Oh my, I completely understand the craziness of life. Those end of school year activities can wear out the parents. (Yep, just crossed Prom off the list last night and graduation is next week.)
And you are still getting the updates out! Impressive
. Yes, the end of the year is draining. I am done wiht events by next Monday I think and then can breathe!
I'm glad to catch up on your TR... which means that I have to go waaaay back to your Dark Side updates. I completely forgot about that part of your trip so I was a little disoriented at first.
that's pretty funny. Not all that far back though really, only the day before where we are at now.
Whoa! What a fiasco with the Mararitaville lunch bill. I chuckle when you have a bad experience and they tell you to come back again and we'll comp you. Uhhh sometimes you don't want to return. Anyway... cocktails at the bar after were a great remedy for the long lunch and messed up bills.
I know. A gift card or refund would have been much more practical! Jeff kind of wants to go in September but I can't see spending $100 to get to a "free" lunch.
Trails End is not anyplace that I've ever considered since it seems so far away. However, I love the idea of a comfort food buffet at a reasonable price. Looks like some of the same food as is served at Hoop De Doo.
Yes, I think it's the same fried chicken, ribs and cornbread. Not positive but it's probable! Really great family meal. I don't think Jeff and I would ever do it for the 2 of us but it was absolutely perfect and I know the kids want to go back at some point.
Looks like some fun runs and hikes. Bummer about the blister issues.
Nice photo of you and Jeff on your hike.
Well really they are callus issues due to the bunions but yeah, annoying. Hopefully the new special inserts will make a difference but I'm not sure how long those will take to be made. The hike was a nice treat.
Hi Cynthia,
Although I keep up with you on FB pretty well, it's fun to check in here (as I can) and see additional pictures and story-telling.
Liesa! I know how busy you are and am thrilled to see you stop by when you can.
I've been to Disney when it's been too cold for what you've brought, and I hate being held hostage to out-the-nose prices for sweatshirts and such, but hey, better than the alternative!
Thankfully everyone had packed what they should with the exception of Jeff.
but there is nothing worse than being hostage to what's available to choose from.
Just cause I do not pack lightly.
this also applies to what I have in my suitcase.
Neither does Mary Ellen. I actually don't either, I just have a magical bag.
Yup, basically lifting up your skirt. I think the swing style like I got has just too much fabric for my liking too. A slim cut would have been a better idea. I stopped in the Luluemon store in Spokane and looked at their skirts. They are definitely cute. Pretty close to the same cost as ss though, right? I think the solid colors are a tad more versitle.
Close. The ones I looked at were $70-80 ish (but none came in the slim), the lulu and athleta ones are $58-59 for about $10 or more less. I am really happy with mine, it's just figuring out the fuel situation.
I rarely use back pockets. I just don't understand how to get things out of them. UNLESS I put a key back there. But I don't even do that often since I feel like I am going to lose it and not know that I have.
My back pockets all zip. I typically have a key and my phone in there zip it closed with just the earbud cord poking out and it works great. But it only works great in my athleta stuff to be honest. The fabric on the raw threads is not as thick/stable and the phone "sinks". LOL! The 2 lulu items I have, either I've used a side pocket or it doesn't have a back one (and as a result got booted out of the line up ).
Ok, so maybe not 24... but late twenties/early thirties!
Ha! Not. But that is sweet. There is no way anyone would take me for much under 40.
I was afraid to come here, worried about how behind I might be, but fortunately it was not too bad.
Nope, too behind in life to update!
I think we are all suffering from the end-of-the-year crazies. My boys are in school until June 25, so I still have a couple more weeks of this!!!
You are the first I've heard that is later than the E's. They get out the 20th. Is it due to make up days?
I will comment briefly on the running updates.
I have never been a runner. Nate is on his track team, but he does shot-put and javelin. He only runs in extreme emergency situations (he scored some points for his team by finishing a 2 mile run because the other team didn't have enough participants in that race)
I have never been a runner either, this is all very new and truly only because I ran out of other options.
I admire your family's dedication, and success in your runs!
I am not sure that we have either of those but we are having fun at times for sure!
As for me:
Actually, Mark and I have started working out on weekends together- we are using an Xbox program, "Yourself Fitness" that we have followed successfully in the past.
Anything that gets you moving is good in my book!
Fantastic prom photos!!! The rainbow shot is AWESOME!!!
YAY for photosynth!
I like the pictures from your morning run at Disney, but I like the photos from the BW bakery more. The multigrain croissant sounds awesome! Love croissants, but I feel guilty when I eat them, so I like this healthier alternative.
Well I am not sure it's any healthier as the butter content is likely similar but OH was it tasty. I love croissants but honestly I liked it better than a traditional one.
I don't know where you are going, but I'm pretty sure it is not Typhoon Lagoon!
I'll guess EPCOT- it is convenient, and your last trip there was super-duper crowded.
you are correct. It was NOT Typhoon Lagoon! I've actually never been.
I hope you're back to feeling normal soon. 
) and rain, lots of rain! 
What a bummer that you had such horrible weather at WWoHP. 
That was a pretty stinking good non-update then!!! 
Especially now here in California. Yesterday wasn't too bad, but the day before was 108!
