POFQ. We stayed there in October, standard view. It was nice. We ended up with a courtyard view. It was nice and quiet. Short walk to the pool, laundry, main building and parking lot. I think we were in building 4. I wouldn't pay extra for a water view as the grounds are wonderful no matter where you look.
I think that I am feeling better today. Since the aches and pains keep moving I feel strange going to the doctor with no specifics. It is probably the low pressure system that has been sitting over Vermont the last week plus. I really feel fine other than moving aches and pains. If it gets worse again or other symptoms develop I'll get to the doctors. We have crappy insurance so I really hate to go for anything, especially if I don't think that it's treatable. I did promise myself that I would get a yearly exam this year as I haven't had one in 3 years, which is the new standard anyway.
I spoke with Hunter's teacher this morning and she had just finished his state reading assessment and she was so happy with his results. It seems that he tested way above the standards and was in the top band. I'm so proud of him and am actually impressed that he has started reading for enjoyment in his spare time. He has a science fair project due next Friday so we will be working on that this weekend. He is going to make various sizes of egg drop protectors using upholstery foam. The teacher suggested that he make 3 different sizes and we will test them from different heights. We already have an 8" cube made. We'll probably make a 6" cube and a 4" cube. If the 4" cube protects the egg we might have to make a 2" and test that too. Nick has a big project due on Vermont. He has chosen the Maple Syrup industry as his topic which make sense as he already knows tons about it as we have done it for years. I know that I took a lot of video a couple of years ago, but I've got to find it and hope that we took video of all the steps, otherwise he'll be making a scrapbook or brochure of some kind.
The second weekend in June we are camping and they are having a themed weekend. The theme is Mardi Gras. One of the fun events is a costume contest at the Mardi Gras dance on Saturday night. Last year I won first prize. I had a short black dress with green, gold and pink diamond patterns in the front with a mask that I had made. I wore hot pink heels and thigh high fish net stocking which sealed the deal for the dj who apparently had a thing for fish net stocking
They give free nights camping as adult prizes and small gift certificates for kid prizes. Prizes go to the top 3 adults and top 3 kids. So I put my thinking cap on today to see what unusual ideas I can come up with. This is what I have so far. I think I'll have Chris wear some brightly colored shorts and a tank and make him some "beer goggles" and put a lampshade on his head. I was thinking of using plastic beer mugs for the goggles with picures of a beautiful "10" woman taped to them. I haven't worked out all the details yet, but what do you guys think? I'm thinking of wearing one shoe and a table cloth with lots of Marid Gras Beads
Any suggestions on what kind of table cloth would be obvious and Marti Gras looking? I think one of my kids could go as a boombox. That would be easy to make using a box. He could even have music blaring. Colby wants to be the bee hive so I might have to add beads to the bees or something to add a Mardi Gras feel. I haven't come up with anything for the third kid yet. So please anyone not on their way to WDW could you give me ideas/opinions. I am trying to do this without buying much as it doesn't make sense to spend a bunch of money for one night.
We are doing a Hawaiian Luau at the same campground in July. I thought we were going last year, but got the weekends mixed up. I had made the costumes so I will be able to use them this year. Chris is a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic Suntan Oil, Hunter is a Palm Tree, Colby is a blue sparkly fish, I am a Tiki God Totem Pole and Nick is a Bear in a grass skirt. Those are all done.
Thanks for reading this long winded post.
