What's the Big Deal With Staying On Property Anyway? *Goodbyes* 12/17 p.114

[DisMomAmy]

Hi Carissa - I'm finally all caught up over here!! I've been having trouble staying caught up this summer too...

Sea World looks just like it did when I was there in 2002.

I love the hunchback picture of Chuck in his poncho. I have some pictures of myself from my rainy trip with my mom in 2008 that look just like that.

Have a great weekend with Chuck!

We loved Sea World - sorry they gate person was such a jerk about the ID card . . .

We also loved Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island. Of course, sometimes the animals wouldn't cooperate and they "actors" had to ad lib - it was great! My favorite thing about Sea World is being able to talk to the trainers. They are so knowledgeable and willing to talk to you.

Glad to hear things are going well with the home schooling and that Chuck is getting to visit this weekend. Have fun and be safe!

Hey Carissa! Sorry I've been MIA for so long, but life has been just CRAZY here for the past few weeks! Sounds like homeschooling is going well for you, though. We started our homeschooling here about 1 1/2 weeks ago. It's going pretty well, but we'll be taking a break here next week, since we leave for WDW next Tuesday! I've posted a link to my PTR in my siggie! Hopefully, I can come back later and finish reading your TR! Hope all is well with you, Chuck, and the boys!

Oops - haven't had a chance to check in for a while. Sorry to hear about photobucket - I ended up switching to Flickr very recently because I've never been able to get their new uploader to work, and they finally got rid of the option to use the old one. But, I'm sure I don't have anywhere near as many photos in my account as you do! (Plus, they all are still on a computer besides in my photobucket account.) I hope you hear back from them - that is so annoying that they just locked you out! I hate the idea that you would have to pay just to access it to delete stuff!

I hope you had a great weekend with Chuck at home!

Btw, did I mention that ds started Taekwondo a few weeks ago? He is really loving it, and the instructor is great. Also, I signed up to be a Daisy co-leader for dd - along with 4 other moms! We have our parent orientation meeting next week...

Hey, I thought I had gone back to read the Sea World post, but I guess I didn't! Anyway, I'm all caught up now and hoping you won't slip back to page three before the next post!!


Have a great weekend...

Have a great weekend -

and we LOVE Macinac Island - they have an area tucked back away from the main drag that reminds me of the DVC resorts - Stonecliff Resorts I think... but for a family - love Mission Point Resort (it used to be a college!!) Lots of fun things to do with that resort!!

Stitch!!

Have an awesome weekend!

Thanks! We did have a wonderful time. The visit was all too short though. Only another 6 weeks or so and his class will be done.

Have a great time!

Thanks J!

I hope you had a great weekend.

I also hope you got the issue resolved with photobucket!

I'll talk about photobucket in a minute.

Hey Amy! Summer over isn't helping me any with staying caught up since we homeschool. Things just seem to be even busier now.

I loved the ad libbing in the show - definitely made it even better.

You may be back by now! Hope you had (or are having) a fabulous time!

At least there's a bunch of you doing it together. Makes it bit easier. Good luck with all of the activities.

Hey Kathy Sorry for the delay.

Have a great weekend -

Stitch!!

That's cool! I'll have to keep that in mind when we finally get around to taking a trip there.

I apologize for not responding to the replies. I kept checking, but it wasn't showing anything new on my subscription page.

Things here are just as busy as before. And the whole photobucket thing just has me annoyed. I've emailed back and forth but I don't think they have a clue about anything. They tell me I should be able to edit my photos still, but my pictures don't even show up. I need to take a screen shot and email it to them (for all the good it'll do), but I keep forgetting. I really want to finish this TR and get my pictures! I'll try to work on that this week.

 

[Native NYer]

I hope the Photobucket thing gets resolved soon

Car - If you have a second e-mail address you could just open a second photobucket account.

 

[carissanboys]

I hope the Photobucket thing gets resolved soon

Thanks Jennifer - me too!

I already have a second account. The problem is my trip pictures are only saved in the old account - nowhere else. I planned to get prints made from there.

Ugh, I have that problem often with my subscriptions and I get SO behind!

What a nightmare on photobucket, you aren't the only one on the board having problems. YUCK! I hope you get it resolved.

Thanks - update now.

Good news! I figured out it wasn't photobucket's fault afterall. Just issues with my firewall. So, things are all good here now.

I will try and get an update posted tomorrow and then try and get caught up on everyone's TRs and PTRs by this weekend. Please forgive me!

Glad to hear your time with the whole family was great!

Also glad you got the picture issues straightened out. You may never catch up with other reports, but we look forward to hearing from you and seeing what all the latest news is for you and the guys. Hope the homeschooling is going well. I know you guys are having fun with it!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Good morning Carissa! I'm glad your photobucket/computer issues have been resolved. How frustrating!

So good to hear you had a good weekend with Chuck and the boys. I miss seeing you around and hope things are going well for you! Check in when you can!

Carissa, so glad you figured out the Photobucket issue. Look forward to your next update.

Let’s get this show on the road, shall we??

After the Clyde and Seamore show, the rain stopped and we could put away our rain ponchos for good.

We headed over to visit our friends the penguins. They’re so darn cute.

And then I asked my crazy crew to walk like penguins for me. Did they do it??

We thought these sea dragons were the coolest thing!

Skeery sharks

And then what did we do? Why we decided to risk our limbs by feeding the skeery sharks!

Stinky shark food:

my brave husband:

Love the look on Owen’s face:

After surviving the sharks, we came upon an old friend from Australia – the kookaburra! I’m always amazed by how big they are in person.

One of the exhibits on the top of my list was Wild Arctic. You can take a simulation ride to the exhibit, but the line is long. We decided to just walk in. We really didn’t enjoy it much because there were just too many people around. It was hard to see anything.

The only interesting shot I got was this one:

Up Next – Love for Shamu

 

[jordanyosh]

An update!!!!! I should talk. I've been neglecting my PTR....

The pix with the penguins

Sharks and handling small fish bait..NO Thank you...nasty.

Avoid crowds....good going.

SHAMU!!!! can't wait.

Remember my TR lasted 15 months so don't worry about taking your time..

Thanks MeMom. Yes, school is going well and we've been having lots of fun with different activities. Getting ready to take a fieldtrip to the Air and Space Museum once we finish our unit on the solar system.

Good morning Carissa! I'm glad your photobucket/computer issues have been resolved. How frustrating!

So good to hear you had a good weekend with Chuck and the boys. I miss seeing you around and hope things are going well for you! Check in when you can!

Hey Missy! I've missed being around this board too. I'll be over to get caught up very soon.

Carissa, so glad you figured out the Photobucket issue. Look forward to your next update.

I feel like a dummy!

Just posted an update.

I have to head over and see what your post about almost walking out was about! And I can't believe my TR has been going for 6 months!!! Big difference from my last one.
