How "just one trip" became three (babies)... update 6/29, huge triplets photo update

[Abby's Dad]

I REALLY want to get this report done before our next trip in January, so look for an update soon.

...... and trust me, Code, WE reallllly want you to get this report done, and we're looking

And did I mention that we would be watching ?

And onto other things - it looks like Santa may be bringing me a new camera - details after we see an update

 

[Lease]

My notes are all ready...waiting on the pictures. As we start counting down to the next trip we know we are running out of time.

Since it's the best season of the year (snowboarding season) we are spending less time at the computer and more time throwing ourselves down a mountain with a board strapped to our feet


Really an update is coming.

Hi Lease and Code!! I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! How is the new job Code? Much better than the last, I hope.

I know that you two are heading back to the world soon, just after my own trip in 5 Days , so I wanted to see if you had a pre trippie for that and would it be added to this one??!!

Whatever you do, have a fantastic time and enjoy!!

Hi Lease! Sorry you didn't take any pictures to go along with your trip report - you write a good TR. Santa brought me my new camera (and a couple more lenses arrive this week), so I won't need my point and shoot - did you want me to send it to you so you could get some pictures later this month for your TR? Just a little ribbing - you guys have a great time - I know that you will!

Just checking in to see if there was anything new happening....

 

[Lease]

Thank you for sticking with us. Code is processing pictures as we speak, he's on Dis mode and I"ll only pull him off of Disney pictures to get some good scrapbooking pictures for my next scrapping day.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.

Hey Lease! Glad you guys haven't forgotten about us!

Even though I have let our trip report languish and die despite repeated promises to get it started back up.. I've even been a poor DIS friend, forgetting to reply to some PMs (sorry Fred..), and not keeping up with all our friends' reports. I just wanted to make a post here since we're leaving for Disney in the morning, and try to promise myself and all of you one more time that I am going to finish this trip report and do one for this trip as well.. I hope I have any credibility left in my promises I've just had a pretty hard time getting into the spirit lately for some reason, and even today Lease is complaining about me being cranky when I should be super happy and excited.

The photos will be processed quickly, otherwise Lease is going to kill me because we have already bought a really nice photo album for all our Disney pics and it has been sitting there empty for months

We're taking some new photo toys, the first that I am really excited about to get some unique pictures is a wide angle lens for the camera (11-22 f/2.8-3.5) and also an underwater case for our Fuji F30 camera to take to Discovery Cove with us.

Anyway, see you when we get back..

Have a wonderful trip Lease and Code! I am sure it will be magical!! We just got back four days ago, although my siggie says 11, and it was wonderful!! We will be waiting with baited breath for your next installment, whenever it arrives. Just have a great time. The DIS and friends will always be here.

You guys have a totally fantastic time and we'll look forward to what you have for us when you get back. And one of the things with friends is that they are still there, good, bad, indifferent. Let us know how that Pop Century works for you. Congrats on the new lens - we've got pretty similar lens ranges, but I go just a little wider (the Pentax 10 - 17, with a crop factor of 1.5, gives me a 15 mm fisheye). Oh there I go spoiling everything - I wasn't going to let you know til we saw some pictures - well, we did see the picture of the camera with the new lens and the waterproof case (pretty cool!).

Safe trip, say hi to Mickey!

Have a good trip-can't wait to hear about Discovery Cove.

 

[abbybeth]

Have a FABULOUS trip you guys! I'll be sticking around to read whatever you guys decide to tell us! (and I definitely understand how time & life sucking work and other obligations can be, so hang in there)

Say hi to Mickey for us!

Just sitting on the plane in denver waiting to take off, posting from my phone It took me until last night when all the packing was done for me to truly get in the spirit but now I am getting giddy excited! I guess it just didnt sink in until the last minute for some reason. Cant wait to walk onto Main Street for a reminder of what the magic is all about. Thanks for the well wishes!

That rocks Fred! K10D? K100D Super?

Hey Code & Lease,

Have a fantastic time in WDW!!!

Sometimes life gets in the way or maybe it's just the ebb & flow of emotions at different times that prevent us from completing some goals. Hopefully this trip will refresh you and you will be gung ho about that report again!

And hey, sometimes we just wanna have fun, and I know, trip reports are lots of work! Looking forward to the next installment!

Now you're getting into the spirit! OK - I'll come clean. Between the rebates that were being offered to lower stock before the introduction of the K20D (announced today) and what KEH offered me for my Minolta Maxxum stuff, Lynn thought that I should go back to having a decent camera - so I ordered up big time. Pentax K10D with their two kit lenses (both of which get great reviews, better than some other brands expensive lenses), the DA 18-55/3.5-5.6 and the 50-200/4-5.6, the Pentax 50/1.4, the DA Fish-eye 10-17, The AF360FGZ flash (which works wirelessly with the on-camera flash - cool!), and an Opteka (ya - I know, but you can't beat the price for a toy) 500 mm mirror, so with the 1.5 crop factor, that gives me 15 mm through 750 mm - should do for now (but I am looking for a macro lens). Oh, and I got the LowePro Sling 200 to carry everything - its pretty nice! Also got the battery grip, remote releases, extra battery, and a few other playthings. Unfortunately that doesn't leave much left over for software. I was considering Lightroom - sounds great, but money-wise it will probably be Paintshop Pro X2. Now I just need to wrap my head around some of the similarities in post-processing that equate with similar steps from the darkroom days and I'll be okay. So you guys have a awesome time - I'm going to be really interested in what you shoot with the wide zoom - I already have a few shots planned for mine in December. Have a Mickey ice cream bar for me, will ya!?

We're Back! We had an amazing time (how could we not?). I'm hoping to finish out the last TR and get the second one going right away. We've got over 2200 pictures this time, so hopefully many will make it to the report

I'm still recovering from 9 days of nonstop Disney-ing, but boy was it fun!

Welcome back Lease! Man, time flys eh? We are all so looking forward to hearing all about it and your many beautiful photos! Make sure to tell Code there is a new Picture of the Day thread to so he can continue to share over there as well. We all benefit ya know?

One quick question for you, though it may turn into two or three. How did you like the Pop versus the French Quarter? How were the crowds? How was the weather?

Okay, get some rest. We will be waiting!!
