Oh my gosh, those pictures are priceless! I would pay a million dollars to see your DS recreate the "daughter" picture, that had me rolling! That was great, thanks for posting them. God bless your Mom in heaven.

A million dollars???? Woohoo, for that I will personally take you with us when he does it!!!
I thought I had one with both boys and they had their heads put together. Can't seem to find it. Huh??? Suppose that's coincidence???

I have bathtub pictures.

You know the ones!

They always try to take them from me. They are locked up! No dice boys! I so can't wait to use them for something. I LOVE blackmail!!!!

Thank you for blessing my mom!

Ok you guys peaked my curiosity. This is what I found on the web.

Several possible reasons for the park's closing have been suggested by fans. One is that there wasn't a need for this park due to the other two larger water parks on Disney property (which had more slides) and increased competition from other water parks in the area. Another is that bacteria from Bay Lake was reportedly contaminating River Country's water. Yet another is that this water park's lake was unheated, and was very cold outside the summer months. Though river Country had always drawn large crowds, it's location (in the interior of Fort Wilderness) made it very difficult for both motorists and Disney Transport to reach the site.

Thanks for checkin that out. You know, I will bet it's the last one. I remember a VERY long ride to the middle of nowhere on a bus. Of all the trips I have taken there, that is the only water park we have ever been to. I don't really remember why that was.

Could you really imagine laughing, playing, splashing and a big ole gator swims up to you!!!! I have always wondered how they keep them from going places on property. Have you ever heard of anyone seeing one at Disney???

Did I peak your curiousity again???

Bath tub pictures, you go girl! My boy Jimmy is so good to me when his girlfriend is over because he knows I will not hesitate to bust out the bath tub video or my favorite... throwing the biggest tantrum infront of the washer because his blanky is being washed.

That's too funny. I love it when we can hold these things on them!! I also have pictures of him and one of his friends dressed up like girls (hookers). I believe that will go in his senior yearbook! He'll be old enough to run away from home then .

I loved your trip down Memory Lane....I am a frequent visitor myself! I am always looking through old photo albums and thinking "where has the time gone?"

BTW - I have already started writing my pre-trip report for October...I'll probably wait to post though so it's not MONTHS until I actually go on the trip Maybe I'll post early though.....

You have got this parenting thing down solid!!! Where do I sign up for lessons?

 

[ILMICKEY]

Oh, you're baaaaaaaaaaaad

That's exactly what they tell me!!!

I so owe this kid!! I remember when he was little we were sitting together on the couch watching cartoons. He kept tapping my leg. Over and over! I said WHAT are you doing?

He says "making waves"!!!!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed them.

I say, just go for it! It's not that far away. Closer than mine!

Oh, I'm just learning as I go. Or maybe it was all the crap I pulled on my poor mother. I know the things she should have done to me.

Mozart got his license last week. I cried on the way home, I just hate not having this control anymore. How will I know he is safe? The first night he got his plates, he wanted to go by himself to town. Then things got a little clearer for me.

Is your room clean? Dog fed? Dog watered? My feet rubbed? My bath drawn?

See where this is going??

I am the almighty MOM! I have the POWER!!

I might get away with it for a few more days, but then I think the gigs up!

He has been driving back and forth to work, and has went to some of his friends house. Last night, I was making dinner when Sport reminded me he had weightlifting for Football.

Oh, baseballs done-new season!!!

Normally I would shut everything off or have Mozart watch it. This time was different. Mozart says "mom, do you want me to take him?"

Hmmmmmmm! Heck YEAH!! (heck is a bit milder)

I am likin this!!

He can only go 20 mph in a 55 when they are together in the car. If he is alone, he may go 40.

I totally freak out when they leave together. One time, it only takes one time.

It will get better right???????????

Has she talked you into driving some of the way to Florida???

For now

I am holding on to it til I can't hold on to it no more!! (shhhh, don't tell them, but it gets harder every day!)

Oh, and he finally figured it out that when he takes his brother somewhere for me, it takes gas!!! That didn't last long!!

 

[blue_river]

Not yet

I doubt we would let her. She hasn't been driving long enough yet.

Have you purchased anything for your trip lately?

 

[ILMICKEY]

I am on the verge of buying our tickets. It's just so hard to part with that much money ! I had a friend that went for a weekend and bought a 1 day park hopper. Said he paid 119$!!!!! That's almost criminal.

We are getting a 7 day park hopper. That equals to about $36 per day. I like that a whole lot better.

I really have everything I need. Camera, camcorder, batteries and my pink bagallini. I paid over $30 for the bag then found almost the exact thing in a magazine for $10. That hurt.

Right now I am in the money making stage of the preplanning. I've sold a couple things on Ebay.

I had some park maps and a couple disney dollars from 1996, made a nice little profit on those.

We also make and sell crafts. Fred cuts the wood and I paint it. So, between work and that, I'm pretty busy.

I'm getting really excited for you! I can't wait to hear about your road trip.

OH NO

You still have plenty of time!!

I have about a year to go before I need to start worrying about Jimmy driving, I have to say, he is a good driver on these back country roads, it's the going into town part he has to learn and that's going to have me worried, but then again, like with you, my Taxi days will become a little lighter, so far that is the only upside!!!

Yay! you got your tickets. It's more real now huh? I have everything purchased except for my airfare and MVMCP, we keep putting it off, shop needs new screens, we're out of emulsion, light table bit the dust...it all adds up and takes away my Disney Dollars, but we are going next week to get those, no more putting it off!!!!

I like your idea of selling things on e-bay, too cool!

 

[princess-rn]

Hi ILMICKEY! You posted on my pretrip..so I thought I'd come check yours out. THis is a lively bunch in here! LOL. I'm LOVING reading this!

I took your advice about Ohana's. I changed some ADRs today and added that one! YIPPEE!

 

[ILMICKEY]

What kind of crafts? Do you have any pictures?

I do have pictures. I will get them scanned and posted. We usually start them around October and make enough to pay for Christmas. I decided if we started a bit earlier, we'd have fatter wallets for disney!!! Momma likes her money!

You still have plenty of time!!

I know, I know. The money part of it is very happy about that. The "I really need a vacation" isn't.

I wanna go NOW!!! Yesterday they had Disney on the Travel Channel for about 4 hours! Woohoo! I was lovin life. They had one program-Undiscovered Disney. It talked about all the extras you can do. Did you know you can take surfin lessons at Typhoon Lagoon. I thought this would be awesome for the boys to do. I'm checkin into it today. What a nice surprise that would be for them.

It is really nice. Sport started football, I don't have to constantly run. I just have to give gas money! That'll work!

Yay! you got your tickets. It's more real now huh?

It does seem real. I love checking my ticker every day! We're getting there!! Thank god I have you guys to talk to about it. The eye rolling is getting out of hand!!! I really think people are getting sick of me talking about it!

You all understand!

It always seems like there is something. Thats why I didn't wait to buy the tickets any longer. I knew something would happen and I wouldn't be able to.

You could probably make a fortune on Ebay from Reeses old clothes. You wouldn't believe what stuff goes for. I figure I'm going to sell until my family comes home and everthing is gone.
We were robbed?????

Honest, it will be going for a good cause!

Hey! I'm glad you are having fun! Lively?? Us???

I took your advice about Ohana's. I changed some ADRs today and added that one! YIPPEE!

Of all the restaurants we picked, that is the one I am most excited about. We are TOTAL meat eaters. Especially if it's grilled. I also can't wait to see the water pageant. That's another thing on my list of things I haven't ever did.
I am hoping my 5:50 ressie will be about right to see the pageant and the fireworks. It will get darker earlier then, so I don't know.

Now I've never been to Ohanas, so I'm sorry if you don't like it!
