Thanks, but I didn't realize the first ones were so blurry. I could have had Brooklynn 'hold her breath' again until I got a good one. I guess we were just focused on leaving!
Yep, that's the next baby girl on her first (kinda) trip!
A bunch of you guys are going soon. You guys need to meet up and ride a ride together one day.
He was very nice. He greeted us outside and escorted us in. He gave Brooklynn a bunch of stickers and a balloon and made small talk with Jill and John about the trip.
Have a great mother-daughter trip. We love those!
Are you still on your lounge chair?
Each of the All Star trees had cool decorations.
I'm not going to do anything but responses this morning. I feel lousy. Now, with this cold, I seem to have a bit of a fever. It puts me in a bind, because I have a very important meeting I have to go to on a student today, and I really can't miss it. I shouldn't be at school with a fever, though. I've got about an hour to decided what I'm going to do.
Wow! Sewing out by the pool - that's fun! The sun, the palm trees, the sounds of squealing children having fun, the CMs hula-hooping...and you over there sewing up some of those awesome presents you give to people.
What a nice day!
And because I am not going to be on here long this morning, you're still going to be sitting there for a while!
Your kids were so sweet when they saw their grandparents. They just grabbed them so tight! I am glad your surprise worked out so nicely, and I hope you guys all had a great time for the rest of the trip. I know it was raining as we left, but I hope your Sunday wasn't too bad.
YaY... move over everyone, I'm climbing in the Sleigh for this Ride over the River too.
The Music Tree looks great. I have not stayed there yet (next year), but have been to Movies and Sports. Will be on my way to Sports this time next Sunday and will be there by 4 pm.
Even though I will be there, went to the Disney store in Mishawaka, IN. yesterday and got some deals for the Grandkids, 4$ plates and cereal bowls and 5$ long sleeve T-shirts , I knew I wouldn't find those prices down there, but I am looking forward to making a Dino at DTD. A Dino was one request from the youngest Grandson Christian and I was planning to get it at AK but when I saw the pic of all the Build a Dino's I knew exactly where I was getting it. Thanks for the pic. or I wouldn't have known.
Looking forward to more reads, have a Satisfying Sunday.
Nan
Another Diser there next week! I think there are four on this TR alone who will be there.
There were so many people walking around with those Dino boxes. I think it is a big hit!
Ever since I've been back, the prices in the stores have seemed so low. When you look at Disney prices for a while, and then you come back out here, the prices don't look all that bad. I've found myself saying, "Is that all that costs?" a few times.
Woo Hoo! The new trippie has started.
Was this Brooklynn's first trip?
We forgave him. He didn't know who he was talking to.
This was definitely not Brooklynn's first trip or the last !!!She is adorable in her outfit and goldilocks.
The Cypress Gardens pic is perfect, she even has blonde hair to match. I would love to take my DMom to Cypress Gardens, she loved it there and she hasn't been in a very long time. I thought it closed down? I guess I was mistaken.
Aww...Pilgrim Minnie. You showed so much restraint in your souvenier shopping. I don't think I could be so disiplined. I will start to save after Xmas so I will have enough. There will never be enough for everything...but a girl can try.
Walmart in Ocala
I feel so happy when I see the WDW welcome arches.It feels like we are finally there to me.
BrooklynnsMommy your belly is so adorable. You are glowing, or are you just happy to be at WDW.Isabella's first Pre Trip.
The tree at ASMusic is lovely. Nice close up of the decorations.
Good news to hear they have made a few changes adding the curtains at the resort.
My DMom came home the other day with lime green Mickey heads from Home Depot. She heard me talking about them and picked me up a few. She loves Home Depot so I will have lots of opertunities in the coming year to get a good collection.
Happy Elf your name is so fitting for this time of year.My DD has changed her mind a dozen times already, I've told her it's too late.
Nicole have a wonderful time with your mom at WDW. Have fun!!!
I'm not sure about Cypress Gardens. I'll have to Google it and see what comes up.
I was only disciplined in the spending department because I had to be. I need some things done around this dilapidated house, so I have to be sure I don't owe a million dollars on a credit card.
The curtain at ASMusic was great. I slept on a twin blow-up mattress over by the sink, and Trent and Jarvis had the two beds. I got up, closed the curtain, and was able to get ready without disturbing them.
Good afternoon MeMom! I did end up buying a tree--I want to say it's a balsam fir. It's soft and has tiny needles, so I'm hoping that it doesn't drop a lot. I don't think it would happen, but I don't want my dog eating the needles.We already have gifts wrapped and under the big tree, but it hasn't been decorated yet. Hopefully later!
I saw your tree and your lights in your bedroom. Very festive!
I'm hopping on the sleigh ride also! I love the pictures so far, and I hope everyone on your end is happy and healthy through the season (and beyond!)
I'll be following along
Bring a warm blanket on this ride, because it is cold around here. I think I'm extra cold, too, with this fever I have been so privileged to acquire.
I hope we are all (everyone on the TR) happy and healthy throughout the season and throughout the year ahead, too!
It was fun. I have lots of shopping pictures and lots of Christmas pictures, but not too many ride pictures.
It's just amazing to know that on the other side of that bump is a real live human being that we will watch grow. Once she's here, it will be hard to remember what life was like without her.
i'm here now.
How many trips does this make for Brooklyn now?? She is only two and she has been to WDW more times than I have (age 28 and 4 times)
I love that the toys I played with are back. I got a Care Bear and a Popple doll (remember those??) for my 2 yr old niece for xmas. She probably does not even know what they are but I am soo excited to give them to her because I had so much fun playing with them as a child.
Love seeing jill's baby bump....is this pregnancy flying by? It seems so long ago that I was pregnant and it has been almost 11 weeks now since I delivered.
Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony - I've seen them all, and it took me back to when Jill was little. I've missed out on seeing the Popples, but I certainly do remember them.
It is confusing, I guess, if you don't know us.
Either that or I'm just a really rude poster!
Jill (my daughter) starts the reports, because she doesn't get to be on the computer very often. We're hoping that will change in the new year, as she has asked for internet for Christmas. She gets on when she can, but I do most of the writing and picture posting.
If you really want to be confused, go back and try to figure out what happened at the beginning of the Magic Camel report! That one is really confusing!
I thought I recognized your daughters, and then when I saw your LGMH, I knew it was you, but you were already walking away. I would have had to be completely sure it was another Diser before I said anything, and by the time I decided it was, you were leaving.
On the Fourth of July, we were at the Poly beach watching fireworks, and another Diser who was up in the concierge lounge took a picture of us from afar and put it on the last report. It was strange to see ourselves from someone else's camera, but it was cool that they saw us and recognized us!
*********************
I hope you all have a cold-free fever-free Monday...and the rest of the week, too. Trent and Drew both have colds, too, so it's just a lot of fun around here right now - watery eyes, sniffles, coughing. I want to crawl back under the covers and sleep the day away, but I don't know that that's an option.
Stay warm, everyone!
I have a regular test today plus a research paper due and a presentation on it and three more finals in the coming days! Great timing, huh?
