I just checked my flights now, whew they are still the same.

ohh good!!!!!!!!

 

[RanCan]

Wow, that stinks! Don't you hate it when they do that? I'm glad you got it worked out. Now you just have to drive another 21 miles?

Yep, 21 more miles. Oh well! I can't complain too much...our airfare for the 4 of us was about $900!! We are saving a few hundred dollars doing it this way!! But the direction gas prices are going, we might not save very much after all!!!!

Is this with your new maker? Did you make ice cream in it yet? I wanna know how it works. That's cute on the Hannah thing.

Nancy, it's cloudy here, and supposed to storm tomorrow and Thursday.

Michele, missed ya before, but sounds like you are having a ball!!! What is CBIP???

Yes, the maker is AWESOME we are inside now making chocolate soft-serve YUMYUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!!!!!

AA CHANGED OUR FLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!

And they didn't even notify us!!!!!!
After I spoke to you yesterday Kristin, I told Randy about what happened to you, so later he decided to check to see if our flights were still there, and the non stop flight to Ft Lauderdale was no longer listed!!!
They changed us to a one stop leaving LAX at 6 am stopping in Dallas for an hour and a half and getting to FL an hour later than before. So we would have to leave an hour earlier and get there an hour later!!! And worry if our lugguge would get lost in the process!!!!!
So he called AA and they arranged to have us fly into Miami instead, and we would get there 25 minutes earlier than our origional flight!!! Which would workout to be the same time because Miami is 21 miles from Ft Lauderdale!! We wanted to get there as early as possible because of the long drive we have when we get there!!!!! I hope they don't change this one too!!!!

Oh my gosh and they did not notify you??? That is AWFULL that is what happened to us in April AirTran did not notify us either. I can not believe that all of the airlines are doing cuts and cutting out flights so they can save on Jet Fuel....

JetBlue changed our return flight yesterday and my mom got an email telling her they wanted us to have a 7:52 flight home arriving in at 10:23 we have an hour and a half ride home from the airport with two six year olds I did not feel like getting in after midnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does it work, from a mix??? Now I'm really hungry!!!

Nancy, hope you can get a rest, my dd would always watch movies when she was little LOL, no matter how many she'd watched.

She's bored again today, I asked her what would make her unbored (this is all via text message) and she responds "a sister or Phoebe (her friend who is out of town)" ROFL!!! I said, "you ain't gettin a sister!"

You have to just mix up the ingredients it is just whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla, cocoa (to make it chocolate), sugar and vanilla, real vanilla. It is wicked easy and the machine does the rest. It is soo FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Can you send you DD over here I need help with the kids this summer....!!!!!!!!!!

Kristin,

We have two more girls that we would consider giving up for the summer. They like soft serve ice cream and pools too, they would fit in perfect!!! And they are good with kids!!!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

to heck with sending my kids to Kristin's for the summer, I am going to send MYSELF to kristin's for the summer! Swimming pools and ice cream! I'm there!!!!!

well, here is our view of The Hard Rock Park...HRP for short.
We left at about 9, got there at 920. They don't even open the parking lot until 930, so we sat, second in line, for 10 mins. Then we pulled into the lot. If you want regular parking it's $10, preferred (first 10 rows maybe) it's $15. Of course, since we were second in line, we choice to hoof it. there is no tram system. Walked up to the ticket booth and was able to get into the "main street" area and waited for the park to officially open. We rode the Led Zepplin ride with no waiting. Matter of fact, ALL the rides were either walk on or wait one turn. the park was pretty empty! We were able to ride all the rides by 1130. we stopped for food and water. Food was a bit steep. A bottle of soda was $3!! We got 2 chicken finger baskets, one with fries and one with onion rings and it was $18.50. We had thought about just sharing some nachos and it was almost $10. Anyway, after that we watched 2 shows and re-rode the Nights in White Satin, The Trip again. That ride is just WEIRD!! LOL It's basically an acid trip! LOL It's inside, in a ride car, with 3-D glasses and there is no theme to it...you just ride through, listening to Nights in White Satin, looking at all this psycodelic stuff. Once we were done with the 2 shows, it was about 215, and it was getting HOT, so we left for the day. BUT aside from not seeing 2 shows yet and the one ride was down for repair, we saw and did it all! Now, HRP is $50/day, WDW is $70/day. For your money, WDW is a bargain! there is just so much more to see and do! I guess if we had not come into the HRP with our commando disney attitude, it might have taken longer to get through. We are going to go back, maybe Thursday night, to see the last of the shows and the lazer/water/fireworks show....and of course, to ride Led Zepplin again. That ride is, to borrow a word from Kristin, is WICKED!!! It twists and turns and goes upside down 6 times!

We came back, showered and went to Cheese Burger in Paradise. It was really good!! Tomorrow we are either going to spend another day on the beach or drive down to Charleston to go to Fort Sumter. Connor just studied this Fort in school the last few weeks, so this is still of interest to him.

I have photos!!!! Here they come!!

A few weeks ago, Allen posted a photo of Mary's Clematis plant. Mine has FINALLY come into bloom! It's not fully bloomed, but I was afraid if I waited to take the photo when we got home, it wouldn't be as pretty. So, here is our clematis...and it's not even fully bloomed. The small white things are flowers yet to bloom!

Here is Connor with his braces giving me a cheesy grin to send to my mom!
