Thanks. Hope you don't mind if I copy what I wrote on the Freap Chat. You know that this loser can't type all that over again..
Took the boys out of school, AND I wrote them a "sickness" excuse this morning to take in. Do you want to guess how many times I was notified by the school district that my 10 year old was absent from school on Friday? TWICE by phone and once by email. DS8 only got one phone call and an email ..

My God, people, please worry about the middle schoolers/high schoolers I see running around the streets all day during the week...please, they kinda scare me...
Anywho...that is another thead..

We had a good time, but plagued by the whining and fighting that comes with my baggage known as DS10 and DS8. For the most part we were fine, occasional fights over who got to be first in line last time...

etc. We split up towards the end to give them a break from each other. We did both parks pretty much til exhaustion- did almost everything. Skipped Jaws and Terminator, BTDT. We rode the Men In black over and over total about 6 times. Rode the new Simpsons ride about 6 times, too. (Front of the line passes are so nice, the wait for the Simpsons got up to 90 minutes..) At IOA, skipped a few that the boys didn't want to do, and we didn't feel like. Two days and then a couple of hours on Sunday was plenty! We came back to the pool and swam a little then left. (I made DH find the Dooney and Bourke Outlet for me to get a new purse..what a great mall I wish we had more time to see it all.)
We stayed at the Royal Pacific Resort which was nice. Not as cool as the Hard Rock Hotel, but saved us about $200.
It ain't Disney, but it's a fun weekend!
