Thanks for all the compliments! I know it's not as detailed as a lot of the trip reports, but it's the best I can do down here with this wonderful connection and trying to type on a laptop keyboard!
Today we got up TOO early again to go surfing. DS12, 15 and I surfed, DH took pics, DS14 slept in! I didn't do as well today. Rode all big waves, but probably only stayed up about half the time. Guess it was just beginner's luck last time, but still had fun. The two boys of course showed marked improvement and were doing very well and having a great time. We rushed out of there right at 9am and hurried to Osprey Ridge where DH and DS12 then played 18 holes of golf in the sweltering weather. Went through 2 water bottles and 2 gatorade bottles each, filled their hats with water at each hole and dumped them on their heads, and said they were dry 5 minutes later. Picked them up around 3pm and DS12 came home and just melted into the sofa. We just had a bad storm for an hour or so and he finally got his second wind and is in the pool now.
Meanwhile, after they went to golf, DS15 and I went over to Downtown Disney to do some shopping. I also had a friend who's going to WDW in November and has some old tickets that she wanted to see how much was left on them so I went to Guest Relations there. Didn't tell them anything and just asked what was on them and they told me (which coincided with what my friend thought), but when I asked them if one was a child ticket and how you could tell (which she'd also thought), it was suddenly third degree time. Where I'd gotten them, etc. Explained the situation and the CM then refused to tell me anything more and was really witchy about it and the fact that she shouldn't even have told me anything since they weren't my tickets. Guess tomorrow when we go to MK, I'll take them, explain that they're MINE and ask a different (hopefully friendlier!) CM! I knew you had to do it in person, but didn't know they were so paranoid about it!
Then we came home and just relaxed - managed to read the entire Harry Potter book (7) today! It was just too hot to even bother going out in the pool and we were just too tired. DS12 has suddenly discovered Harry Potter and brought book 1. Since then we've had to go out and buy him books 2, 3, and 4 - he's just finishing 3, and hopefully 4 will hold him through the rest of the trip since he's not a super fast reader and we have them all at home.
DH and the older 2 boys are at DD tonight for Cirque. They called and said their seats were awesome, but haven't heard from them since then. Tomorrow we do CP for breakfast, then all the favorites one last time at MK. We plan to go back in the evening for Spectro, but that's probably about it (saw Wishes last time so we'll try to beat the crowd out!) Sorry today is so boring!
Oh, and Tricia - I have a lot of those days! Mine are more like "I haven't strangled any of them today so it must be a good day!"
One little girl who had only been with me for a week had been napping for a while. I went to check on her, and noticed her eyes were open. So I softly spoke to her, and she didn't respond. 
Didn't even blink. Scared the crap out of me. Found out later from her mom that she occasionally sleeps with her eyes open. Gee, I wish she had told me that ahead of time! 
guess we're the ones your mother warned you about.
