I wish my lazyness could pay off like that for me!!!

Congrats on all the deals!

 

[marvali]

im surpised marv didnt say anything about your spelling.

I actually started to comment that it was good she wrote it so you would understand it, but I decided to just let it go.......

It's one thing to pick on you, but you know how I hate picking on Rosie!!!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Wow! That is fantastic news. $1200 of credit can go far.

it sure can, we have a few options panned out where we can do 2 trips with it, but not sure we will it depends on a few things as well. like when we have to use them by.

the lady said 1 year, but not sure if we have to travel within that time or just book it by that time...we have to call back and ask.

I wish my lazyness could pay off like that for me!!!

maybe we will work together.

I always wanted to be one of the princesses but I don't think I'd pull that off at retirement age.

Is anyone going to disney within the next month or two?

 

[All7OfUs]

well i dont think that airline flys to FL, they mainly go to the western states.

how far are you from the airport?

So, I take it that it wasn't AirSuckyTran?

About an hour and a half. Why?? Coming to the Beaver State?? You can fish and hot tub via our hospitality.... just sayin'....

[MeTink]

It's nice to see warm weather and green grass in your pictures

 

[KatMark]

Awesome news on the airplane tickets and Hawaii. We've not been for 27 years but we remember it fondly.

nope going alaska airlines.

just asking your info thingy says Portland OR and i thought that ment you were pretty close to the airport...we have a one night stay over there on our way to hawaii, just seeing how close you were.

i thought your hot tub was closed because of all that hair on your feet getting in the filter.
JK they are putting us up in a hotel for our troubles free of charge.

Not until May.

darn

We are leaving March 4th, what can I do for you??

well i was looking for someone that would not mind checking to see what new disney racers they have going right now, just wanting to know if they have ones that parker would like for his birthday. the ones i find on ebay are almost all star wars ones.

i would pay someone for them plus shipping if they had ones that he would want. no pressure though

It's nice to see warm weather and green grass in your pictures

is this a little hint that you want to see green grass pics of our trip i know it has been a while since an update but been very busy with other stuff right now.

we got another 3 inches today on top of what we got last week.

Awesome news on the airplane tickets and Hawaii. We've not been for 27 years but we remember it fondly.

this will be my first trip there, i am excited.

hope we have good weather.

 

[carissanboys]

Wow! Awesome news on the credit. I want to go back to Hawaii some day. When we moved back to the states from Australia, we stopped in Oahu on the way. But, we were pretty jet lagged and didn't get to enjoy it as much as we could have.

thats why im glad we are there for good amount of time, enough to adjust to the time change and relax and have fun without going strong every day

 

[jillybeene71]

Chapter 32. To grandmothers house we go.

Yep your eyes are not decieving you, I am doing an update.

I hope everyone comes back to read.

It has been crazy around here with big projects, busy at home, weekend trips, grandmother getting sick in another state, big snow storm, work called off for a few days.

But as a bonus I will try and do the whole day update together in one chapter, so we can get back to another park day.

This was another off day.


________________________________________________

My grandparents (moms parents) moved to FL about 6 years ago full time. they live 2 hours from disney on the west coast in North Port.

so when we go disney (and have a car) we go and see them.

This was our day.

we woke at 7:00 which was pretty easy even though we had a few drinks the night before and a few more with Mr. Glennbo.

on the way there we pass by the disney electric pole

there are also flat bedding areas every couple hundred feet or so for the osprey birds to nest in.

we hung out at there house and they gave parker some presents.

he loved the construction hat that went with the truck.

lunch was at applebees to celebrate my grandmas 80th birthday which was close to the time we were there.

when we got back to there house we had cake and parker played with all of my grandpas old train items that he has in his office.

he also felt that that truck needed to drive over him some i guesss.

the pics with my grandma didnt turn out as well so i will leave those off.

we knew we had a good drive back so we left after cake.

it was nice to see them again, and they ended up coming up to visit this summer so we saw them for about a month while they were here.

on the way home i zonked out for about an hour, and parker was knocked out for the whole 2 hour trip home.

since we knew that we would be coming home around dinner time we thought that eating at carribean beach would work out since we love there CS food, and could easily stop with the truck on the way back without having to take buses.

i had some pictures before in the TR toward the beginning of the new kid area at FW here is a picture of the new one at CB...it is pretty much the same except the pirate ship on the end has a enclosed twisty slide where the FW one has an open double slid...where that one is pretty cool, i liked ours better for younger kids to go down so they dont get scared in the enclosed slide.

dinner was awesome, i had the turkey dinner...while everyone else had something italian.

we played the gift shop for a bit then headed back to our camper.

when we got back we picked up our packages from our shopping the day before at DTD.

Packing lesson 101 for Mr potato head.
1. if you already have a potato body, dont include one in your box( take yours with you)
2. if you do not have a body - buy one at walmart or another store for about 4-8 bucks.
3. when packing the box, pick out everything you want and take it to a table.
4. start with some big items first in the bottom, if the big item has a void in it anywhere fit in some small stuff in the voids.
5. get it packed up to the top and see what you have left.
6. play tetris with it, if you hold it up and look in the clear "window" of the box...if it looks like that mickey bar accesory will fit next to the donald lips, take out the pieces and put it back together with that in there.
7. dont get discouraged if it takes 3-4 tries to get everything in there(it took me 6 to get everything i wanted)
8. once you are done, before you close the box, go around the accessory items and pick out the small items and try and squeeze them into any extra air that is in the box...
9. dont forget to throw in an extra pair of ears, hands, eyes etc...those are little items that fit in small areas and you always seem to lose those.
10. it is okay to let one side not close all the way, or if you have to dont worry about the box tearing a little when closing it. see below this is what hte outside of mine looked like.

hope those were some helpful hints.

FYI: if you do need to get a body there, dont forget to pack the inside as full as you can with stuff the medium size items work best with some small things packed in to open areas, and dont forget the flap on the butt comes off for easier packing then you can put it back on at the end, or if something is hanging out a little then you can just put the "butt door" in the box with the other items.

i wish i would have taken more pics of it, but when i was taking this, my mom was giving parker his luggage that they got for him, and i wanted a pic of that.

the night was still pretty early, and we were on vacation so it was time for a swim.

here are some more pics of our kid pool area.

what is that little man up to?

ahh looks like he was getting ready to jump off head first, and go down.

now he has the right idea feet first.

this is one of my favorites, no need to stop for a drink while swimming just open your mouth close your eyes and run through a fountain and get a drink.

after swimming we changed for the chip and dale sing along.

parker enjoyed taking a cookie to chip and dale the night before with grandma and grandpa so he wanted to do it again with us.

looks like they never got the cookie this night.

but they still played with him and signed his book.

and they even let our whole group in for a picture.

there is no booze in those cups on our seats.


this is our new neighbors that pulled in across from us,

after the sing along candi and i ran down to the outpost (by the boat docks) and took some pins with us to pin trade with the CM's

this was the 4th night in a row that candi could not get out of her shower because there was a little baby frog that was blocking her way that scared her.


so once again sorry there was so long in between updates, hope everyone enjoyed this one.

I wanted to get a Mr. Potato Head the last time we were there and my DH didn't think it was a good idea. I think that I will buy one at Target and get some accessories the next time we are down there

Looks like you had a nice visit with your grandparents. And Parker is too cute! He is just adorable in each picture!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I love the picture of Parker hugging his great-grandpa!

Great Update Dan !!! The first time we went to Disney I packed the box and Judy was really impressed how much I put in it !!They had packed it first and then I said "Stand aside "" and she couldn't believe how much more room I had left for more stuff !!
