LOL, sunshine state. Rain ALL day today. And for the rest of the week, most likely. The parks were DEAD, but apparently yesterday was evel slower.

I did not go to Hard Rock Park. We stayed in the Charleston area the whole time.

a really crappy day here:headache: , drive by to see if all the natives (although restless) weathered the storm...carry on my wayword sons:goodvibes

We went to downtown one day. And it rained. And the streets flooded.

There was a lot of awesome architecture there. Me likey good architecture.

So another soggy day in FL. Well it was hard to sleep because the rain was pounding against our bedroom window. So what did we want to do today?

Go shopping?

No.

Go see a movie?

No.

Go to a museum like Ripley's?

No.

So where did we end up going for my sister's birthday (she is 25 today)....TYPHOON LAGOON. Surprisingly, one of the best days we have had there. No lines, no waiting, the wave pool maybe had 50 people in it IN AUGUST. Had a really good time, and it was warm!

Then we went to Golden Corral for my sis...her choice of course. Tasty, and extremely filling meal....

So we went back to our Timeshare, rested for a little while, and then around 8ish we hit Downtown Disney. Do a little looking and shopping and head back. So here I am now. The rain is hitting the window and the wind is blowing. What can you do?


So going back to the morning....

Who would think to go to a waterpark when it is raining? (except Disney or UO diehards of course!)

You ever had the feeling that there was a reason why you did something or why you went to a certain place. Well as silly as this is going to sound, I believe that there was a reason that we went to Typhoon Lagoon today.
Well the day turned out to give us a surprise.....

Be back a little later with the story and pics to back it up....
 

Now play nice and SHARE your good news ... I need to know now I will have to come on in the morning to see the pictures .

I bet she had a year of a million dreams thingie happen to her ..but i don't know ..Still waiting :rolleyes1

Night night all :cloud9:
 
Unfortunately, it was not anything from the Year of a Million Dreams....one can only hope :cloud9:

The story may seem silly to some (maybe most), but I think it is cute.

Well we decide to go to Typhoon Lagoon. At this point it is pouring and we just want to find one dry spot to throw our duffel bag. So we find a little "hut" by Ketchakidee Kreek and throw our stuff there. We head to Shark Reef and then to some body slides. After, we decide that since we are close to Crush n Gusher, we would take a spin. As expected, no line.

So we go around a few times. While my bro and father decided to take one last spin, I decided to wait for them in that little pool on the side. So I hop in, sit because it is so shallow and look around. I then spot something abnormal.

Can you guess what it is?


It's a rabbit!

So I look over, call to my sis to come over, and went to check if it was ok. Well he was just frozen in place. He could not go anywhere :( If he had jumped off, he would have drowned, and ho could not hop up.

We had absolutely nothing to pick this thing up with. My father and bro come along and watch the rabbit as I go over to the lifeguard. I tell him that he is stuck there and if he had a net. (There was no way I was going to pick it up with my bare hand...too many diseases nowadays)

The lifeguard did not, but he did call to get someone to bring something. Well 15 minutes later, no one had come, the poor little thing was shivering, and we had drawn an audience of obnoxious people that of course, "knew what to do." I told them to back off because you will have some fool try to be a hero and wind up doing more hard then good. (When it comes to animals, I do not tolerate incompetence).

So the guard called three times and nothing. So I went to a different lifeguard (who did not speak English), and got a towel. At this point, I scooped it up with the towel and put it in on the side. Well, he didn't move. He was just kinda stunned.

So I yelled to my brother to get a dry towel to try him off.

He was still not really moving and shaking so I scooped him up in the towel and held him against myself to keep him warm. At this point I was calling him Thumper and everyone wanted to see the bundle I was carrying.

We decided that he was still to shaky to just let him go, so we brought him up to the Guest Service area, where EVERY CM wanted to take a look and say hello. He finally had stopped shaking and I could feel that his breathing was more rhythmic. Well, they call the Disney Animal Control and a guy comes with a little carrying case. He said that he will find a nice dry place for him.

It seems that no matter where I go, the lifeguard skills always kick in ;)
 
Way to go Katie! Saving the poor little bunny. I bet it was scared nearly to death.

And a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATTI!
 
Good morning,from a soggy Florida.Hard to believe Melbourne got 25inches of rain...
 
Well...we have another beautiful Florida day to deal with. I'll be glad when $*%&# storm is gone! :mad:
 
Hmmmm, sounds like fun with the bunny:upsidedow
I hope that US will be fun for my little guys...only 4 and 2.5???
My sister is coming with us so I believe that the boys will have a GREAT time no matter what!!
AAHHHH stop the rain in Florida you will all become fish!!!:rotfl:
 
Hi Homies!!!

KStarfish82 - Awesome save for that poor little bun. :goodvibes

So I just found out we might not be able to swing our November trip, I am totally bummed. We are going to push it back until after Christmas. If any of you had to pick between February, March, and April, which month would you choose to go to Universal? :rolleyes1

i found it fascinating how they built the homes long & narrow (keeping frontage small) to escape the tax man;)

WAY TO GO KFED:banana: you have such a nuturing nature:goodvibes

Hi Homies!!!

nutz, sorry to hear.

i'd try to avoid spring break, we really liked early Feb before President's day (although it doesn't really matter if ur onsite @ U that day i suppose;) ); we made the mistake of thinking Epcot was manageable so we went to the MK:scared1: ...live & learn

I just bumped up our flight down to a 6:45 am departure (more time @ U:banana: , more time for family to whine about waking up early:rolleyes: )

have a great day
 
Afternoon everyone

K-fish ... that Bunny was so sweet ... glad you were able to rescue him/her :goodvibes

Todd ... if it's any consolation, it's another cool rainy day here today too - very autumn like.
 
Good afternoon homies!

FREEDOM!!!! :cool1: :yay: :dance3: :woohoo:
Nice to be away from my kids for a time being.

First day of school for my kids! :banana:
THey will be getting off of school in 2 1/2 hrs tho.
I woke up with a nice headache this morning, still have it :headache:

Went out toTarget and Walgreens this morning.
got some other stuff done this morning.

Was able to crank up my Wishes CD and play it about 3 times already! :cloud9: My dd Chrissy hates when I play that CD. she turns it off on me usually.
Playing other CDs now.



K-Fish- WTG with rescuing the bunny!
Oh, and I love Typhoon Lagoon!! I love the wave pool there! We didn't go to TL on this last trip, but went on Chrissy's MAW trip 4 yrs ago and back in 1994.

Tinker-tude- WTG rescuing the puppy :dogdance:

Hope the storm will go away for all our FL homies :wizard:

Hi to all :wave2:
 
Just wanted to show off my handiwork in making us matching shirts for US/IOA. THese were a huge hit! Not only at the breakfast, but because they don't actually sell a "thing 5", DD9 got so many questions and attention, she just basked all day long!


(camera reset its date, this pic was really taken last week!)

Loved the bunny rescue:goodvibes

my DD13 couldn't wait while I ran back into grocery store, so he took the keys, went to car and sat in drivers seat.
A little boy went by the car and said to his mom, "Look a student driver."
The mom replied, "No, honey, that's just a midget.":rotfl2: :rotfl2:
 
turning40- cool shirts and pics! :thumbsup2
I take it your kids may wear those for Halloween as well?
