Hi there!! It was rather good actually. Scotty had a race today, and thankfully the rain held up until we were on the way home. He had a good race, this is the first time her has ridden cyclo cross and it is rather interesting.

Here is doing his thing.

He means business! That's a great picture! Good for him, it takes courage after spill to get back on.

Yeah, he was kind of scared to do the race but he was so glad that he had. He had a blast.

That is fantastic! I am in awe of those who have a passion for any sort of sport. I lack that gene. DH has it, he does triathlons. Gab and Joshua have it, they play comp soccer. Chloe has it, she is a gymnast. Mama doesn't have it.

You may not have it but you have the more important gene. The one that makes you into the person that is their biggest supporter, and their biggest cheerleader. And that is a very important person.

You are so great. I hadn't thought about it like that. Someone has to be the chauffeur too.


A rainy day at MK.

420 days!!! ​

I hadn't thought of the chauffeur part.

Am I crazy, but I love rainy days at the park? Well, not pouring down rain but light showers.

Not at all. We like light rain at the parks. It weeds out the newbies and sorta refreshes everything.

It does refresh everything.

Once it rained really really hard during our trip. We took cover in The Village Haus. And so did a flock of Princesses. Best character interaction ever!

Those are the things that make it more special.

ITA! While I enjoy the planning thoroughly, it's the magical unplanned things that really make the trip memorable.

I have made a solid decision on which DVC and what size room.

My thoughts exactly!!

 

[rentayenta]

and are you going to tell????????????

My thoughts exactly!!

After much deliberation and math........and after talking with the kids (DH's mind has been made up)........and weighing out the pros and cons: haven't stayed at *home*, time of the year for DVC (popular), and knowing we will cook some.......along with realizing we aren't going to be adding on anytime within the next few years........
















I decided on 5 nights at SSR in a 2 br and 5 nights at the THV. We all love SSR. Chloe and Joshua are all about the THV. Gab is the only one not loving the Treehouse idea- she wants to stay at SSR the entire time or AKV again for the second half but we have been there and I would really like to try them all at some point. It will cost a lot of points, 355 to be exact, but it will be well worth it. I really really tried to convince myself of a one bedroom but with 5 of us, although technically we fit, we bought DVC in part for comfort. I don't miss the shoving-in-a-standard-room days. Don't get me wrong, we have had some amazing vactions, all in standard rooms, but as I age, I prefer to be comfortable and enjoy the ammenities of home minus the daily stress.

So there ya have it, one decision down, and a few more to go such as:

• how and where to celebrate Chloe's bday
• how and where to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah
• what night to do MVMCP
• Candlelight Processional (have to do tons more research)
• what nights to cook
• where to make ADRs
• park hoppers- how many days
• flights
• what to do on our *off* days which will be weather dependent
• grocery list and who to order from

I need to research which THV to request as I would love to watch the boats go by on the river.

So if you have any info with regards to best area of SSR and best unit of the THV, please share.
