The Mouse-KIDS are in charge...a Jan '12 PTR NEW 2/5 TR link & new tickers

Oh I love the summer collages, what a great idea!
Looks like a nice crowd for the Autism Speaks ride! Too bad about the rain!
 
I love the summer fun collages!! What a great idea. I love that Steve & Larry signed the back. :rotfl: Silly girls!

I know they are kooks ;)

Looks like the weather wasn't so hot for the autism ride, but otherwise a great day!

The summer fun collages look so nice! :goodvibes

Definitely looks like the weather wasn't the best for the autism ride, but what a great cause! It's so wonderful that such a great group participated!

thanks all...it is a fun way to wrap up the summer and be able to look back on what we did :thumbsup2 yes the rain was a bummer...but still a good event :goodvibes
 
Love the photo collages, wish I was organized and creative enough to do something like that too!

Ahh, the Autism Ride. Brian and I did it for 3yrs, sadly he sold his bike a couple years back so we haven't been able to do it the past two years. It was an amazing experience. Go Team Nathan/Rebekah!
 


maybe we'll have to send her a penny from Chicago :thumbsup2 and oh BTW we have decided to postpone the DC trip for next summer for now...maybe we'll revisit the though later...but sadly for now it's off :sad1:


I was just coming back to play catch up and was going to ask you about DC.

Hopefully this means a trip to Disney to see the new Fantasyland instead?? I think we may do Nov 2013 and Oct 2014 and get AP (or if we find we really like January then we'll do May 2013 and Jan 2014). Either way, we can't go wrong!! We're going to try to work out our points to stay at BLT again and pray they have availability!

I imagine most folks will want to stay at BLT and do the new FL, too!
 

just giving myself a little bump...don't worry January we havn't forgotten about you :goodvibes

* Mom has several clothes actually already pulled for the trip...I know very silly :rolleyes:

* Naomi-Ruth is packing her bag :laughing:

Nope, not silly in the least!! I pulled out the girls clothes and washed them for our January trip about 1.5 months ago!!:rotfl:

And Elie was packing too a few weeks ago...asked her what for and she says Disney! Love the way little kids think!

Also, wanted to comment that I love the planning books (comp books) for your kids. I will copy that for a future trip.:thumbsup2

And I also like how you had the kids watch the planning video and then write down what they liked about it and want to do.

Such a simple planning tool -- they don't even realize they are planning! I will do that little trick, too.

I have 3 of the 4 park videos and we always watch them starting a few weeks prior to the trip...need to bring them out sooner, now!

Can you believe you are almost going to be in WDW again??!! I'm so excited for you!:banana::banana:
 
Seeing the pictures of the kids planning the trip just warms my little "plan happy" heart!

The summer collage is a a great idea. What an awesome end of summer tradition!

DHS plans look great. It always seems like our DHS day is PACKED full as well. I'm sure you'll be fine, you're pros! ;)
 
In case you haven't seen yet ...

Fantasmic- not being performed 1/9/2012 -2/12/2012.

I'm a bit bummed b/c we haven't seen this show in years and Rachel has never seen it. We had just promised her that we'd go in January.

Oh, well...guess we'll park hop that day and see Illuminations instead.
 
I'm so confused as to why I haven't been over on this thread, apparently I never subscribed to it and was too enthralled in your October countdown! :laughing: Well, with only 12 days left for that trip, :dance3: I better get settled down to countdown to January with you!!! :woohoo:
 
so sorry I am so behind on hello's and updating this PTR...been so busy w/ our Oct. trip..

Love the photo collages, wish I was organized and creative enough to do something like that too!

aww thanks :thumbsup2 it's a fun project...did you notice it the other day when you were over?

Ahh, the Autism Ride. Brian and I did it for 3yrs, sadly he sold his bike a couple years back so we haven't been able to do it the past two years. It was an amazing experience. Go Team Nathan/Rebekah!

yes I remeber you telling me that...should come by next yr to see them off...always cool :thumbsup2

I was just coming back to play catch up and was going to ask you about DC.

we haven't talked about it for awhile so i still think it's off...but we'll see :confused:

yes after the little jan trip w/ the kids we are planning a June 2013 trip w/ my parents for a longer stay and in celebrations of the twins promotion from 8th grade that year :eek: they are getting old....we won't be staying at BLT that time but AKV-Kidani due to points...it could possibly change to T-giving week again...but not sure I think we can get better airfare going in summer and that would be another trip away for part of the Holidays....:confused3 I do think that a Jan quickie will be repeated! :thumbsup2

And Elie was packing too a few weeks ago...asked her what for and she says Disney! Love the way little kids think!

sweet :goodvibes

no worries I have been so enthralled w/ my oct trip anyways :laughing:
 
the next Disney trip w/ the kids :cool1: :banana: :woohoo: :dance3:

As I had hinted before the kids were coming up w/ ideas for how to countdown our next family trip. Nathan came up w/ idea to do a puzzle to reveal a picture...then Rachel came up w/ the idea to have it be a picture from the 4 parks and then Matt put it all togehter...

100_1291.jpg


It's a numbered board of the 4 parks icons that Matt created pictures tiles to go over each number that when finished will be a mosasic of us from our previous trips.

100_1295.jpg


I added a title above it and the kids decorated the top w/ stickers.

When it's complete...we'll cut off the top, frame it as an awesome keepsake :thumbsup2


Putting on the first tile:

Seriously. You put my countdown chain to SHAME! That is amazing, I would try to replicate it if I thought I could! WOW!!! :worship:
 
Apparently I am going to have to step up my game in the countdown calendar area. What a fantastic idea! My chain is not worthy! :worship:
 
There's a reason I didn't do a countdown calendar, and it's because NOTHING could ever top this! HOW awesome!

(P.S. - I swear that NOT doing a countdown calendar has nothing to do with the fact that the trip is a surprise! :lmao:)

Seriously....your countdown is WONDERFUL! I absolutely LOVE it!
 
Wow! What a great countdown!

Wow - Amazing countdown!! :thumbsup2

thanks all...I will share your "Ooh's and Ahh's" with Matt and the kids when they get home from church...I'm on Day 3 of feeling sick (which royaly stinks :headache:)...I had a ladies weekend last weekend and had that on the Weekend to-do list..."work on trip countodown" I am just as impressed as you all are! :thumbsup2
 
That is really cool. I don't think I even have access to anything that could create something like that.

Feel better soon!
 
Wow, wow, wow!

Julie -- I am in awe of you and Matt and the kids! That calendar is just a treasure to behold.

If you want, can you post a closer photo of the pics? I want to see how you chose pics for the sky, vs the castle. I love it!!

Awesome!!
