Really irks me that Tusker House is going to a charactar TS buffet - one of the few CS you could get a real meal with a green vegetable .

that's too bad, tusker house was great the way it was. flame tree is about the only place left to eat in AK.

Bubba's mom, those are all such great pictures. Bubba looks like he's a hoot!!!

 

[bubba's mom]

oh yeah...he's a character!

Bubba's Mom- I enjoy seeing the pics of Bubba and seeing his hair getting longer and longer too! I compare it to the avatar pic and from the one I remember before that when he had shorter hair. Glad I'm not the only one whose son looks completely different than he did a couple years ago! Does he have a hard time with people thinking he looks like a girl, like my son does? He doesn't at all to me, but his hair is probably as long as my son's!

And yes, I'm the same way about cold water! The first day I laid on the dock and basked in the sun while grandma and DS swam. The second day I worked up to floating on the tube with the wet suit on (but certainly never went underwater or anything!). Grandma was washing her hair in the water the first day and I wasn't getting anything above my ankles wet!

We're heading up to northern Michigan in a few weeks, but this time will be on Lake Michigan itself so I'm sure that water will be even colder and we'll get yet another chance to wear those wetsuits!

Still haven't had a chance to look for the other pics, but I did figure out how to download the videos from the digital camcorder to the computer and found that the digital camcorder actually has a flash for pictures - wish I'd known that before taking lots of dark pictures this weekend! We just bought this (for $80 from Circuit City) for the Disney/US trip because we don't want to haul the big camcorder along (the kids are no longer little and cute and we don't have a stroller to carry it and we already have a TON of stuff to carry on the plane), but wanted to at least have a little bit from the trip. Seems like this will be a great alternative - especially since it's so small (smaller than our camera). I can tuck it in a fanny pack, not haul it across my shoulder!

 

[marciemi]

Okay, guess everyone else is asleep! Well, one more fishy picture!

 

[macraven]

nope, i'm still here.

marci, let me tell you lake michigan is always cold.
i'm 2 miles from it.

it could be 90 degrees and that water will be 60 degrees.

it's not a lake that warms up


enjoyed all the pics tonight. marci and barb did great jobs!

 

[yankeepenny]

if you all want a chance to freeze your tootsies, come dip you toes in the pond at my house.......i swear the northern atlantic does not get above 60....they say it does....
i dont swim in it and i have lived near enough to it for 3 years now.....( not a salt water swim fan)

last year the only swimming we did was disney ......
we have lakes but....i am just a wuss.
we are finally gonna try the two water parks 5 miles down the road from us this year....

go ahead and say it...penny is a wuss......

 

[yankeepenny]

Hear is an interesting tidbit of information......
I need to be carefull here, as some of our office workers do peruse these boards, but not certain regarding this thread.....

I got my packet of stuff from universal(thank you , 5th try since january) and brought it to work{where else was i gonna read it ] one individual who has been going to central florida for oh say lots of years says," i never knew about these places, what are they about??????"

I AM NOT KIDDING YOU.........

 

[bubba's mom]

penny....oh c'mon! what kind of peeps you workin' with?? and, i don't swim in the ocean at the Jersey shore either....too cold. Florida and "south-er" for me

marci....nice fish yer boy got...didja's eat him??? sounds like me and you are in the same boat also (along w/ penny) when it comes to cold water! I don't blame you for getting a smaller camera....you were very smart! (If i could get away with something like that, i would!) The rare occasion someone thinks Bubba is a girl....all the boys around here have longer hair (and being in the industry, everyday i have an "argument" between a client and his mom or dad about how he wants his hair long and the parent wants it shorter..... ...please, please, please, do not put the stylist in the middle of that argument and ask "what do you think?" ...cuz MY answer is "whatever you want to do"

speaking of hair, both my boys got haircuts this past weekend....here's a pic of Bubba's hair just after i cut it: (him being that "hoot" we were talking about earlier.....)

well...off to get ready to take Bubba Father's Day shopping and off to work for a bit.......
check in with ya's later..........

 

[damo]

[tlinus]

Dh is hard to buy for......last year the kids found this shirt kit and the shirt says Best Dad Hands Down! and they each used a color (red, blue, yellow) and put their hand prints on it!!

I am stumped

oddly enough...DH gets something like this each year. I wanted something 'special' his first father's day, so i used fabric paint and a tshirt and painted bubba's little 5 month old hands and pressed them onto the shirt. well, i thought it was a once and done thing...but the following year when DH realized he wasn't going to get a "handprint" shirt, he was bummed. So, every year he gets a handprint shirt (after the first few, we had to only use 1 hand cuz both got to be "too much" and after a couple of years of 1 hand, i had to start dating them cuz they seemed too close in size!) so....we're off today to get the tshirt so we can accomodate DH yet again this year.......(i did ask how many he wanted...what the "cut-off" was, and we agreed age 10 .... whew!)

well homies....i'm off....have a fun day!!!!

Will it be an x rated PM or will I be able to read it without covering my eyes???

It's pouring rain here right now, I love days like today-we hardly ever have rain like this in Florida. I'm so used to the summertime quick afternoon showers that having a rainy inside day is a treat!

Following Bubba's Mom's haircut pic, here's one I just took of The E-last night was haircut night. I cut his and DH's this short every summer, it breaks my heart every time I see him like this, but he's SO much cooler.
