Space Mountain: Clothing Optional - All done and true even if it is April Fool's

Sorry you encountered so many rude people that day, first on the train and then the rude girls. Good on Carsyn wanting to stick up for her brother but I'm glad she didn't need to take it any further

Great update, and I am sorry for your loss. That is great news about the life insurance, especially in these uncertain economic times. It's great that Nathan left a llittle something to smile about in the wake of tragedy. It really shows his personality

It was a great way to hear something that made everyone feel a bit lighthearted.

It is so good to see kids sticking up for each other, that's when you know that despite what they say, they love each other.
I know...sometimes you wonder if they really would vote one of the island!
As for the idiots laughing.....well, I can't think of anything "dis friendly".
It was the only time it happened on the trip. For us that is actually pretty good numbers!
Your trip on the love train had me laughing.

I was laughing...and hoping my jeans gave him a rash!

It was really an awesome day and rude people are just part of the world ya know. I think you just realize it more often at WDW because you have this vision of rainbows and unicors and everyone being in a "We are the World" moment.

As for Carsyn - she is one person I would not cross. I don't know anyone not afraid of her even though she is not a fighter. She packs some muscle and could kick most men's hind end's!

Great update Dawn!!
I love how your kids really stick up for one another and have each other's backs. I hope someday my kids will reach that point. Right now, not so much! LOL! They have their moments.

I'm glad there was something happy to hear about Nathan that made you smile. I'm sure it's hard to do at a time like that, but it sounds like that's the kind of guy he was - making people smile!

Your kids are too cute, and the love that is between them was so evident when I met them! They can give each other as much h@ll as can be dished out, but anybody else better watch out!

I wish you'd gotten a picture on the love train, but probably the picture in my head is funny enough!

When my dad died, the line at the visitation was out the front door of the funeral home and the wait was about 2 hours. That meant so much to me~ to see the love that people had for him and hear their stories. I know that it meant just as much to you to know how much Nathan was loved!

Mine have always been each others biggest protectors. They also have caused the most dameage to one another as well on accident so your enemy may be closer than you think!

He was totally like that. Just an awesome man.

True enough!

I have one picture...

This is the back of the kids heads and Dan's knee. I was in top row squished in the corner, Dan was one row up on the opposite end and the kids ended up in the front row. Ricky Ricardo was on my lap I tell you when he was not being mushy with Lamar Burton. It was like a United Nations threesome with me not an invited guest!

The kids were really moved. Such a tribute and you are right, the stories will always hold them together.

I checked out your Al's video and I remember that one! Pretty funny because I am not a regular viewer of the show! I totally remember the small seating area and the food looks delicious! Especially the eggs benedict. Holliandaise sauce makes everything taste better
So awesome that your kids have each others back....two of my nephews are very close in age and they not only get along very well but would most definitely stick up for each other as well.

How old are they? My kids are 2 yrs 8 months for Treyner to Carsyn and then 2 years 4 months for Carsyn to Baylor. Carsyn was sent to school at just 5 so she is the youngets and her and Treyner are 2 years grade wise apart. Her and Baylor are 3 years in school. He will be a freshman next year when she is a senior. She is excited to torture him and he knows he is in for embarrasment!

I am so very sorry for your loss, Dawn. What a lovely update. It breaks my heart to know that those girls were making fun of him but warms my heart at the same time to know that his brother and sister united to protect him. Hang in there!

 

[Millie12591]

Good post, babe. You gots good kids.
Hearing about the insurance upgrade for his family was outstanding. Kisses from God, kisses from God my friend.

 

[disneyaddicted]

I loved yourr AK updates. I can't tell you how many times I have been seperated from my kids on train/trams because people can't stop for a second and let the people who were first board first. Good job spreading out and taking some room from the lovers. I would have been very tempted to stab something sharp into his @ss, I say don't put your butt out there for me to see cause you won't get it back in the same condition...and speaking of fubaring a derrier, GOOD JOB CARYSN!. Even though she never got the chance to do it, that might be a good thing for those girls.

I am sorry to hear about your familys cousin, I know I'm late with this but the sentiment is still the same. I pray that your family heals quickly from this loss and that the hurting will become less and the happy memories be dominant.

Some people will always be cruel and the majority will always be great. Part of life and that includes knowing who will stick by your side!

Totally agree! That silver lining amongst the sadness is overwhelming.

Can you just see us getting hauled off in handcuffs for fighting at AK? That would be an eppisode buster on COPS for sure!

Ty I appreciate it and I love your new title BTW! At first I was thrown off...like "I did not sign up for this one." Then I got it!

Off to the Y this morning and then possible a CT scan. My brain is missing or missfiring lately.

I will admit this because I have to. It is just too funny not to talk about.

Ya know how I have the cheerleader for celebrating 40 this year and how many of us could go to Disney at the same time to celebrate together etc., etc....

Well I discovered something last night.

I

AM

ONLY

TURNING

39.
YUP...I will be 39 in August. Not 40.

Last night when I had Dan alone and was sweetining the pot I was trying to sell him about a couples getaway in October, I said, "It would be a great way to celebrate 40."

He looked at me with those steel blue eyes of knowledge and said, "You will not be turning 40. You will be turning 39."



Well slap my @ss and call me Sammy Davis Jr.

Who knew?

I said, "How old am I now? 38 or 39?"

He said, "What year were you born Dawn?"

I said, "Don't confuse me with math."

Dan replied, "You were born in 1971. You are currently 38. You will be 39 this year."

Awesome.

Alzheimers at 38.

Now I have to figure out a way to sell him that it is the last of the huraah's for my 30's!

 

[PrincessOliviasMom]

I laugh only because I have to do the math too in order to figure out how old I am ... and I was also born in '71.

Well then I have a news flash for you too.

Spreading the joy! Spreading the joy!

Unless you found a the fountain of youth and time morphing...your siggie is not accurate!

Ok, now I'm confused. I thought we were always talking about NEXT year for our big 40th birthday bash at the world. Didn't we say April 2011??? I am so confused.

I finally got caught up on all the TR from the weekend. We had auditions here and I could have used Carsyn for some backup a couple of times. I need her to be old enough to go out to bars before I'm TOO old to go out. I think we could get in some trouble!!

Are you still thinking about October? I hope so. I'm full-blown into planning that trip since the Feb. trip is done being planned. Now all I have to do is survive an airport at 5 am with 17 teenagers!! Disney better be ready!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

at least you have never been walking into a casino and had the security person ask for your ID, give it to him and then they ask you how old you are, i said uhhh, hey hun how old am I, she tells me my age i tell the lady then the lady just glares at me...i say what i forget those things often.

it took a few more forms of ID for me to be allowed in that day.





needless to say i ask the wife how old i am now when i know i will be asked. especially before i enter a casino again.

this story happened when i was 22.

 

[DisneyJo]

OMG Dawn how funny you were a year out, I'm 37 today so am a long way off 40 BTW can you remember when 40 sounded soooooo old and now we're almost there

Yes but I at one point switched in my head that I was turning 40 this year and just was going to celebrate late. Good grief. Who knows. Let's just celebrate 4 times a year so we have it all covered!

She might be ready to be a foreign exchange stuudent next year! Knoxville and St. Louis are technically foreign!

I am seriously wanting to go. Dan wants somewhere new...so maybe a split stay in Orlando and elsewhere!

That is a riot!

I can tell you I was sitting in my room in high school and gazing at Simon LeBon's perfection of a physique and thinking..."But he is so old. Will he wait for me?" He was 27 and I thought that was on the verge of death!

This entire thread is hilarious, DizneyDawn it seems like you have a wonderful family. I will surely be awaiting more hilarious antics from you.

Years ago my Mom and sister came out to Pa to surprise me for my 30th' birthday, They showed up around dinner time. I was so floored to open my front door and see them standing there. Really? You drove out from Mi, for my Birthday? You guys

then after dinner my DH brings out the cake, the grim reaper is on it and it says "Relax, I'm only here for the cake." I laugh cause it was funny, then I see on the tombstone next to the grim reaper it says "Happy 30th"

Is that true? Am I really 30? Is this a joke? They made me do math....on my birthday! Hurt me, beat me, tell me I'm turning 30?! I got my first gray hair that night and I swore I heard my bones creak. I aged 1 year in less then 1 minute!

"Mom said "I thought you would take turning 30 a little hard, that's why we planned to come out here for your Birthday."

I could hardly talk, "Yea, but I thought I was only turning 29.":
