One became SEVEN?!? How did THAT happen? 4/24 UPDATE

[McDuck]

For some reason quotes aren't showing up when I use the app. I am so glad everyone had a marvelous time at the Walk! Tracy, the quilt looks lovely.

One restaurant. I would suggest Cape May character breakfast. At a resort so it could be done a down day, interaction is always great (Donald, Minnie, and Goofy) and the buffet is yummy.

Judy, Bill will not be home for the holidays but will be able to do the Glass Slipper Challenge with me next year.

Judy - I am falling apart at the seams!!!! But when I typed that comment on Friday night I really didn't think that I would be able to come to the walk, I promise I was not being sneaky But Saturday morning I was awake, it was nice out and most importantly of all, I was in far less pain than the night before so I knew I could at least come up to Concord and meet everyone, I wasn't sure I would walk until I got there and walked around a little bit, at that point my body was willing, my mind was willing and I thought I could do it...............Now, at the end of the first lane I wasn't so sure, when I rounded the corner to start back and my poor eyes could BARELY see the end, I wasn't real sure that I would make it back but I just kept going. I know I slowed down your gang but I am so appreciative that they stuck with me and we just kept chugging along. It was so much fun talking to the kids, each one of them has different thoughts that's for sure Princess Lisa didn't talk as much as I thought she would, I hope she is ok? I know her leg was bothering her and I fully understand that concept! It was so funny hearing the Christian and Rachel "agree to disagree" about something we were talking about, I think it was computers vs music

I have thought of yet another dining choice that I had completely forgotten about..............Hoop Dee Doo at FW!!! REALLY good food, LOTS of it and the show is FUNNY and more!

I figure if I put one meal in a post then Tracy won't realize that I have given more than one choice

Hi Judy. Looks like your family had a lot of fun on your walk. Hope you're feeling a little better today. We are having a wonderful time at Disney. We went to MVMCP and other than some rude people while we were watching the castle lighting and fireworks, it was great. We had a bench that we staked out way ahead of time and at the last minute people were trying to climb up by us. My dh and the older guy on the other side kept saying no. One guy with his little girl on his shoulders just climbed up, which wasn't too bad until his teenage son tried to climb up too. I was video taping and he bumped me and I said something so he got down. I just wanted to mention that I think you can just order desserts at BOG. You order by yourself and you don't even need to buy drinks as they have free ice water. It's worth going just to see it. We sat in what is called the West Wing I think. Although it is dark, it was so neat. After we were done we walked around and took pictures of the other rooms, and even the bathroom.

Not our best day for news today, so I thought I would post an update from our last trip. That was a GREAT news day.

Our second day in Orlando started out for us having a lazy morning at the resort. We had free tickets to go to the Fun Spot Orlando, an amusement park that David has literally asked to go to since the second trip we made to Disney when he was 6 and we passed it to get to the Disney parks. Today was the day for his dream to come true.

They opened at noon that day, we arrived at opening and to my surprise, we had a blast! They have carnival rides and go carts, over priced food and blaring music...it was such a great time! The go carts put smiles on all of the children’s faces (Pete’s included). We had peanut butter sandwiches to save on money; however, about 4 hours in to our fun, it began to rain and we decided to go back to the villa. Of course when we got back, it had stopped raining, so after a quick swim and light dinner, Pete took the munchkins BACK to the Fun Spot to play until almost midnight. I stayed behind to clean up the kitchen, wash clothes and organize for the next day...oh yes, and the jacuzzi tub was calling my name for a bubble filled bath...we were ALL in heaven!

[GrammyJudy]

Judy, I will have to go back and catch up later this week; I just skimmed this page. Looks like your kiddos had fun at the Fun Spot! Sorry to hear today wasn't so good for you all, we'll continue to pray for you.

We had a WONDERFUL visit with my parents. We didn't really do anything to extraordinary, mostly just hung out together. My dad did some Mr. Fixit-type stuff for me since David has been working awful hours lately and hasn't had a chance to get to some little projects yet. Mom and I went "browsing" together (I call it that because we like to go shopping together but rarely buy anything!), and they bought the kids Monsters U so we all had a movie night one night that was fun. I am so sad now that they had to go home, but we have the holidays coming to cheer us up! Mom showed me how to make some fancy crocheted fluffy scarves when she was here, so I have been working on those as Christmas gifts for all the teachers, etc.

Ezra has been doing fantastic at school lately. I am pretty sure it is due to his wearing compression shirts under his uniform. He is so sure they help that he asked for compression pants, too. I bought him some this morning and he wore them to school this afternoon and had his best day in 2 weeks! His teacher even remarked on how suddenly his behavior had changed for the better, so that is encouraging. Ezra even insisted on keeping them on under his play clothes when he changed after school today.

David is pretty sick. He is at the doctor right now trying to get some meds. His asthma is acting up and his biggest meeting of the year is on Thursday, but he hasn't slept in a week due to coughing, so hopefully he will get some prednisone or something to help with the cough so he can make it to the meeting.

 

[lovethattink]

Looks like they really enjoyed the Fun Spot. Like you, we've driven by it countless times, but unlike you, we've never stopped there. Love the go cart for two! That umbrella ride use to be a fair favorite for me, I don't think I could stomach that anymore.

SNOW?! BRRRRRR!!!

Tracy, the quilt is beautiful. I am so happy Emile is doing well. Happy Remembrance Day.

Thank you!

Tracy, that's a gorgeous quilt! I'm sure that Emile will cherish it for a long time!

Thanks, I do hope so

Tracy, glad to hear you made it home safely!!! As others have said I'm sure your sister felt blessed to have you there!!!! Don't forget to snap some pictures for us on your next visit!!! I was so happy to read that he is doing well and growing!!! Continuing to pray!!! I love love love the quilt!!! What a need talent you have!!! I wish we had an aunt Tracy in my family!!!!

The best table service restaurant is an interesting question and I am enjoying the responses!!!

Thank you. I will be back at Christmas and hopefully Emile is home, I will get photos either way! Thank you for complement about the quilt, not sure I'm talented but I hope the flaws are ignored and the effort appreciated

Judy, sounds like you have had a couple of really great weekends. I didn't make it the dis at all last week. I am working regularly again, Monday and Friday nights, so hopefully I won't be as stressed out about money. Glad that all of your test came back mostly okay, and hope that you don't have to have surgery anytime soon.

Tracy, glad to hear that your nephew is continuing to improve.

Thoughts and prayers to all that need them.

Marilyn

Hope work goes well! thanks for the good wishes for Emile

Don't hurt to try.

Love the quilt!! It looks great (even with the colors being off).

Thanks, I should try to take a photo when there is more light before I mail it off, but there isn't a lot of sun here now.

Yea for Emile growing and I LOVE his new quilt my talented friend! He and his Mama are gong to be THRILLED!

Thinking of you and my friends to the North as they remember their fallen veteran's. I hope you had a great day off!!

The mechanic turned into a fiasco yesterday that I will not bore you all with. HOPEFULLY we will have his car back today, we just can't do it with only my van. PETE needs a vehicle, I claim that as well! And maybe I need to go buy a lottery ticket. Pete and Christian both have MD appts ay 8 AM, then we go get Christian's vehicle and Pete goes to work...fun...

Thanks! Had a great day off and the ceremony was nice.
Sorry about the mechanic fiasco

I know! It's going to come so fast!!!! :eek

Cape May, good idea. I hadn't thought of that one.
Sorry Bill won't be home for holidays, but great he will be there for the Princess half!!

I have thought of yet another dining choice that I had completely forgotten about..............Hoop Dee Doo at FW!!! REALLY good food, LOTS of it and the show is FUNNY and more!

I figure if I put one meal in a post then Tracy won't realize that I have given more than one choice

Sneaky sneaky!

Hi Judy. Looks like your family had a lot of fun on your walk. Hope you're feeling a little better today. We are having a wonderful time at Disney.

Although it is dark, it was so neat. After we were done we walked around and took pictures of the other rooms, and even the bathroom.

Glad you are having a good time at |Disney! Dessert at BOG sounds like a great idea, I wonder if you can get the grey stuff at lunch

It is snowing...HARD!

WOW!!!

Love the fun spot photos! Looks like a fun day!

 

[kaoden39]

It is snowing...HARD!

I am sooooo glad that we live in California and I don't have to deal with the snow. It's pretty to visit but not to keep.


Updated with house pictures.

Thought and prayers to all!

 

[happybelle]

I love the pictures of the Fun Spot and how your children always look so happy no matter what they are doing.

Fun snow picture.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Aren't you glad that on the not-so-great days you have the happy memories to look back on? The kids were having such a good time at the park and it shows in their expressions.

 

[emmysmommy]

Tracy: That beautiful quilt is such a great labor of love for Emile! What a lovely gift! All these years later I have saved every baby quilt made for my children since they are such special heirloom gifts. I hope to hand them down for my grandbabies!

Judy: The kids definitely looked like they had fun at the Fun Spot. Personally I like your bubble bath idea... ahhhh relazation!

I would love to live somewhere where there's snow. At least until I had to shovel it or drive in it.

 

[KatMark]

Judy, I'm sorry it wasn't a good news day.

I loved the Fun Spot updates...looks like the kids were having a really great time.
