Love the pictures of Epcot's rope drop and Soarin'! Hopefully our younest will want to go on Soarin' this trip. He's a bit scared of heights.
Love the pictures of Brooklynn from Saturday!
Her eyes are still smiling in her sad and mad faces.
I hope he will ride it and think it is so cool!
She was having fun making faces. She couldn't hold a pose but for a millisecond before she started smiling!
Man we go away for a couple of days to celebrate Declan's b'day and you go all out.
I think I just went through 5 pages while me students were writing a test. You were busy - name dropping, visiting the kin, talking to yourself, and updating us on EPCOT. Even a picture of the golf ball zooming by on Soarin. I'm impressed.
Have a good day MeMom.
Our little boy is growing up! How old is he now? 8?
What kind of presents did he get? Why didn't you tell us so we could have wished him an official Happy Birthday?
Here's to you, Declan:
I hope it was a good one!
I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures and reading all about your trip this summer, since you guys haven't been since um, I forget...when was it that you were last there???
I was at that very same rope drop!
I'm going to look for you in my pics!
I can not believe how grown up Brooklynn looks in some of the pics from this weekend. Wow!
Were you on that side over there? We were about two rows back in the crowd, so I guess we could be in your pictures.
I certainly hope not, though.
I never realized how fuzzy Donald Duck's face is. It's so very cute.
I'm really impressed that you could get pictures while riding Soarin'.
I really, really want pancakes now.
I just snapped over and over and got lucky on some and didn't on others. I was pleased. It was enough to remind me of the ride, and that's what I wanted.
Maybe we should all plan a pancake/talk about Disney breakfast sometime, since there seems to be such an affection for pancakes. And Disney.
Brooklynn is so happy with her stuffies, playing on her swingset.
Wow, the yard is so huge, she has enough room to hold a large DIS picnic.
I took down our swingset last summer, the kids are too big for it and it is a pain to mow around it. I have the sweetest pics of my babies swinging away.
You took some great pics on Soarin, I really enjoyed the ride. I laughed at Jarvis's comment. So true, Disney does a good job of making things seem so real. I bet I even flinched the first time I saw it.
I AM SO EXCITTED YOU ARE OFFICIALLY GOING TO WDW NEXT WEEK!
You so deserve a nice trip down for yourself. You can always call your sweet girls if you get lonely. I'm sure there will be a character or two to put a smile on your face... perhaps Eyeore
I think a DIS picnic sounds wonderful. Do you know how to get to Boondocks, AL?
I will be on the phone with them a lot. Brooklynn will have a hard time understanding why I'm there and she's not. She thought she was going when her friend's family went, and Jill had to explain that Rosie was going without her. I think that was after Brooklynn had told Rosie she would hold her hand if she was scared on Haunted Mansion. Now isn't that just the sweetest thing you've heard today?
Brooklynn was going to hold her friend's hand so she wouldn't be scared, and in the end, she didn't even get to go!
when we went with my best friend's DS who is 4, we told him it was like a big swingset. he was a little nervous but he did fine.
It is like a rockin' awesome cool swingset!
I hope Brooklynn loves it when she's old enough to ride.
Great update! you guys had such a great time together. I am so in the mood for pancakes now.. lol
so it is official. I just booked a trip for a short short short weekend in April. I am going from April 24 - April 27th. Since I do not want to waste my DVC points, I am staying at Pop on April 24th and then I will use my points at Saratoga Springs for the 25 and 26th. My client at ESPN gave me two free one day park tickets so Joe will use those and I will go to renew my Annual Pass.... I think we will spend most of the short trip relaxing at the hotel.. we may even go to a water park... I am so excited!!!
Sounds like much fun! Even a short trip is wonderful to me!
I love Brooklynn's emotions! She is too cute! I just love that age where they can start playing little games like that.
We visited both my inlaws as well as my college roommate (and her family) this weekend. I told my hubby this morning that if we are going to be doing any more traveling to Michigan to see family, it's going to need to be a 3 day affair until the baby arrives.
Brooklynn is a lot of fun to play with. It takes me back to when Jill and I did all the same things. Jill used to say, "We are prens (friends), Mommy." I'd hug her and kiss her and assure her we were the best prens ever!
I'm sure you were drained with two boys and growing a baby and all that travel.
Those pictures of Brooklynn are just precious! She has so many friends, shes a very popular girl
I love how she's such a ham for the camera, making all the different emotions! Too cute
Well, to be honest, we
buy most of her friends.
She's not camera shy. She knows just what to do!
Yes, that was one of the great selling points on our house. The yard is a half acre. There is lots of room to run and play. Last spring we fenced in the backyard so now we can juts open the back door and let the dog and Brooklynn come in and out and play.
And they both love it!
I love that CM. The past two times we went to EPCOT, he was there. Both times, he would laugh and say," Look at all you trying to get in while I'm trying to find a way out." He was very good with the crowd. I hope he is there next month when I go. Yippie! 26 days until we leave.
Glad plans are still on for you to go next week, MeMom.
Why couldn't I have that job?!?!?
As of this moment, we plan to go.
I don't know about you Jill, but I think having a fenced yard with the ages of our kids was our smartest decision ever. They love the freedom and I love the safety!
Yes, and this one is high and wooden all around, so it is very private. The neighbors had fencing already, and then the back people fenced, so all they had to do was the two front sides. Very nice deal.
It looks like you and Brooklynn had a great time together. Even with her scared and mad faces, she looks happy. I am sorry it will be so long until you see Brooklynn again, but I am glad I will get to read about another trip. So, the trip is definite now? I hope you have a great time.
Definitely probably.
I enjoyed seeing how you and Brooklynn spent your weekend. I remember playing with my stuffed animals that way too!
Yep, fun stuff. I love seeing your little ones in pictures, too.
I'm another who loves Soarin'! It's just makes you feel so free, even if it is simulated! I love going over the ocean with the surfers!
And tell Brooklyn to send some of those pancakes my way!
We're having a pancake party; didn't you hear?
Plain or chocolate chip?
And of course I didnt' have a little sister like Brooklynn is going to have to play with now
such a crazy world.
I can't believe how fast she is growing up!
