Hey Alex!!!!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Erika!! what a scary day you have had!! I am glad that everyone is safe and there is minimal damage to your home! Stay safe through the night!
The super glue was originally for Nancy, since I was "cracking her up" last night. But then Candy was cracking up today, so she needed the glue but Nancy used it all!

Gina, we have been to Boma, I think twice already, so this is a tried and true return! As for Yachtsman, we have never ate there, and are REALLY looking forward to it! With a 545 ADR we'll have some time when we get back to SSR to enjoy the pool for a bit! I am glad hear it's good! We were torn between it and Shula's.

OK, so if I crack up sometime, you guys can glue me back together.

I have never been to the Yachstman, but I have walked by it a million times and always thought it looked wonderful!!!!!


Has anyone else seen Indiana Jones yet?

Alec and I went to YS for our Anniversary dinner, the waiter brought a dessert with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate with a selection of truffles, nice touch. The Creme brulee was amazing and of course the steak, yummy!!!!

Hello everyone!!!!!

I got a phone call at 7 this morning from my mother in law saying she is in a lot of pain and could I come over and help her!!!! She is diabetic and has neropathy (sp?) in her foot and it was really bad today, plus she is taking care of her husband who has alzheimers(sp?) and prostate cancer and is permanently hooked up to a catheter!!!!!
So I went over their, emptied his bag, made breakfast and got everything situated for them! I didn't make it to church this morning and I went back there for lunch and helped them out again until her sister was able to get there....and now I just got home and I'm waiting for Randy and the girls to get home from church so they can eat and we can leave to go see the Magic!!!
My allergies are awful today, but I'm afraid if I take anything I will be a zombie out there and the pictures might come out very blurry from me swaying!!! LOL
They just got home....talk to you all when we get back!!!!!!

gosh Candy, you must be tired after a busy day like that! but I'm sure you had a great time seeing the Magic!!!!!!!!

 

[RanCan]

Hello everyone!!!!

WE GOT TO SEE THE MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We even heard the horn!!!!!!!!!
I have to wait a while before loading pictures because my camera battery died and it's charging right now!!!!!

Erika....That must have been so scary!!!!! I'm so glad you are all safe!!!!!
I was cracking under pressure last night because everyone is asking for pics of the Magic.....and Nancy used all Michele's super glue!!!!! LOL

Gina, I'm so glad you had a great time!!!

Michele, banana, vanilla wafer pudding is one of my favorites!!!!!

Alex, I hope you had a nice time at the cottage!!!

Allen, I have not been to a drive in for years!!!! My girls have never been!!! I sure do miss them!!!

I'll post pics later!!!

The Stardust Drive In is actually in Watertown, just down the road. It has 2 screens, and they do double features on both screens every show. Because the concession stand is really the only source of revenue, if you bring food or drinks, they require you to buy a $5 food permit. We always bring our own drinks, but we eat there to support them. They don't allow alcoholic beverages at all. People bring chairs and small tables and have a picnic or sit in the backs of their pickup trucks. I would rather go to the drive in than the theater, unless it's something with a good soundtrack.
I think Indiana Jones was really good. It is typical Indiana Jones. Some people say it was all action and a lame story line. I thought the plot was good, typical Indiana Jones. Some believable and some not....and as always, that Indiana Jones twist!!

hey Allen, here's our drive in... http://www.mustangdrive-in.com/
we also have just the 2 screens and it's not very big LOL and we don't even need to get food permits and they never ask if we have snacks or not, but we do usually run out of something during the time we're there so we sometimes buy things there too.

I am going to be at Duffin's Bay. Not far from Southwood though. Small world, what owl was she, I am trying to figure out what I want to be called. i have submitted the paper work and my friend is Brown owl so although it isn't Official yet I can't see it not happening, esp. with my experience. So fingers crossed, Jenna really is looking forward to it.

Boma is AWESOME, make ADRs!!! yum, we are eating there in Aug.

LOL, the hotel is on the shore of Lake Superior, if it wasn't indoors no one would ever get in it!!! It was 45 and pouring rain when we left this morning.



OK, someone wanna fill me in on this??? LOL

Hi all, we are back! I have only been able to skim the last few days, so I am just going to say a big old blanket "hi " to everyone!!!!! I did get that Candy is going to see the Magic, which is totally cool and I can't wait to see pictures.

So, we left Duluth this morning, thinking it would storm there later, it was 45 and rainy, yuck! We drive home, 2 1/2 hours, of course it stops raining about 45 minutes outside of Duluth. We get home, not raining here, not 30 minutes after we pull in, we turn on the TV and hear we have a tornado warning! So, we watch the radar for awhile, and when the hail larger than golfballs start dropping my son freaks until we go in the basement. The splash on the pond from hail that large is amazingly huge! For awhile it looked like the pond was boiling. We were very tense, since in 2005 we sustained $17000 worth of damage to our house from a hailstorm. This time it wasn't really blowing though. So, it's done, we go outside, no damage to note, thank goodness!!!
Not 30 minutes later, her comes round 2! This time they are not as large, but it's blowing. And the rain, holy cow, must have rained 3 inches in about 20 minutes. Just some dents on the metal trim of the house (that we replaced last time). Nothing major but if we fix it (which DH will probably have to do cuz he won't like the dents) it will cost a fair penny I'm sure.
After the storm rolled through here it dropped a few tornados and has now killed a 2 year old and 20 people are missing in another suburb about an hour from here. Thank god none of that happened here!!!!

So, there you have my holiday weekend wrap up LOL.

OMG!!!! Erika.......how scary is this!!!!!!! I'm so happy you are all ok and stayed safe!!!!!!

Hi Candy, that must have been so exciting!!!

I wish we had a drive in anywhere near here still, but we don't. My kids have never been either.

Hi Nancy!!

 

[pinkygirl]

hi everyone, we're back from the BBQ and had fun watching the kids play and the food was yummy!!!!!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Erika, we saw Indiana Jones yesterday...and Allen saw it too! I thought it was great! Like Allen said, typical Indiana Jones, but I wouldn't want it any other way!!

there's no real recipe for the dessert...just make some vanilla pudding. Layer Nilla Wafers, Pudding, sliced bananas and cool whip. I think I did this 3 times. Let set..the wafers soften....and enjoy!!
