and a major space waster!

Jack-Jack helping my sister paint!

...and helping her read the directions.

Dash loved helping too! He got to use the rubber mallet some and carry pieces to us, hand us screws etc. Thankfully Jack-Jack was sound asleep by the time assemble started.

After pic from the doorway.

After pic from inside the room.

It's definitely still a work in progress. We have to do some touch ups where you can tell we didn't tape off the corners. I'm using this as an opportunity to donate some books and get rid of some clutter! I try not to packrat but I do keep some things that I will never need again! TRASH!!

I found the greatest chair at Target that's a white fabric with that same Tiffany blue color pattern all over it. But the chair costs more than the shelves and desk combined! Not gonna happen! But man would it be pretty! LOL

I'm gonna get some pictures of the places we've traveled printed in 8x10 black and whites, probably some pictures from this Disney trip, and hang them on the blue wall!

But enough about my little project! I'm so just excited I had to share! I'm an office supply freak! I love pens and notebooks and cubbies and cool post-its. So I'm really stoked to get my new office all set up!



And now... an update!!!


We woke up Sunday morning on time... which was amazing. All of us were up and ready to take on Animal Kingdom. We headed down for breakfast and then met Honey and Frozone and were off.

Jack-Jack sat with Mary Poppins and Honey on the bus ride over.

We arrived at AK around 10:30am. As we arrived there was an airplane sky writing messages from a local church.

The first thing was a happy face to get our attention. Then the plane started writing Jesus Loves You. I'm guessing it was a plane hired by a church. Could have been a man named Jesus proposing to someone!

The boys waiting on me to take pictures! You can see the sign I made for the stroller so we could pick it out of the crowd easier!

We stop to get a picture of Dash in front of the sign and then we head toward the entrance.

He was in a mood to get his picture taken today. Fickle pickle! Check out the sunglasses I'd gotten him at DHS the day before!

It was pretty crowded, plus I think the design of the park, shooving everyone into one of two paths, makes it feel that much more crowded. We walk toward Dinoland, park the family and Mr. Incredible and I take everyone's tickets to get FPs for EE. Thankfully they were available with a return window for 3:30pm. This was great... except that we had wanted to leave early this day to get a nap before a night at DTD. We knew we needed to cover everything else we wanted to cover before our FP window opened so we could ride it last. We headed back to Dinoland the same way we had come, via the path by Nemo, and rode Dinosaur with everyone except Mary Poppins and Jack-Jack. He had fallen asleep really quickly this day, before we even made it over to Dinoland in the first place. Mary Poppins who isn't big on rides anyway, offered to sit with him.

We had to ride Dinosaur standby since we'd used up all our FPs on EE. It was about 20 mins but Dash enjoyed the queue on this one a lot and it gave us some time to visit with Honey and Frozone.

Dash really loved this one. Didn't scare him nearly as much as it had the first trip. Mr. I on the other hand didn't like this one so much. He didn't like the dinosaurs roaring and jumping out at him.

The exit is a long way from the entrance on this ride. Along the way we ran into some characters! We stopped for a photo but I didn't have my camera with me! It was in Jack-Jack's stroller. Thankfully Honey had her camera with her. I've emailed her a request for the files and will update with the pictures as soon as I get them. Sorry I didn't think to ask her for them sooner!

We make our way back to where we had left Mary Poppins and Jack-Jack to find him wide awake and cruising the benches. I struck up a conversation with a lady and her two kids sitting on the next bench eating churros! They made me want churros the rest of the trip!! We were in the middle of talking and her husband just goes " We need to go now!" and grabbed her hand and pulled her off the bench. It didn't appear that there was any kind of emergency, she didn't look worried or surprised by his disclaimer. I was a bit taken aback by this... I mean we were in mid conversation and she was into the conversation as much as I was. It wasn't like I was talking AT her. I've had that happen a few times, people just talk at you and you are trying to not engage for whatever reason and they just don't get the hint... but this lady was talking as much as I was. Until her husband decided it was time to leave, without so much as an excuse me or anything.

OK I'll get off my soap box.

Mr. Incredible and I took Jack-Jack to the family bathroom back over by the spinning coaster that I'm too lazy to look up the name for, and realized there was no changing table in there. It was great for both Mr. I and I to be able to go into the same restroom so I could have some help but the lack of changing table was a bummer. We laid the stroller all the way back, lifted up the lap tray and changed him in his stroller! Problem solved!


We meet back up with our party again and take leave of Dinoland. We head around the hub to the path to Africa. We stopped along the way several times... I could't quite get the message across that we'd have time to kill AFTER we got our FPs for the Safari. So we stopped at every single animal habitat from Dinoland to Africa. I stressed at this point- another way big groups can cause problems.

They weren't bothered by us at all!

Showing off Jack-Jack's coordinated outfit for the day.

Dash really likes the strollers at AK- CAMO!

We finally make it to Africa and the standby wait is only 30 mins. The return time for the FP is in 30 mins. Most of the group thought we should get in line and wait... 30 mins is 30 mins right?

I have to explain to the rest of the group that imo, it's better to wait 30 mins to get in line, than to wait in line for 30 mins. They got it eventually.

So we grabbed FPs for everyone and instead of sitting at a nice picnic table and having a snack, the rest of the group decides to take on the Pangani Trail. Now my injuries were better than they had been right after I fell, but I was still popping ibuprofen every four hours like clock-work. Extra walking on a fairly hot, humid day wasn't exactly what I wanted to do at that point. But I went along with the group. Mr. Incredible, Jack-Jack and I didn't take as long to go through it as everyone else in our party did but we did see the bachelor gorilla group.

Mean looking thing isn't he?

We sat on a rock bench and waited for the rest of our group to catch up. I think FGM had Dash and Mary Poppins was walking through with Honey and Frozone. By the time we all got through the trail it was time to ride the safari!!

Up next!!! Would we see anything on the Safari or was it too late in the afternoon? Would Jack-Jack like the bumpy ride? Would we get to see Lion King-FGM's favorite? Would Mr. Incredible like EE as much as I do?


Stay Tuned!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

So glad to hear Jack-Jack is feeling better!!

We got almost that same unit from Ikea just about a week ago! We got the smaller shevles-just two columns of boxes.

Anyway, we LOVE the desk and shelves! I'm typing at my laptop at it right now! We got a chair from there, from the "As Is" section for half price - it's bright red and very comfy, and the only problem was that the base with the wheels was screwed on backwards. DH fixed that and viola! perfect chair!

Now, onto the update! The pic of Dash in front of the sign is great-what a cutie. Sounds like a start of a good day at AK! I've never seen Lion King, so I hope you did so I can learn a bit more about it! I also hope Mr. I LOVED EE! What is there not to love?!?!

 

[faerieprincess]

i love the shelves, and that blue is great! Black and white prints will look awesome on there!

i'm so glad Jack-Jack is feeling better

Great update, twinnie! Sounds like a lot of walking so far at AK! So far you've ridden the one ride we didn't that i wish we had

i hope Mr Incredible loves EE and you get lots of animals on the safari!

That's so funny that you guys got the same Ikea unit. Small world!! I didn't even intend to buy anything that day... but fell in love with the set and can't wait til I get the office done the way I want it to be. Kudos on buying a chair half off that hubby was able to fix so easily!! I bargains!!

What's not to love indeed?!!

I've got the three pics picked out so that's my next project! I'm glad Jack-Jack's feeling better too!!

Lots of walking that day... and night!!! Awwww that you missed Dinosaur! It's fun!



I'm going to try to get an update today out everyone. Someone needs to send 'life' a memo that I'm trying to write a TR on the DISboards. It's been another insane week. Mr. Incredible was in a wreck Wednesday night. Thankfully he wasn't hurt and no one else was involved. He spun out on a curve during a rain storm (and it hadn't rained here in months so all the oil was built up on the roads). He spun around about 8 times he thinks and went into the medium. The car came to a halt about 2 feet before going into uncoming traffic. It was a scary ordeal for all of us and first and foremost we're just grateful no one was hurt.

On the flipside, the car was an older model that wasn't covered completely on insurance, just liability, and the body shop can't get it into gear so we're fearful that the transmission somehow got messed up when he came to a stop on the grassy medium. So we may be looking at purchasing another car.... at the same time we're purchasing the house!! That's a whole lot of purchasing!!

I'm trying not to worry too much about this, but the reality is it may interfere with our Disney Anniversary Trip plans. That's life right?

I know if we have to cancel this trip, we'll get to go back again eventually but it's a hard pill to swallow. I'm trying to hold off on officially popping my bubble. A lot can happen between now and August when the package is due to be paid off!!

Anyway!! Enough stuff!! I'm gonna start working on that update!!!

 

[gellybean]

When I last left you we were heading into the FP line of Safari. I love the fact that we can use the stroller in this line up to a certain point. Disney planners!! We park the stroller and make our way down the last little bit of queue before getting on. This was the only ride of the day that we ALL rode. Honey, Frozone and Mary Poppins were on one row and FGM, Dash, Mr. I, Jack-Jack and myself were on the row behind them.

Mary Poppins watched the wild animal Jack-Jack almost more than the safari animals!


The ride was enjoyed by everyone. Mr. I's family really enjoyed it, especially. They are big time animal people. Mary Poppins was very impressed, which is saying something since she's really not into rides. We saw a TON of animals!! I'm guessing because it was winter they were out more during the day. Dash was really into it, though he kept complaining that he couldn't see. We finally put him on Mr. I's lap so he was high enough up and on the edge of the vehicle.

I swear that is how I felt getting out of the bathtub while pregnant with Jack-Jack!

The hippo decided to drip dry!

Momma and baby! I love how you can see the difference in their coloring!

I thought Texas Longhorn cows had impressive horns! Wow!

Shaky zoom picture of an elephant!

Everyone went crazy over the baby elephant

I love that we caught this big guy in mid-yawn!!


Jack-Jack was fine for the first part of the ride, but toward the end he got major antsy. It was hard to keep him happy and settled on such a bumpy road. I broke out a Nutragrain bar and he ate that. Mr. I took most of the pictures while I handled Jack-Jack. We took his shoes off, we let him play with our cell phones! We tried everything. Thankfully he didn't get vocally fussy until the end of the ride. As soon as we got off the ride, we bought him a bottle of water and poured it into his bottle and he downed it. Poor little guy was just thirsty!!! He was trying to tell me! I just wasn't about to pop the goods out on the safari ride!!

We made our way out of Africa (ha!) and around to Yak and the Yeti CS. I had Yak and the Yeti reservations made at one point and cancelled it because we eat a lot of chinese food at home and I had a lot of other reservations I wanted to keep that weren't similar to something that we had at home, plus I was thinking that since there was a cs too we could get a taste of the goodness without spending a whole lot o' money!

I knew Honey and Frozone were about ready to call it a day but they decided to go eat with us first. We arrived and went to grab a table first. Mr. I stayed in line to order for us but managed to forget a few things, so I ended up going back to order the fried rice and bottle of water he'd forgotten. The line was insane. There were people standing around waiting for food and getting a bit impatient (understatement). They were pushing and trying to grab food that wasn't their's. I finally got my order of chicken fried rice and bottle of water and headed to our table.

I have to say... I don't know if it was the fact that they were having a bad day or what, but the food was a major disappointment. The honey chicken I had gotten was ok, but the way they pre-pack the rice on the bottom, the rice was WAY over done. I had been excited to try the egg rolls and they were ok, but they tasted like any frozon variety I've had before. The chicken fried rice tasted like nothing I can think of. It was dry and hard and pretty much tasteless. I felt bad for the rest of the family members I'd dragged to eat here and was thankful they'd enjoyed the meals the day before because this way didn't live up to my expectations at all. The one bright spot was the french fries. Go figure!!

Mary Poppins decided to head back to the hotel with Honey and Frozone and we were going to stay at the park and use our FPs for EE. Mary Poppins, Honey and Frozone were going to do the other trail..... the tiger one. FGM stayed with us and we pushed our way over to EE.

We stopped to take some pictures in front of THE mountain!

FGM and Dash! I have a similar picture from our 07 trip!

Mr. I and myself. Why do I always turn sideways in pictures!!? You can see where all the fried chicken and rice went to from lunch!

We parked FGM, Dash and Jack-Jack on a bench and went to use our FPs. I had 7 passes!! We were all set to ride it just us the first time then with Dash once and then us again !

We went through the ride the first time and it was great! As good as I remembered, but I don't think Mr. I was feeling it as much. I think after RnRCC it was a bit of a let down. He was willing to ride it again but I could tell he wasn't as enthused as I was. After riding it this time with Dash on my mind, I didn't think he should ride this one either. I was scared it would scare the poo out of him and didn't want to traumatize the kid. I started feelin bad about just leaving my mom on a bench with the kids long enough for us to do the ride three times. And I was feeling bad that Mom was going to miss FOTLK, which is her most favorite thing. It was 4pm at this point and I decided since Mr. I wasn't really into EE and since the last FOTLK show was at 4:30pm we could make it!! So we head back to the bench, Mr. I still thinking we're going to get Dash, and I see a family in the standby line. I ask them how many in their party and they say five and I give them our FPs. They look at me like they have no idea what I'm handing over. So I explain to them what they are. It didn't feel as disney magical as I thought it would. Maybe I expected too much but they just looked like oh ok. Oh well. Mr. I felt bad that I hadn't gotten to ride it more than once but it was ok. I knew I'd be back and needed to think of other people in my party. So we head off to meet up with mom, Dash and Jack-Jack. We find Jack-Jack playing in water. FGM had poured a little bit of bottled water into the stroller's feeding trays and he was enjoying splashing in the little puddles.

I tell mom my idea and she's excited. Bless her heart, she had been perfectly willing to give up FOTLK for us but was excited at getting to see her favorite show afterall!! We start the trek from EE to FOTLK.


And I swear we would have made it, except....



I forgot about the parade.



By the time we stayed on the other side of the ropes, wiggled our way through, managing to see most of the parade along the way, made our way all the way back to the safari area to cross the parade route to get back up to the front of the park, all the way down the Camp Minnie Mickey path, we missed it by minutes.

My feet were killing me, not only from the injury but from walking all over creation, I was upset we'd missed my mom's favorite thing and we had to WALK all the way back out of Camp Minnie Mickey area, out to the front of the park. Naturally Jack-Jack picked then to fall asleep in his stroller, when we would have to get him out of his stroller to get on the bus!

Another sleeping Jack-Jack pic!!

And another!

By this time the parade had ended on one side of the park and the masses were out. We made our way to the stroller station, dropped off Dash's stroller and headed toward Pop's bus stop. We waited quite a while for a bus. By this time it was 4:45pm. I did get a seat on the bus, holding Jack-Jack. By this time in the trip, Dash had decided it was more fun to stand up on the bus than sit, which was fortunate, because there were no more seats and my lap couldn't handle both of the boys!

We got back to the hotel and made our way to our room. Mary Poppins was asleep in her bed and we all stayed in our room to let her sleep.


Jack-Jack and Mr. Incredible encountered a critter outside of our room when they got to the door.

The ducks just waddled there, nonplussed.


FGM had promised Dash he could swim that afternoon, so she took him down to the kiddie pool so he could get in without an adult. None of the adults wanted to get in the big pool! But Dash seemed happy enough to play in the kiddie pool. I changed out of my tennis shoes and into my crocs to walk down to the pool to get some pictures. Those crocs felt so good after wearing tennis shoes for five days, that my feet were in heaven.

This one cracks me up! I have no idea what look he was going for but it's hillarious!

We got Dash out after about 30 mins and headed back to our room to get him in the tub! Mary Poppins was up by the time we got back, and FGM decided to lay down. As soon as she laid down she said she realized how tired she was, so she opted to stay at the hotel that night, which I totally understood! I think secretly she was being sweet and letting Mr. Incredible's side of the family have a little family reunion. We had plans to meet Honey and Frozone at DTD around 7pm and it was their last night in the world!



Would we manage to navigate our way to DTD in the Mary Poppins mobile successfully? Would we find Honey and Frozone? Would they like WPE as much as I do or would it be a repeat of lunch?! Would I get to all the shops I wanted to get to!?

Stay tuned!!

Yayayayayayayayayayay awesome update twinnie!

i'm sorry you only got to ride EE once PLUS missed FOTLK! i'm also really sorry your Y&Y CS was subpar - two weeks later when we went, it was deLICious.

Funny how people who don't know about FPs think you're just handing over a piece of paper, and not a valuable commodity!!

Yikes about Mr I's car accident!! i so hope you won't have to postpone your trip! But i'm glad no one was hurt!

TYTYTYTY!

Only riding EE was ok. I was pretty wiped by that point so I don't think I was enjoying it as much as I would have a lil more rested.

I read your review of Yuk N Yeti before I wrote mine and thought it was funny that we had such opposite opinions. Let's hope it was just a bad day when we were there, cus otherwise... we don't have twinnie connection with chinese food!!

Yikes about Mr. I's car accident is right. It was s c a r y! It could have been a very serious accident! So as frustrating as all the financial ramifications are, we're trying to focus on that!!



I'm heading out of town today for four days to visit my parents and they don't have internet!! Shock and horror I know!
So I'll be mia (not that it's all that unusual ) for a few days! Hope everyone has a great week and don't be afraid to post those comments all you lurkyloos!!

Disney wishes!!!

 

[karajeboo]

Just got caught up on the last two updates. Hope Mr I is okay! Sometimes it takes a couple of days for the soreness to kick in. And so sorry about the car - hopefully it won't affect your plans! But you have a great attitude. And you're right, sometimes life just gets in the way, huh?

Great pics, too!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Fabulous updates!
I'm so sorry you missed FOTLK.

I'm glad your DH is OK after the accident. I hope you can still do your trip in the fall.

 

[brookelizabeth]

That is so scary about the car accident! I'm glad to hear Mr. I is okay - hopefull your Annivesary trip will be okay as well....

I LOVE the pics of Jack-Jack sleeping. SO adorable! Bummer to hear Mr. I wasn't over the moon with EE, but at least he rode-and it doesn't sound like he hated it, just wasn't all that impressed, eh? I find it more impressive than RnRC, which I think is too short...but in the dark, rockin' music, etc. it is still awesome!

That stinks about missing FOTLK, I knew we walked way over there too and missed the show on our November trip. It's such a haul over there! Blah. I've never seen FOTLK, maybe in December....I hear it's awesome!

Note made about Y&Y CS - the TS was good, but I've heard several poor reviews of the CS. I want to try Flame Tree, sounds so yummy!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I had to come back and catch up on TRs. (It's been one of those months.) Great updates! I'm sorry your mom missed FOTLK though. That has got to be my favorite show. That's so great that you love EE. I get pretty bad motion sickness so I've avoided it so far. I'm such a chicken. LOL! Love the colors of your new office wall!

Mr. I is okay! Thanks for asking. He was pretty shaken up by the scare of it all, we both realized quickly how much worse it could have been, but thankfully he was fine and no one was hurt! No soreness, that he complained of at least. Life did get in the way but we're dealing with it!

Fabulous updates!
I'm so sorry you missed FOTLK.

I'm glad your DH is OK after the accident. I hope you can still do your trip in the fall.

Thanks!! I'm sorry we missed FOTLK too but more reason to go back!!

I'm glad DH was ok too!!!

That is so scary about the car accident! I'm glad to hear Mr. I is okay - hopefull your Annivesary trip will be okay as well....

I LOVE the pics of Jack-Jack sleeping. SO adorable! Bummer to hear Mr. I wasn't over the moon with EE, but at least he rode-and it doesn't sound like he hated it, just wasn't all that impressed, eh? I find it more impressive than RnRC, which I think is too short...but in the dark, rockin' music, etc. it is still awesome!

That stinks about missing FOTLK, I knew we walked way over there too and missed the show on our November trip. It's such a haul over there! Blah. I've never seen FOTLK, maybe in December....I hear it's awesome!

Note made about Y&Y CS - the TS was good, but I've heard several poor reviews of the CS. I want to try Flame Tree, sounds so yummy!

Jack-Jack slept everywhere! It became a joke that everytime he was sleeping, we'd get a picture of him. I have more to come!! I think Mr. I would have liked EE more if we'd ridden it a second time. I definitely like RnRC more the second time around. I think the first time he keeps his eyes shut and is a bit.... scared.... not knowing what to expect.
FOTLK is awesome. It's almost like a mini Cirque show and the Cirque shows I've seen are FANTABULOUS so thats a big compliment from this gellybean.
The haul that day was miserable!! I was glad to get in my crocs!!
Yuk N Yeti I doubt we will repeat, at least not CS. We may try the table service though! It still sounds yummy!!

We ate at Flametree last time and it was good but we weren't jumping out of our seats. THAT being said, when you live in Texas, you are spoiled by GOOD BBQ so that was prolly part of our lack of enthusiasm.

I had to come back and catch up on TRs. (It's been one of those months.) Great updates! I'm sorry your mom missed FOTLK though. That has got to be my favorite show. That's so great that you love EE. I get pretty bad motion sickness so I've avoided it so far. I'm such a chicken. LOL! Love the colors of your new office wall!

Welcome back!! Try EE!! I get motion sickness too but love EE!!! Maybe try it at the end of the day so if it does make you a little icky feeling you can call it a day. That being said, I'm a big fat chicken when it comes to Mission Space. Spinning in circles SCARES ME!!



Thanks for all the concerns and well wishes for Mr. Incredible!! The car is finally fixed today so we're going to pick it up!

I hope to have an update out tonight!
