OK first things first
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 
Can't wait to hear about it!!!!
Now, I know I just read the whole thing so let's see if I can remember everything I want to comment on...
I love the surprises

--no one can ever surprise me but I would sure love for Danny to try a Disney trip or Hawaii either would be awesome...
your crew certaintly looked to have been a lively and fun group...I love ALL the group shots

you were right about the magic...Dayne at 16 kept telling me to give him his share of the money and he would just stay home and spend it on his car. Once there he was like a child again, although no shots w/the characters (we really did not have too many to begin with). And, now he tells me not only does he want to come back w/Danny & I next year he plans on going there for his Sr. trip

(only problem he will still be 17 in May--no chaprone, not legal to travel outside of the state w/o a 21yr old chap).
The character meals look to be lots of fun...we scrubbed ours this past May and boy was I sorry--I should of at least taken Ashton, Danny, & I. Esp. since the older ones went to Rainforest w/o us

. We were trying to save money

.
Cruises: we did it once in Dec 2001 we went on the Holiday out of NO at the time--I have a pic of me, my mom, & Gwendolyn w/the same piano

. We keep saying we are going on another cruise just always seem to make other plans. Next year was suppose to be Yellowstone and it has become Disney again. One of my girlfriends is planning a trip for Thanksgiving out of Mobile if I finish Ashton's med bills by than and can swing it Danny & I may try (although I have not left Ashton except for one night so far).
I know I know--I was young when I had Gwendolyn & Dayne and they were at my mom's as much as w/us. They have traveled all over the country w/my parents and I just do not feel my mom is healthy enough for a toddler this go round. She is only 58 and dad 62 but she has problems that she takes alot of meds and limited mobilty that makes it hard for her to chase a tot. and he just adores them. I also have issues this go round--long story no one wants to hear

And, poor Gwendolyn is really smart but just does not have a clue what a toddler/preschooler is capable of
Well, I will sign out at this point--have really enjoyed your TR up to this point keep it coming.
