Squirts, Shirts, & Flirts...The Legend Continues (TR started 6-23)

[mnmrmustard]

hey glad to see you back around, hope life was not to crazy in between

yep we have cashed in for 375 on the one site so far, and the 250 of that is in the mail.

and i have 78 from my disney visa on my dresser

i love the toy story movies, cant wait to see the third one

and hoping that we can find something to move to as well.

i had a very detailed dream of a house last night, that i have never seen before.
so hopefully that is a house we are still to see that have not seen yet.

Lets just say it was just crazy enough

The third Toy Story looks like it is going to be a lot of fun, we're looking forward to seeing it in 3-D.

Very cool about the dream ...a literal "dream house." It's gotta be out there, may you find it soon

Hey Dan,
Your doing a great job collecting your reward points. I hope the house hunting is going well. What a great deal on Toy Story! We just bought The Princess and the Frog. I am REALLY looking forward to Toy Story 3. It actually comes out while we are at Disney and we have tossed around the idea of going to a late showing (or if we have bad weather). Have a nice Easter!

Chapter 13. We add a 6th person to the trip.

Well i learned some news yesterday at easter.

My grandma is now coming with us on the trip.

WELL sorta,

We go through Atlanta, where my aunt lives, and we are going to drop my grandma off with my aunt for the two weeks.


Our second day we staying at a campground just north of Atlanta, so my aunt will drive up and have dinner with us, and pick up my grandma. Then on the way home we will stay at the same place, and she will drop her back off again.


It will make the first half of the trip a little more crowded, but my dads truck is big, and fits 6 people comfy in there.

So it should not be a problem, plus she adors her great grandchildren so she will love traveling with parker for that part of the trip.

Hope everyone had a great easter.




and since i have not done the disney trivia in a while i will do a little now.

the guest book in the entry way in the brown derby has the signatures of the stars who have eaten in there.

in one mans dream you can see the desk from walts childhood.

notice his initials carved into the top of the desk.

in toy story mania, where htere are lincoln log creations, look at some of the corners, you see, blue and pink, on the corners, they are meant to be silly putty and play doh, to hold it together.

 

[glennbo123]

That's great that Parker and great Grandma will get some time together, traveling in the truck. So she'll be visiting an aunt while the rest of you are at Disney?

Interesting about the lincoln logs. I'll have to look for that.

 

[Trentmom]

That will be nice for your grandmom to see Parker. Sure he and she will love that

Glad trivia is back

yep he loves spending time with her, and it makes her day to see him.

she will also enjoy playing games with him in the back seat.

i faintly remember seeing hte lincoln logs like that last trip.

That will be nice for your grandmom to see Parker. Sure he and she will love that

Glad trivia is back

i know im glad i started it up again also, i feel bad, but by the time you catch up on all the other reports, you feel like you just dont want to do a update, im a bad Diser, i will try and stay on top of the trivia to finish out some of my favorites from the book before i leave.

 

[belle8306]

That will be a fun trip! I am enjoying the trivia. Since we have such a large group going (and some have not been to Disney or haven't been in a really long time) we are sending out newsletters with helpful tips. Hopefully, they will help everyone have a smooth trip. Do you have big birthday plans for Parker?

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Just checking in - nice to see your plans coming along and getting close! Good luck with your house hunting!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Wow, we really envy those of you who travel in big family groups! We can't seem to get any of our family to commit to a trip..... even when we offer to pay for most of it. Total bummer!

You guys are going to have so much fun! I finally have our itenerary somewhat set....if I don't change it again....you know how that goes! I will have to go back and read yours & glenn's plans to see if we cross somewhere.

 

[All7OfUs]

Hey Dan! LOvely that Grandma gets to make part of the trip with the big group! I think she'll be a wonderful travelling addition, and hooray that your little guy gets to see his G.GM for a spell. Love it!

Wonder if it will make a difference in the kind of road tunes you'll play- or not.

yep we do,

i am taking off on his birthday next friday, and we are going to chucky cheese early and play then have pizza there.

and then he gets to go to the albanese candy factory where they are one of the largest gummy bear makers in the county/world to get some candy.

then umm, i forget what else candi has planed for the day, but i know she is going to decorate the whole house with the cars stuff from his birthday last year.

and then the next day is his big birthday party.(it is thomas the train)

Just checking in - nice to see your plans coming along and getting close! Good luck with your house hunting!

thanks, we found a lot we really like last night, now we just have to check into to see if there are soil samples, and it is in the county so it would need septic and well, see if those are capable on that lot and so forth.

cant wait to see what you picked as your plans.

most of our family (on my dads side) are always up for a trip, we love traveling together. Last year we took a big trip to mackinaw island together there was about 20 of us.

well she is pretty into her hard core rap music, so we might have to take those CD's away from her, and force her to listen to our disney CD's and parkers disney movies.

but hopefully she wont be to much trouble, otherwise there is always the option of leaving her in the bed in the camper...

i dont think she will roll around to much in there.

What a gas!!! Too funny. You should ask Tim about strapping her to the roof. It'd be Vacation all over again!

well if she was on the roof it could act as a wind deflector to keep bugs off the front of the trailer.

good idea, thanks, i will run it by my dad.

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Nice update! That's awesome that your gandma gets to tag along for the road portion of your trip. Even if it is on the roof. In which case we expect pictures.

Do you want to adopt me !!!!

Reminds me of a trip down South we made when judy was an early teen!!We set out in our Green staion wagon and half way ther Judy pipes up with "All we need is Gramdma strapped to the roof and we would be on VACATION"!!!! We rolled then !! It was here first ever night in a hotel and she asked to stay alone while we went to eat !! When we returned she was coming outta another room !! Turns out the toilet over flowed and she had them move her !! My ex thought she had rented her own room!!!

 

[FairyGodmotherJen]

Wow, I was incredibly behind...DIS time is very limited lately, unfortunately!

The wedding pictures are GREAT! It's obvious you guys were having a great day. Congrats on the house situation - DH and I built our house ten years ago (yikes - it sure doesn't seem that long!) and it was fun. Lots of decisions to make, which can overwhelm you at times, but I'm glad we did it. Of course, we've outgrown it, and will probably end up putting it on the market next year after we've done some overdue maintenance. I cringe at the idea of keeping it clean enough to show to prospective buyers with three kids, though...

If your family is like ours, having your grandma along will just mean one more person to entertain Parker! We drove to VA beach last summer with both sets of grandparents...a kid for each car, worked great! I know you'll all be in the same car, but that'll just make it easier to keep the little guy happy, hopefully.

Happy birthday to Parker a bit early. You're much more "up" on the plans for the birthday - for Will, I know that we're having lunch on the 17th with family, and what we're getting him. I guess for the third kid, I'm a bit birthday partied-out. But we also don't need a whole lot of added stuff that comes with big birthday parties. And you and Candi are so good - you've had his pictures taken, too. I did attempt to get Will's two year pictures taken last week...when we approached the room he started screaming, and literally hung on to the doorway to keep from going inside. Nothing we did would calm him down. Needless to say, we left without pictures. I was a little concerned - we haven't had pictures taken of him in over a year (I know, third child syndrome), so I thought maybe it was just such a foreign experience we'd have to get him used to it. Come to find out, after he started running a fever of 102 that night, he just had strep and bronchitis. Nothing like three kids on antibiotics for spring break! But at least it (hopefully) wasn't the pictures that freaked him out...he just wasn't feeling good. I guess we'll have to try it again and see!

I'll try to keep up a little better from here on out...

she is still pretty sharp for her age, she throws out one liners all the time teasing family members.

im sure i will have a bunch of funny quotes.

i think that is one of the favorite movies of many, maybe we can throw it in the DVD when we stop the first night, grandma will think it is funny

parker will have a blast traveling, my mom and us have a bunch of little suprises for him to open as he travels along
candi does a good job of keeping the house good, so we should be okay there,
we found a lot we liked the other day, just have to do some more checking on it.

i am sure it was just the sickness coming on that was having him upset, i bet he will do fine if you go back.
