Just when you thought you've seen all the MAGIC! **See Page 95 for PTR!!!!**


Who knew they had live gators at mini-golf!

:cutie::cutie:
So adorable! I love the little ones that pose for the camera!:thumbsup2


I'm glad that you were able to spend the time with Mel's grandfather. These are memories I'm sure that Ana will treasure when she gets older. I hope your son is able to make some memories with him too.:goodvibes


 
What an awesome start to your vacation, everyone looks like there having a great time!

Yah for the next post being the drive to Disney, can't wait to hear all about it:goodvibes
 
Princess Ana is adorable as usual. What a great way to get ready for Disney. It looks so relaxing at the beach. :thumbsup2
 
Dude, I want an ice cream tree now. I need this in my back yard. Think of all the amazing parties we could host on my deck!

And I think live gators is going a bit too far for a golf course hazard. Usually you want to avoid the trees and lakes that swallow golf balls. I don't want to have to think about avoiding hazards that eat the golfers.

Looks like it was a great day!
 

Love all the pics of princess Juliana, Joey said "she is cute"

Lovin' the baby bump :cutie: I'm soo excited for your family

Sounds like a fun few days, and hooray for heading to Disney the next morning
 
I had no clue they had ice cream trees??? Now I want one:rotfl:. I just LOVE Juliana poses. Sorry you didn't catch any fish. The beach pictures were amazing. I can't get enough looking at these beach pictures. Can't wait to hear about Disney...oh..how cool that Dominos have Mickey Head:thumbsup2
 
Native Seattlelite here, born and raised, have the webbed toes to prove it :lmao::lmao: even though I moved from WA in 1994 to be with my husband, my DD and I moved back last summer after he died to be close to the families!
You need to come up and see Seattle, its a great city! would love to meet up with you!
If we ever head down south, will let you know!

First of all, I"m so sorry for the loss of your husband. I'm encouraged that you moved back to be near family, and that the NW provides some form of comfort for you :hug::goodvibes

I've been to Seattle a few times as a child, but not since then. With the start up of school and other committment looming, it may be a while, but I will definitely let you know when (not if) that happens.

thanks for your kind words....the move has been good and bad, but mostly good! you know family stuff :confused3 got to deal with the drama :lmao::lmao: that would be fun to meet up!
 
So jealous you all got to go to the Beach! As a fellow New Englander, I can attest that this has been a brutal winter, and a fairly cold spring too. Ana looks like she had a blast romping around in the water. Mel is also a trouper. Can't imagine doing Disney while pregnant!
 
I kept waiting and waiting and then BAM! All of a sudden there's three updates!! :banana:

The girls are as beautiful as ever! I didn't realize you two were preggers (well, Mel), it's a lovely surprise I must admit. :lovestruc I love the names too! Oh boy a boy! (Is this for sure?) Your in for a really big change when this little man comes along! I thought you were wrapped before, wait until the little man of the house enters into the world. :goodvibes The addition of another baby, nothing sweeter. :cloud9: When is the due date?

How were the oranges? I love the smell on the SOARIN ride when we enter into the orange groves, living in Southern Cali., I fell in love with the smell of the orage groves when they were in bloom. I lived in Irvine before they finally did away with the last of the orage groves. :O( Oh well, I love Texas!

I'm so happy to hear your grandfather in law is doing well, it's always a worry for everyone after the loss of a loved one. My grandfather is 93 and still kicking. :goodvibes Loooove the preggers pics, a woman with child is such a beautiful site. :lovestruc She looks happy.
 

We found a great spot on the beach and Juliana was anxious to get to the water.

DSC01547.jpg



Wow!!! Look at that water! And the sand looks so clean! I grew up in So Cal and the beaches are always dirty, the water cold and there's no way you could see more than a few inches into it. I want to go to a Florida beach!!!!:sad1:

I knew you couldn't resist reporting back on the latest trip. And I'm glad you are! It's always fun to read about Juliana's latest adventure. :goodvibes
 
Great updates Tim. Always enjoy reading along!
 
Well, that is still true... How else would you explain chocolate ice cream?
touche!


You know, I almost hesitated to post that since I haven't seen him around here to jump in, but then I figured it's a running gag anyway, so why not!
True! I wonder where FEDs been? I hope he made it though the weekend with his inlaws! :rotfl::rotfl:






How sweet that you all spent some time with Mel's grandfather. I'm sure he enjoyed having vibrant little Ana around!:goodvibes It's sad that he's over two hours away from everyone though. I'm sure he appreciated your visit very much.
He kept wondering where she got all the energy from... LOL He really enjoyed seeing her (and us too)

Orange picking, what fun! We go apple picking at this one farm every single September. Were the oranges tasty?
The oranges were very good! He also has grapefruit and lemon trees too! popcorn::

DH, my dad and my brothers LOVE Yuengling. Whenever they're together, it's the only beer there. Well except for the occasional Guiness but those are more expensive, you only get like four!
I like to drink it when I can since I don't get it very often. I bought some to bring with me to POP too!

CT has good pizza? Really?:confused3 Just kidding! I know they do, I saw that movie Mystic Pizza silly.
Mystic Pizza? That is the worst movie (and worst pizza) eva! :sad2:

Love all the fishing pics! Ana's pole is about four times as tall as her! But she looks like a pro. Mel is radiant too. Though I don't enjoy fishing (I dislike worms and pulling fish off of hooks:eek:) DH is always trying to get me to join him.
Juliana had fun but got bored rather quickly since she wasn't catching anything. I'm sure Mel was happy that she didn't catch anything! :lmao:

You should surprise your husband and say you will go fishing with him... just to see his reaction! :rotfl2:

Can't wait to see the Disney installment next! Not that I'm complaining, I think you've done a remarkable job with updating!:thumbsup2
LOL Thanks! Now you know that writing a TR is very time consuming. ;)






One question, is it normal to pick oranges with a pitch fork?
:lmao::lmao:

This is what we were using. It has claws to pull the oranges and a basket for them to fall into once they are plucked.

Looks like a wonderful few days. I wish I could move to Florida! How nice to have an orange tree out back
I know.... I wish I could have one at home.






You know Tim, you could do a contest like Marv and Glenn. But instead of spotting "Mel", it could be a Dooney purse sighting instead! Just a thought to help you keep your readership up, not that it appears you're having any trouble with that though!:laughing:
That could be a fun contest... you want to run it for me?






Or he could do a contest and see who can guess how many times the "whip" picture has or will appear either here or in other threads. ;)
I'm sure that picture will show up here at least once before this report is over. :sad2: :sad2: :rolleyes1 :rolleyes:




Hmm, something tells me he'd be more amenable to the purse pic over the whip one...:rolleyes1 :laughing:
You are probably right. ;)
Yea but since when does MY opinion count around here? :confused3 ;)
 
Love the updates! Juliana looks adorable at the beach and Mel looks great in the pregnant in FL pictures.

Yum.. fresh oranges right off the tree. Guess they could compare to fresh ice cream bars though.

Late night pizza is the best:thumbsup2 (Even if it is Dominos) I can't remember the last time I got a pizza without DH and DD bothering me to share. A few months ago I worked until midnight and missed dinner. I stopped at Wendys on the way home. DH and DD both proceeded to wake up at 12:30am and ask me why I didn't get them anything?:confused3

Can't wait until you guys actually get to Disneypopcorn::
 
:cutie::cutie:
So adorable! I love the little ones that pose for the camera!
Posing is Juliana's favorite pastime! :lmao:princess:

I'm glad that you were able to spend the time with Mel's grandfather. These are memories I'm sure that Ana will treasure when she gets older. I hope your son is able to make some memories with him too.:goodvibes[/COLOR]
It was nice seeing him and I'm sure he enjoyed our company. Even if we turned his house upsidedown for a few days.:goodvibes






What an awesome start to your vacation, everyone looks like there having a great time!

Yah for the next post being the drive to Disney, can't wait to hear all about it:goodvibes
It was a fun start! I'm glad the weather was so nice... it was great to get outside!

Disney- LOOK OUT! Here we come! :yay:





Princess Ana is adorable as usual. What a great way to get ready for Disney. It looks so relaxing at the beach. :thumbsup2
The beach was just gorgeous! It was so relaxing being there.





Dude, I want an ice cream tree now. I need this in my back yard. Think of all the amazing parties we could host on my deck!
I tried to find you an ice cream tree but all I came up with was this:

kidz-ice-cream-hot.jpg


And I think live gators is going a bit too far for a golf course hazard. Usually you want to avoid the trees and lakes that swallow golf balls. I don't want to have to think about avoiding hazards that eat the golfers.
Unlike the golf courses, the gaters at mini-golf were in a pen. You can pay to feed them too... we passed on that. :rotfl2:






Love all the pics of princess Juliana, Joey said "she is cute"
Thanks!!! She is unavailable for dating till she is 25 though. :rotfl:

Lovin' the baby bump :cutie: I'm soo excited for your family
Thanks! It is going to be a big change here... I'm a little scared! :eek:

Sounds like a fun few days, and hooray for heading to Disney the next morning
We had fun but there was more fun to be had in Orlando! :woohoo:
 
I had no clue they had ice cream trees??? Now I want one:rotfl:. I just LOVE Juliana poses. Sorry you didn't catch any fish. The beach pictures were amazing. I can't get enough looking at these beach pictures. Can't wait to hear about Disney...oh..how cool that Dominos have Mickey Head
Who knew an ice cream tree could survive in FL? :rotfl2:

Did you guys ever make it to the beach while you were there? Come to think of it, was that even on your agenda? :confused3

I was laughing when I saw the Mickey head on the pizza box. It was a SIGN! :lmao:






So jealous you all got to go to the Beach! As a fellow New Englander, I can attest that this has been a brutal winter, and a fairly cold spring too. Ana looks like she had a blast romping around in the water. Mel is also a trouper. Can't imagine doing Disney while pregnant!
We had a nice day on Tuesday and it has gone downhill since then. I'm going to the Yankees game tonight and I really hope it doesn't get rained out. :sad2:

Mel did fine in Disney- although she did miss a few of her favorite rides. I think the hardest part for her was watching Branda drink a Grey Goose Slush right in front of her! :rotfl:







I kept waiting and waiting and then BAM! All of a sudden there's three updates!!

Well, you aren't far behind! :welcome:

The girls are as beautiful as ever! I didn't realize you two were preggers (well, Mel), it's a lovely surprise I must admit. :lovestruc I love the names too! Oh boy a boy! (Is this for sure?) Your in for a really big change when this little man comes along! I thought you were wrapped before, wait until the little man of the house enters into the world. :goodvibes The addition of another baby, nothing sweeter. When is the due date?
There is a 100% chance it is a boy. ::yes:: Now maybe Disney can use us for marketing since we our kids are 1 boy & 1 girl. :headache: ;)

We (like how I did that?) are due on August 13th but Mel has been measuring a little bigger so hopefully she will go a little before that. :goodvibes

How were the oranges? I love the smell on the SOARIN ride when we enter into the orange groves, living in Southern Cali., I fell in love with the smell of the orage groves when they were in bloom. I lived in Irvine before they finally did away with the last of the orage groves. :O( Oh well, I love Texas!
The oranges were delicious! Her grandfather also has grapefruit and lemon trees. The lemon tree has the strongest smell. We were drinking our water with fresh lemon in it while we were there.

I'm so happy to hear your grandfather in law is doing well, it's always a worry for everyone after the loss of a loved one. My grandfather is 93 and still kicking. :goodvibes Loooove the preggers pics, a woman with child is such a beautiful site. She looks happy.
It is hard for him- he really misses her- but he has been doing ok. He has had some health issues so being being by himself is hard sometimes.

I can't believe we are going to have another baby in our house. :scared1:






Wow!!! Look at that water! And the sand looks so clean! I grew up in So Cal and the beaches are always dirty, the water cold and there's no way you could see more than a few inches into it. I want to go to a Florida beach!!!!
The water was crystal clear. No sign of any oil or anything like that. They keep the beaches very clean. There was no garbage or anything like that.

The water was chilly but there were people swimming. Juliana didn't care, there was no stopping her! :lmao:

I knew you couldn't resist reporting back on the latest trip. And I'm glad you are! It's always fun to read about Juliana's latest adventure.
I thought I could weasel my way out of not writing one... it didn't happen like that and here I am! :lmao:




Great updates Tim. Always enjoy reading along!
Thanks for sticking with me. We will be moving on to Disney next! :yay:






Love the updates! Juliana looks adorable at the beach and Mel looks great in the pregnant in FL pictures.
Thank you!

Yum.. fresh oranges right off the tree. Guess they could compare to fresh ice cream bars though.
I didn't eat any ice cream but I'm sure the ice cream connoisseur would say that the ice cream was better. :lmao:

Late night pizza is the best:thumbsup2 (Even if it is Dominos) I can't remember the last time I got a pizza without DH and DD bothering me to share. A few months ago I worked until midnight and missed dinner. I stopped at Wendys on the way home. DH and DD both proceeded to wake up at 12:30am and ask me why I didn't get them anything?:confused3
I'm not sure were you are in CT but you know that Domino's is close to last on the list of place to order pizza from here. It actually wasn't bad.

That's a funny story! Like you are gonna call them and wake them up at midnight to see if they wanted Wendy's!!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Can't wait until you guys actually get to Disneypopcorn::
Coming up in the next update! (when ever I get to it:rolleyes1)
 
:welcome:
WHAT UP?????? I was on the Island last week in Holbrook. I had to pick up some DJ cases.

This should be a quick TR... I hope! popcorn::

Holbrook is only 20 mins from me! Very cool :thumbsup2

Soooo envious of your beach day in March! The weather keeps giving us such a tease up here...Easter was beautiful and then today was just disgusting again :sad2:

That's nice that you got to spend some time with Mel's grandpa. She looks amazing and I hope she's feeling well too! When is she due again?
 
Well, I can pretty much guarantee NO update from our leader tonight unless it is really, really late as he is out with the boys at the Yankees game. :rolleyes1:rolleyes1

Or he gets bored as Yankees seem to be dominating right now :rolleyes1
