Wow! What an awesome award for your daughter to recieve. You should be very proud and want to tell the how world...that's not bragging at all.
Just wondering what you are going to do after the flashbacks are over. I will miss the TR too much!
Thank you!
I have no idea what to do next. Maybe I'll find pictures on the internet and just make something up!
Just kidding! I hate for it to end too, but I think I've just about strectched it out as long as possible. Another good reason that I need another trip!
Oh congratulations to your DD, what a fantastic award to win and what an awesome trophy
OMGoodness I can't get over how empty MK was
How wonderful to get so much done after you've had a relaxing swimming day
Oh BTW I have a castle just down the road from me, just saying..........
Oh that was just DIRTY!!
How many people can say they have a castle down the road!?
You're killin' me!!!!! But that's ok. One day I'll get over there and maybe I'll visit YOUR castle!
It was a wonderful day at MK. I was in shock at how empty it was. It was almost creepy.
That is wonderful news about your DD. It is not bragging at all. I would want to share that news, too. You must be so proud
Thank you! I am very proud and still sort of in shock!
I think you just said it all. Proving that you are a good mom for teaching her the right values. Congrats to your family!!!
Thank you. Sometimes I feel like I am just muddling through this whole parenting thing. It's hard sometimes, ya know? I need times like this though to balance out all the times that I feel like the worst mother in the world (like when I forgot to pack her lunch last week for school
)!
Aww, that's so sweet that your DD got that award. It must have made your heart melt to know that other people recognize what a sweet little girl she is!
I was very proud for sure!
I can't believe MK was that empty. That is compltely amazing!
Yes it was awesome, but a little creepy really. I felt like I was in one of the Left Behind movies! 
Gotta love the pooh characters. Don't tell Mickey, but they're my favorite!
I really like them too. They are all so cuddly and sweet!
I had no idea it got dark so early in November in Flordia. That's great! I love the parks at night so much. Do the parks close really early then, or do you just get to enjoy that extended nighttime?
The parks closed at either 8 or 9 every night, except for EMHs nights when they stayed open later. It is great b/c it isn't hot at all. That Florida sun can really drain you. And it is great b/c if you have a hot day, you can go back to the hotel and swim and know that it will be dark by five so you can come back later when it has cooled off.
Great pictures, I'm glad you took advantage of an empty Magic Kingdom!

Wonderful pictures at the MK, the park was so empty. I love Disney landscaping. Why can't my flowers look that?
I can't believe all you were able to do at night. I need to try the Jungle Cruise at night sometime, it did look a little more magical.
You know a CM at the Grand Floridian told me that they change all the flowers out every few weeks so that they always look perfect. That's probably why your yard and mine looks nothing like theirs!
Jungle Cruise is a great night ride. It seems spooky riding through there when it's dark, especially the tunnel part.
Congrats to your DD! That is truly wonderful
The crowd levels during your trips seem even smaller than our two January trips. Someday when I "retire" again or manage to find a job out of the classroom anyways, we'll have to try to visit at that time of year!
Thank you!
Yes, try early November out and see what you think. I've never been in Jan. so I can't compare the two. I'd like to know which one is better though.
Just stumbled on this thread. GREAT PICS! I love it. Will be back to keep up the readng. I did beginning and end so now will have to find time to go back and read the middle. Your daughter is adorable!
WELCOME!!!! So glad to have new readers joining in. I hope you can go back and catch up on everything. Feel free to chime in any time even if you aren't caught up.
Congratulations to your dd, I can tell you were over the moon proud and then some..as you should be!!!!
Again your newly posted update and pics are awesome! I just spoke
to a friend who is going to the happy place over easter and her kids don't know!!! What an awesome surprise the easter bunny is bringing them!!!
Thank you! I was over the moon!
Oh what a great Easter surprise!!! I would love to go for Easter. I think the weather would be nice. I'd love to see the looks on their faces when they find out! So exciting!
A big congrats to DD on the
award. What a greaat idea for an award. Beautiful pics as always.
Thank you! I agree. That's the only award they give out. The league is only for young children (elementary school aged) so they don't focus much on athletic ability. Their primary goal is teaching the basics of the game and sportsmanship. It's a great program.
I'm hoping we can do a Disney cruise next year. It all depends on whether I go back to work in the fall and if I get a part time or full time job.
Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it all!
