This will only be my 2nd trip to the World. I am a Land expert, having owned an AP for more years than I can count. . .I get to the land every time I make a trip back to Cali. . .of course, I have only been gone from California since August. . .lol

Actually, I get a kick out of your humor. . .and your neice and nephew are priceless. . .so accomodating for Uncle. . .lol

And here I am making an important phone call to the Powers That Be at WDW:

How did that phone call work out for ya?

Sweet kittie -- fast asleep!

If you know our group by now. I think we're more interested in taking crazy pix than we are actually enjoying the park itself...but heck that's half the fun.

Here I am on the Trek:

How we get Erin to do all these things I don't know. It must be in the genes:

And finally Dylan gets in on the action. He looks a little less enthralled with the whole "Let's take a crazy picture":

My faves of the day! I am totally making my family take silly shots at WDW!

Here's me doing my ape imitation:

You're all too funny!

I've got to go to work, I wonder how many pages I'll have to catch up on when I get home?

Ummm, I went to bed at 12:00 and when I finally had a chance to get back on, it was seven pages of reading!

 

[jwwi]

Dude, this is the problem with living on the East Coast. I wake up to a new TR with 6 pages already, and an update.

Oh, and I think this would make a great flat Jordan:

that would make a great Flat Jordan!

 

[englishrose47]

I know.......but where are they.....

[WendyO]

Ask Wendy about AK and going commando...

There has got to be a story there!

Do we have to wait for Wendy to tell it? Remember I'm very impatient!

I remember she went commando, but don't remember why...... You'll have to wait until tomorrow morning...sorry.

Wendy!! Did you go "commando" at AK????

Wendy- Can't wait for the commando story.

Ok - just a quick pop in to quell the masses. Don't get too excited, it's really not *that* great of a story... ha ha ha. Ok, about the commando story... first some background for those non-Friends fans... here's an article describing what "going commando" means.

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/11/13/1037080784799.html

Quote from the article: Asked for a personal favourite from the new phrases, Stevenson cited "go commando," which the dictionary says means to go out wearing no underwear. "We got it from the TV series Friends," he said, "and then we tracked it back to American college slang in the mid-'80s, and we reasoned that that's when the writers of Friends were probably at college. It could have been a private joke in a small group about commandos being too rough and ready to wear underpants ... it's turned into a phrase that is recognised by a global audience."

Ok, back to the story: So in 1999, on a particularly warm day in September, we found ourselves at AK. I was wearing a loose cotton-poly outfit that sort of combined tank top and shorts, and buttoned up the front - so it sort of looked like a dress but it was shorts (note: I may try to post a pic of it later - but it's really not that important). Anyway, we had gone on Kali River or something where we got all wet, and due to that fact, I tried to go in the restroom to dry off... but ended up just removing an article of clothing (I'll let you figure that out) since that wasn't going to dry as fast... (and who wants to sit around in wet clothes all day). So then I promptly told Jordan (yes, we're a weird family that way) - who's a Friends fan - "Psssst, guess what - I'm going commando" To which he appropriately responded:

Ha ha ha ha ha. But it was an amusing day nonetheless.

Those pictures of Dylan and Erin crack me up I do that to my kids all of the time (ask them to make different faces, etc.) but most of the time they do not indulge their crazy mother

How does Wendy get them to pose for so many pictures? I need her secret. My girls (especially the oldest) don't like posing for pictures at all.

Get kids who are natual comedians. Ha ha ha. Or very vain. I can't recall exactly, but I think it was actually Erin's idea to do the different emotions... not on this trip but some time prior - so she's all "Mom, ok, take a picture of me scared"... "Take me sad"... "Take me happy"... etc. Dylan hasn't quite mastered the nuances of the more complex emotions, so we keep his pretty simple - happy, sad, scared, etc. Sometimes we'll make the face ourselves and he just copies us. Erin comes up with her own interpretations of the emotions we ask for. Sometimes we're all, "what? that's your scared face? what's that all about?!" Ha ha.

You know I love those crazy pics! Just imagine the pics that Dylan and Erin will take when they grow up...

They already like taking pictures of things. Many times they just do it pretend (make their hands into cameras and say "cheese" and then "click") - so it's pretty funny.

Dylan: "Erin, take a picture of me saying cheese"
Erin: "Ok... (holds hands up like a camera)... say cheese"
Dylan: "Cheese"
Erin: "Click" "Ok, my turn..."
and then vice versa...

What hams they are. They find themselves amusing (wonder what relative they get THAT from? ) so that lends itself to their comedic acts.

I just hope they don't end up in therapy or Wendy and Derek will be sending me the bills...

 

[jordanyosh]

How did that phone call work out for ya?

They haven't tracked me down yet......that's a good sign. They probably have a record of my cell number.

My faves of the day! I am totally making my family take silly shots at WDW!

You're all too funny!

We're crazy....just wait.....

Ummm, I went to bed at 12:00 and when I finally had a chance to get back on, it was seven pages of reading!

Sorry, we got chatty.

that would make a great Flat Jordan!

Scary

Thanks Jordan !!

You're welcome Rosie....

 

[nurse.darcy]

I just hope they don't end up in therapy or Wendy and Derek will be sending me the bills...

My kid probably already needs therapy. . .he called me today to tell me that we MUST stay at AKL in August because he cannot take goofy pics with the apes and other animals if we stay anywhere else. . .I am scared. . .lol

Makes sense to me!!!

I want to see a pic of Jordan's face when you told him!

They haven't tracked me down yet......that's a good sign. They probably have a record of my cell number.

You know it. What do you think those finger scans are really for? You are now tagged as Lecherous Kali Man!

We're crazy....just wait.....

Sorry, we got chatty.

I am just jealous that while I was dealing with middle schoolers telling me how many times they have been busted making out in the movie theater, you were all having fun on the DIS.

 

[nurse.darcy]

oh oh....

J, the sad thing is he is 15. . .I have really corrupted him. . .I am scared now. . .lol

 

[imp&pixie]

Eek!! I'm gone for a day and a half and I have to read 20 pages (first to finish off the Part 1 report and then to read to the present here) to get caught up!! Phew! I doubt you will ever be in danger of having your report sink to page 2 .

Great update! The kids are as cute as always! The first picture of the tigers is fantastic - I love the architectural detail that their pool has. We never got to do any of the treks at AK :sad.

A couple of cutie patooties!! DS doesn't have a sibling, so he does things like this with me instead. Sometimes it feels a little silly taking a picture with a pretend camera when I have a real one hanging around my neck.....but I wouldn't trade it for the world!
