welcome back Dan!

 

[Sooze]

Hey Dan! Just got caught up and watched the precious video of DW reading her "surprise". Parker is JUST adorable and so precious when he laughs and smiles! I bet you guys are having a ball!

I also noticed the cute Mickey Block activity.. I bought Shaelyn the same thing back in January, she just loves it!!

Have fun planning details. Sorry the surprise didn't quite work out the way you wanted. But at least now you can share your excitement with Candi!

That's incredibly sweet. DW is lucky!

Whatever I can help you with Dan, let me know...If it isn't mousekeeping envelopes, maybe a t-shirt design to do an iron transfer? Itinerary cards (blank so you can write in them) just let me know!!

Right now we are staying in your old stomping grounds, CBR, but if i can get a nice enough AP discount, we might bump it up to AKL or something if its available...

 

[cherbear]

oh did I mention...I'm finally caught up!

I almost forgot that I hadn't read everything here and then I remembered today.

I just want to comment on CSR...You should DEFINITELY request a room near the main building (or pay for preferred) because I stayed there once and we were WAYYYYYYYY far away from the main building and was a big ole pain in the patootie!

I didn't see where anyone mentioned this yet so I thought I should. Especially since you have a wee little one this time!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

we went to south haven michigan...glad you did not come up with any crazy things about where i went.

Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. I just didn't post them here.

So, what's in Michigan? Did you have fun? What did you do? How was the baby's first vacation? Did you come home with a little souvenir?

I'm playing Sharky today with the questions.

i thought about it, but we are going to just go with teh flow and go where we go...we dont mind walking aorund the resorts to get to the stops and restaurants we just have fun being there...thanks for the advice though.

Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. I just didn't post them here.

yep, im very laid back we dont rush things, we just do what we do...we will see how it goes,but we are not going to push anything just have a good time.

we wanna see the slower more relaxed side of disney this trip.

ok, so I made it over here (finally) and though I said I was getting ready for work I just couldn't help myself..I HAD TO POST! LOL.

DW is so lucky...I wish I could be surprised with a trip--doesn't have to be Disney, it can be anywhere...ahhh how to put a bug in TC's ear?

Anyway I am sitting here thinking about how you said your trip is 151 days away on my report...WELL---that is scarey to think that December is THAT close! I am freaking out...That isn't many shopping days yah know?

SOOOOO..I see you are staying @ CSR???!! You won't be disappointed. It is by far my favorite moderate resort. Yes it is HUGE, yes the Pepper Makret can confuse you a tad at first , but the buses are AWESOME (think empty), the pool is SUPERB, the food is SCRUMPTIOUS, the grounds are GORGEOUS, the cm's are AMAZING....SO now that I have given you all the words I can to explain CSR just take tons of pics and soak up the resort. Everyone I have sent there has thanked me and have fallen in love.

Hmmm, Dan I have been making my hubby read your report hoping and crossing my fingers he will do this for me one day!!!! I guess you can say I gave him a big hint hint!!!

glad you too reading my report over getting read yfor work.

i know those are some of the reasons that i chose it, i have seen many great pics, and heard some great things about it, i am sure that we WILL NOT be dissapointed in it, like some of the flubs that we had at ASSports last year.

well if he reads the whole thing, maybe he will come across your last post hinting at him doing this for you...then he will definitely get the point.

HEY FELLAS BOOK A SURPRISE TRIP FOR YOUR LADIES.

Well we are back and i am finally getting to the Warm up trip

We are going to Disney with my parents in Fall of 2010 and camping at FW for 2 weeks...so we are now in the Camping warm up phase.

So this is the Disney warm up for 2010 part of the PreTR.

First off, where did we go.

We went to South Haven Michigan from June 30th to July 3rd

Who went...well you already know us, but we have 2 additions to this trip that we normally have...

So here is a picture of my mom and parker.

And one of parker and my dad, i think he talked to Jordan and he told him about the tongue in the pictures.

Where did we stay, right here of course.

Other side.

And a shot of the rear.

It is about 40 foot long, has 3 slide outs, full kitchen including celing fans...3 flat screens There is a main bathroom with a shower upstairs and another bathroom in the back that has a seperate door to the outside in the back by the bunks.


Has 4 bunk beds, and can sleep about 14 if you fold all the tables and couches down into beds...so we were nice and comfy in there.

We willstart with our ride up...My dad (refered to as Grandpa from here on out) told parker his job was to watch behind us and make sure that the camper kept up with his truck.

Well Parker got tired watching the trailer and fell asleep within 10 minutes.

A shot of Parker and Candi waiting to go down to the beach and check things out.

He wanted to watch some of his Movies, so we threw in a baby einstein for him.

When we got down to the beach, we saw a pirate ship coming into port...and it was a tour that you can do where you act like a pirate and they take you out on the lake and they show you how to raise the sails, and you sail around for a while...it looked really neat, but i am sure it was kinda pricey.

Coming back into town from the beach this is the harbor with all the boats.

It was a long day and we went back to the camper to relax and we ended up playing some cards outside while parker took a nap...i won of course we...then we gave parker a bath before bed time...

He would lay like that on the floor and watch tv while he got his bath, it cracked me up that he threw his hand behind his head, that is how i watch tv in bed as well.


Tomorrow we hit the town, and check out the light house.
