I've always wanted to try Flame Tree BBQ, it sounds really good there! And the view looks gorgeous! But I do fear those ankle-nipping birds! Good thing your only animal company was a cute bunny!
The chicken is a safer bet than the ribs, just for informational purposes. The ribs are good when they are tender, but we've had them when they're tough, and they're not such a good deal for the money then. The chicken, at least for us, has always been moist.
Thanks for the walk through AK this evening.
Looks like the tigers were being sort of cooperative. The only time I have seen them in action is when is was 45 degrees out.
I am hoping the cooler December temperatures will have the tigers up and moving, too.
I love that blue bird; the little head feathers crack me up!
I love the tigers, too! I could seriously watch them all day, they're so pretty.
We are at just seven weeks today, so seven weeks from right now, I will finally be back at WDW! I actually called the vet yesterday to make an appointment for my dog's rabies vaccine and anything else he needs, since I'm boarding him there the week we are gone. For some reason, that was what really made me think we are coming up quickly. When I think about the fact that we are at seven weeks, I get a little freaked out because I feel like I still have SO much to get done. And, of course, after the countdown gets out of the forties, it's in the thirties, which to me always mean it's really, really close!
The head feathers are cool, aren't they? I was trying to get him face on, but the feathers may actually show up better the way I got it.
Counting in weeks makes things go by faster to me. When you get into the 30's in days, it does fly by!!!
I love all the animal pictures. Especially the tiger. And the bunny. But I have never seen a bunny with such short ears. Are we sure it was a bunny, or was it something else? So glad those birds don't try to eat the girls!
Maybe we can find an AK CM who knows the exact name of the short-eared friend.
We've never had trouble with birds in Disney World. I think they know we aren't scared, so they wait around for those who are before they get an attitude.
It is cool in Dec. I can't wait we will be at Kidani and are eating at Bome on the 26th!!!! Only 40 more days.......not that I'm counting or anything!!!!
I have got to get to Kidani for pictures. I am hoping we can walk from Jambo to Kidani to take Christmas tree pictures. I had planned to do that in October, but I just didn't have time.
We are picky eaters too and found plenty to eat at Boma for dinner. I especially liked the desserts!!!! My guys aren't huge dessert fans, but I ate plenty!!!
Ok, I'm caught up again.
Add me to the Dis NYE meet at the Poly!!! Elena and maybe John and Michael...depends on there mood!!
A Jungle cruise meet would be fun too.
What day is everyone arriving at DW? We are going 12/26- 1/1.
Jill, Great job finding the earring back!!!
When you get a second, go pull up the list and add yourselves to it. I hope everyone can come.
Maybe the Jungle Cruise ride should be the 30? Will everyone be there then? Trent and Jarvis are coming the 29th, and I don't think Jarvis has been on the Jungle Cruise.
Love the pictures of the tigers!! Aren't they beautiful creatures!!! A walk through AK was a splendid way to end my evening!
They are spectacular creatures, in my opinion. I love the look on the face of the one hanging from the branch, and you can see the power in the arm his head is laying on.
I am sorry about the gift card drawing-so close!!
My MIL bought those Mickey shoes
GREAT pics of the Tigers!!
Sounds like we will miss you in Oct-girls fall break is Oct 15-19-looks like I will overlap with Ms Pat

Hoping for BCV but booking at Kidani at 11mo mark-tonight actually
My break will probably be at about that time, but my guess is that Jill will want to go when Brooklynn is out. If I can get off, I will go with them, but if school is as crazy next year as it was this year, then I will probably not get to. We'll just hav to call that one a little closer to October. If I don't get an October trip, I will be craving a Thanksgiving trip.
I think Caleb is the easiest kid to babysit. I had him yesterday for an hour and a half and he slept almost the whole time. He woke up 5 minutes before Jeremy picked him up. Then today I had him for an hour and we played with the dinosaurs and cars and then he sat down and watched the Lion King and ate his Cars gummy snacks for like 15 minutes until Jeremy came. We watch the Lion King every time he's here

Apparently he watches it all the time at home too. Today he went right for the dinosaurs and then looked at me and said "Lion King?" so I put it on Jeremy told me yesterday that Caleb asks about me during the week and on days he gets home from work on time Caleb gets confused because he never went to my house

I'm babysitting him after school fairly regularly now. It's usually for about 45-60 minutes until Jeremy gets home. He does construction and has to work late a lot. I get home right when Leslie has to leave for work and they live 2 miles away so it works out well.
That's impressive! Looking for something that small in the pebbles is like looking for a contact lense when I drop one in the bathroom They're basically impossible to find. I still haven't worn my contacts to school since I started college because I have this weird fear that one will randomly fall out while I'm driving on the highway and it'll be the one day I forget to bring my glasses. My mom keeps reminding me that she used to wear her contacts to work every day and that has never happened to her
I don't have any trouble understanding her other NC coworkers but for some reason that one woman has a REALLY strong accent.
I am glad you are getting to have some time with Caleb, and I know your help is appreciated by the working parents.

Sounds like you'd be an expert at babysitting Brooklynn, too, because a movie and a pack of fruit snacks is all she needs to keep her happy.
I wore contacts for many years, but as I have gotten older, my eyes have changed. I found myself taking them in and out too much, so I went back to glasses, which I only wear for driving. I don't need them for everyday reading like I did when I was a kid.
