"Personally, I think I would make a great stripper!" 8/10 The End

[SRUAlmn]

I swear, do your kids own stock in Hollister?

 

[rndmr2]

Great Update! It's great your kids get along so well for the most part and can have fun together, makes vacations so much more fun. Looks like that was such a nice place to stay, too. Can't wait to read more.

I hadn't heard the whole story about Baylor's accident either, that's horrible that he had to go through that and then suffer more because his so called friend wouldn't call for help, and the mother wasn't any better! Good for you for doing all you can for your son.

Somewhere, in the great abyss that is our Downstairs Bookcase, there is a video of my dad and me playing tetherball at WL. It was one of those days similar to the one you described, where we'd done the park in the morning and were just chilling, and we wandered down and Dad proceeded to teach me tetherball. Dad and I are both very competitive...my fondest memory growing up is playing air hockey with him in the mall arcade, and we were forever sending the puck flying across the room. But Mom had the video camera and has our whole game, and recently I found it and it just made me smile. Being 19 and in college, Dad and I aren't as close as we used to be....he still sees me as his little girl with pigtails and I get annoyed that he hasn't realized I'm not a little girl anymore. But I cherish every memory we have together, and that little snippet of video made my day. If only I could find it now.

In other news, I actually have a guess for the contest. My guess is Nemo, because you can always say that your wanderings were all just trying to find him.

My daughter who is 5 now wants to go there since she was standing over my shoulders when I was reading your trip report and saw the pictures.
Tell her it is perfect for a Princess! We were thinking Ariel might jump out of the water! (That was before the evil step-sister BP & friends decided to pollute the waters! oy! I don;t know what the future holds for the keys and it makes me just sad for all those affected.)
Side note she wanted to know why Baylor's teeth were silver- had to explain ortho since she has never seen anyone with braces.
I told him and he laughed!

My guess is Max from "A Goofy Movie" because of the road trip.

Good guess & reason!!

I guess Grumpy because of Dan of course

Smart woman!

I'm going to guess Stitch cause he's a lot of fun, but also causes some trouble. Just like boys...

Amen to that!

Great sunset pics! The ship in some of your pictures (the schooner, not the catamaran) is the Wolf, I think. You should definitely consider a sunset cruise if you go back, they're awesome and you could meet my dad! He plays music on one of them. It looks like you had a great time!

So jealous! Does your Dad live year round down there?

Hi! I just recently finished reading all of your TRs... I loved them! You are a talented writer! Thanks! I hope that my children will grow up to be as close as yours are!
Tie them together often and they have to be!
First of all, I wanted to say that I hope everything works out with the suit! I am in the medical field and did my residency in a hospital with a burn center. I spent lots of time there and almost accepted a position to stay-on post
residency! Burn patients and their families have a very special place in my heart!
Thanks for saying that and I am so thankful people are willing to work at burn centers or volunteer. It is a special group of people who face those sights daily and with such compassion.
Now onto the contest... My guess would be Pluto due to his stellar/creepy dance moves during one of your WDW trips. You named a TR after him... How could you not have made family t-shirts with his image!

Another great reason and choice!!!

Okay, I'm not sure of your favorite character. I don;t think I have one.
I'm going to go with Goofy - because your family just seems a little Goofy! (I know you won't be offended by that!, it's really a compliment!)

To say we are a little goofy is an understatement!

DANG IT!!! Minnie Mom stole my answer. This is what I get for sleeping in. I'm out of ideas, so I'll sit this contest out.

It still has not been guessed yet! No quitting allowed!!!

Character eh? With your creative mind it is hard to say! I could guess Snow white and the seven dwarfs, but you don't have quite enough dwarfs. So how about Buzz Lightyear since you really did drive to infinity and beyond! LOL!

Snow White is almost too manby panby for me. She is a whiner and I think if her and I had to ride in a car together - I would have to slap her. Now Buzz. He is 100% nutty with a side of compassion thrown in. Totally not a realist and I adore him. Good guess.

You are such a awsome mom. I would have needed bail
money. I was pretty close and when Baylor is teased at school because the kid has told people Baylor started himself on fire on purpose - I get a wee agitated.

I am going to guess-Ham, the Piggy Bank from Toy Story.

Totally a fun guess!

On another topic, if someone is close...I'm gonna go for Donald Duck! Because....he's not afraid to speak his mind, and neither are you!

It is so funny reading your guys thoughts about the character and they why. LOVE IT!

I hope when we go to the beach they will amuse themselves a bit. I think it's going to be DH who gets bored! I'll be reading!

Have him give you foot massages every day and a manicure so he has something to do!

I swear, do your kids own stock in Hollister?

NO! I just am a bargain shopper! Plato's closet and thrift stores baby! Treyner worked at Hollister his Jr year and Sr year a total of 6 months I think but he only got a few things from working there. I guess I never pay attention to what they are wearing in pics! - Just at their goofy faces they make at me!

I hadn't heard the whole story about Baylor's accident either, that's horrible that he had to go through that and then suffer more because his so called friend wouldn't call for help, and the mother wasn't any better!

The incident itself may have been an accident but the rest was not and that part is what grates me.

Love that story! Thanks for sharing it.

Ohhh! Great idea! We have had nothing from Nemo yet.

BTW - nobody has it and I said people MAY be close not for sure so keep guessing!!!

Ok, I'll quit lurking...

My guess is Lightning McQueen from Cars because of how many miles you drove...

Love the trip updates... The sunset pictures are beautiful!!!

But I got chills when I read Baylor's accident cliff notes... That "friend" got his heartless behavior from his Mom... And I bet the insurance lady is related to them because she doesn't have a heart either!!!

I'm glad Baylor has you on his side!!! And that's awesome that he wants to sponsor a kid at burn camp!!! You raised an amazing young man!!!

 

[praisehisname]

Your day of "nothing" sounds wonderful. I'm like you and love the sound of my kids having fun together. I would have loved to hear the sports commentating from the guys!

 

[javamom]

I will vote Captain Hook, for no real reason. It's just a guess.

 

[Dizneydawn]

You are brilliant! Love that reason! No right but great reasoning!

I would have loved to hear the sports commentating from the guys!

My boys are too funny. For example, at lunch 10 minutes ago, we had creamed corn. This lead Baylor to start singing "Jimmy Cracked Corn" and by round 2 of the song it had transferred into "Jimmy's a crack wh0re and I don't care." Followed by verses on what went wrong with Jimmy to lead him to become a transvestite drug addict. I think I have shared this but Baylor has told our pastor that his goal is to be on comedy central. Not sure what kind of college degree we will be searching out for that one!

Now this is Baylor BTW who used to think and sing at age 3, "Save big money at my nards" (Menards is a store like Home Depot here in MN) instead of, "Save big money at Menards." Listening to the song, it is impossible to not hear how he heard it, even now. None of ever corrected him. It was too funny his way.

There is a song played in Illuminations that Baylor until 2 years ago, was inspired by him because it does sound like it is saying, "Baylor, Baylor Baylor." I will have to try and find it.

The sports commentating was pointed and funny. One guy was as translucent in color as wax paper. Several vampire comments were made and offers to sacrifice Carsyn.

I will vote Captain Hook, for no real reason. It's just a guess.

Maybe cause he pretends to be tough and evil yet wears heart boxers and is emotionally on the edge of tears or screaming at any given moment. Maybe he is a transvestite in the early stages of menopause.

 

[dgthree]

This is what Treyner usually looks like.

And now, the resemblance between Baylor and Treyner just jumps out at me!

 

[Dizneydawn]

And now, the resemblance between Baylor and Treyner just jumps out at me!

I am laughing because I see no resemblance in them in this pic. Just Treyner's big ole nostrils he can flare out.

Treyner has more of a long, prominent nose and Carsyn and Baylor have a shorter one. Treyner's is more ethnic looking.

Isn't it funny what different people see!

 

[SRUAlmn]

Ok, my guess (based on the little mention in the last update) will be the Muppets. Although not 'Disney' characters, they have a show in DHS, so I say that counts

Which Muppet Sneaky Pete?

 

[SRUAlmn]

Which Muppet Sneaky Pete?

Oops, sorry, didn't know how specific I needed to be.....just one?? Um...........Animal!

 

[Foxen]

Oooh, does that mean Muppets are close? I'll piggyback an answer and guess... Statler and Waldorf? No, you mentioned them, too obvious... I'm going to go with Fozzie, because you're such a bunch of goof balls.

 

[Dizneydawn]

Oops, sorry, didn't know how specific I needed to be.....just one?? Um...........Animal!

Thanks! I love Animal. Actually my favorite character might be Kermit now that I think about it and Disney owns the Muppets now so I guess it can count.

NO IT IS NOT HIM BTW!!!

Oooh, does that mean Muppets are close? I did not say that but if I need to pick one that is the closest because people don't guess right - I have to have specifics! I'll piggyback an answer and guess... Statler and Waldorf? No, you mentioned them, too obvious... You are right that would be too obvious! I'm going to go with Fozzie, because you're such a bunch of goof balls.

Thank you - I am glad you could not use a term for a character that is described by a word ending in "holes."

 

[javamom]

Ok so do I get to guess again? I am going to guess... Grumpy because he doesn't get enough character love.

 

[YukiPhnx]

Disney Jo already guessed Grumpy.

 

[Dizneydawn]

Ok so do I get to guess again? I am going to guess... Grumpy because he doesn't get enough character love.

Put down your Sunday Mimosa and listen up!

#1 - No you can't change!
#2 You guessed Captain Hook and it is an awesome guess!
#3 Grumpy was taken by DisneyJo who is from England and she knows how to hurt people.

BTW - if you ARE a Tag Fairy...I have none. Feel neked. Depressed and such.

Ya know.

Non-Fairied.
