Hey mom - are these chains strongth enough to hold you?

I bloody hope so!!!!! - nice hair do eh!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

And then we met Fiona - nice girl - she even has a bigger *ss than me

Look Mom - I'm Indiana Jones!

The next ones are for Brenda's FIL (or whoever the train buff was)

No details or anything just the photos - sorry!

We (well actually I did but I dont like to boast ) won a green lizardy thing on the arcade. We called him Guedo the gekko. No idea if he is a gecko but hey - who cares

I love this arcade game - the one where you have to roll a ball and get it down a hole - this in turn makes a horse or whatever move along a track...do you know what I'm talking about? I'm actually obsessed with this game - I could play it all day if Neil let me

Dragon Khan - amazing coaster - 8 loopy upside thingymjigs

We had to ride seperatley and do kiddieswap

Heres Neil on the front row...2nd one in

and away he goes!

Another coaster called Furio Bacus - new coaster and an amazing ride.... 0-135kph in 3.5 seconds ...in other words - bloooooody fast - much faster than the Hulk start at Universal

Heres part of the track behind Neil and Ellis.

Lock up your Towel animals people as Guedo the gekko and Plankton do Disney....

Couple of night time shots

The themeing was excellent all round the parks - lanterns in china

and a boring "makes you feel sick" ride in mexico

Ok, enough of Port Av for a while...


Heres some water park photos
This park was called Aquleon - about an hours drive away and half way to Barcelona. It was half water park and half safari.

Heres Ellis and Neil on the rapids

are you ready for this one?...it makes me howl with laughter whenever I look at it

This one was good - Daddy always won the race down cos he's a teeny tiny bit heavier than Ellis

 

[Karen Mouse]

Splosh! - told you he always won!

And now for something completely different

Poor Ellis had an allergic reaction one evening at a bar/restaurant....there must have been nut dust on something he touched like a chair arm etc

This is what his eye looked like within 30 seconds

Luckily it was only a mild reaction, lips swelling and eye swelling, but it still worries us all when it happens.

Back to Port Av and something a little more cheerful - heres woody

 

[Karen Mouse]

Heres the last few for now -

Ellis as a wizard - the Kids club at the hotel was great - they did loads of things - he made this costume the one day

Ellis and I one evening - god it was hot that night

And Neil

I think you've all suffered enough - I'm off to do more ironing

Will Lindy loo make it here today .....Karen are you leaving from birmingham or Manchester (Home of the gods united on the 13th?....

Nancy, have you thought of getting them ironed on the cruise? In the past I have ironed clothes before I packed but by the time I unpacked them, they were all wrinkled. Now I know better, I throw in clothes that need ironing and I get it done as soon as we unpack. For some weird reason, the pressing onboard is actually VERY reasonable! I think it's less than what I pay here at home!!

Yes, we did it last time with Chuck's suit. This is ironing I should have done after they were laundered. His dinner shirts are mostly Rayon so, they wrinkle easily. I LOVE to iron anyway. Quite therapeutic for me.

Speaking of being out of it....

I had a very scary experience tonight. I lost time, not exactly sure how long but I think it was about 10-15 mins. It's never happened before and I am still feeling a little freaked out and worried.

We went upstairs to tuck Kira into bed and to say prayers. I remember going up there and I remember starting prayers, but I don't remember finishing them and I don't know what I did afterwards. I don't even remember leaving her room. The next thing I remember is looking at the bonus room (Rob and my brother had just finished moving my computer from the bonus room to my scrap room downstairs) and I felt very displaced. I didn't really recognize the room and then I walked downstairs to where Rob was putting my computer together and I didn't recognize any place I was going...almost like I had never been in this house.

Rob looked at me and asked if I was ok and I sat on the stairs beside him and just started crying. It was really scary, for both of us I think. He walked me through the last 30 mins and I realized that I don't remember leaving Kira's room.

It was very scary. Still is actually, I feel a little disoriented still.

I have never EVER not remembered something. Not even when I was young and drank like a lush. Even when I was completely plastered I remembered everything. I am the kind of person that can meet you once and not see you for 10 years and I will remember who you are, where I saw you last and what we said to each other, so for me, this is very scary.

Think I am gonna go do some research on this!

Cass, I agree with everyone else so far. I think you are exhausted. You moved and put an entire house together in just days. Some people live out of boxes for months after moving (some for years ). I've also driven home from work and pooof!...I was home. I have no idea how I got there so fast. It should take 20-25 minutes, yet it felt like 5 instead. Take a good rest, cuddle with your "Dolly", and watch a cruise dvd. I know where you can find a good one!

Cass, that is scary. Do you ever sleep walk? Wondering if you may have fell asleep during those prayers. Not making light of it, I remember what it was like having a little one around and being totally exhausted. Hope all is well now .

AGREED!!

Karen: Great photos. What the heck kind of camera do you have to get such beautiful "action" shots? And poor little Ellis. Did he recover from his allergic reaction quickly? I can eat any kind of nut except a hazelnut. I will puff up like Ellis within minutes myself.

Once, I had such a bad reaction that I had to go to the hospital and my shirt had to be cut off because I swelled up so badly. There, that's it!! I guess I never came down from my reaction..that's why I'm still so fluffy.!!

Jeff: Post pics soon. I need a Disney fix and my family refused to let me watch Cass's video again this weekend.

Danielle: Were you able to find the ring? It's a beauty, you'll love it.
