Hooray! Everyone was together at Disney!
I love, love, love that they added the pull out bed at CBR. Honestly, the resort has jumped to the top of my Must Try list now that each kid can have their own bed.
Mmm, a Boma dinner. Sounds like it was really good! I've only ever done a breakfast there, but I do like how they have different "stations."
They have zebra domes there?! I don't know why I did not know this. Well, with that information in hand, I might actually be able to convince my picky eater of a husband to give dinner a chance.

I LOVE BOMA! I can't remember when I last posted so let me say that I'm sorry for the loss of your boss, I know he was also a friend and for John losing his job but yay! for finding employment so soon after! I look forward to reading about you showing the newbies around.

Been looking forward to hearing about the adventures you had since the gang is all together.
But we know you are busy with two jobs. Hope everything is okay too.
I'll be here.

Explorin' after dinner!
After our amazing dinner at Boma, there was still enough light to go outside and see if we could get a glimpse of some animals. Lucky for us, there were several out and about. There were zebras:
and wildebeast or is that wildabeast or wildbeast? Heck I can't spell it but it was this creature.
And look over there, there's a giraffe!
There was signage around the railings with animal identifiers and notices.
We stayed outside for a while just looking at the animals and the beautiful surroundings but the others had had a long ride and were ready to head back to the resort.
But, we couldn't just rush through the lobby area of the resort. We needed to take some pictures first.
Jesse's two brothers were very excited to be together at Walt Disney World. You may notice that Michael, the one in the middle, has a prosthetic leg. He was in a motorcycle accident and it cut his leg off around his knee. Not having a leg doesn't stop him at all.
While the other guys were posing for pictures, John was lounging in one of the rockers.

Explorin' after dinner!
My pictures don't hold a candle to the lodge and it's amazing décor, displays and architecture.
I can't remember what park bus came first but whatever it was, we hopped on it and then transferred to a bus back to the CBR. Jesse's parents hit the hot tub, Michael and his wife and child went to settle into their room, the rest of us went to look around the resort for a while. Jesse and Lacey had stayed at the CBR before but Jeremiah was a newbie. And he was wound tighter than tight. He was so excited to finally be at WDW. He was talking a mile a minute and was ready to spend all the money that he had saved up.
We showed him around Old Port Royale and then he kind of wandered around. John and Jesse were acting like silly goofs in the hat area.
When I turned around and saw this hat on Jesse, I 'bout died. It was hilarious and he was playing the roll of Jesse the Cowgirl fabulously!

Explorin' after dinner
Jeremiah found us and said that he was going back to the room. John doesn't drink a lot because of all of the medications that he takes. But, every once in a while, he'll have a beer. Tonight was one of those nights. He stopped at Banana Cabana for a beer and I attempted to take pictures without being too terribly obvious. I didn't want to disturb the other guests who were enjoying their time at the bar.
We all took our time strolling back to our rooms. It had been a while since we had seen Jesse and Lacey and it was nice to spend some time with them. At this time, we had no idea how the next week would be. We were traveling in a "herd" as John would later refer to us.
The guys in the group (minus John) and Lacey wanted to swim for a while and the quiet pool was just that...quiet. They had it all to themselves. Lacey had gotten a GoPro for her birthday and they were making all sorts of videos and, because there were no others in the pool, they had races. The black dot that you see in the water is Michael a/k/a Bubba. He won nearly every single race and made sure that he let them know it.
John and I sat at the umbrella table watching them swim. I received a message from one of my fellow Magical DIStractions writers. There were reports that the refillable mug prices had changed. She wanted to know if I had seen them. I had but, since they came with our package, I didn't look at the price. I volunteered to hot foot it over to OPR before it closed and took a couple of pictures of the mug display.
After sending the pictures, I made my way back to the Jamaica quiet pool where everybody was still swimming. They were starting to feel the effects of the drive and were ready to call it a day/night. Tomorrow would be the beginning of our trip with a party of 11, 6 of which were newbies.
