No Ma'am, not part of a costume.

Is it inside part of the meet and greet or is it at the entrance area or exit area?

Now for the good...and bad news. I will admit, the wind was a lot more than I thought it would be. Went to bed about 2:30 after numerous texts from Sara; she'd just gotten up and ready for breakfast and was waiting for the rest of the family to "get moving". She said she was going sightseeing today while the others were "off on an adventure"...more on that later! The wind woke me up at 8 AM; rain wasn't heavy at all but oh my goodness the trees were being "whipped around" and there was debris everywhere already. There were even "waves" in the swimming pool! We're guessing we had wind gust between 70 & 80 mph.

Texted David and Sara to let them know everything looked fine at the house and went back to sleep. Another strong gust of wind woke me about 11 and I watched the trees sway while I had brunch. David came home about noon for lunch; the power had gone out at Sara's and he wanted to check on things here. The rain...and wind...had stopped so we walked out in the back yard. Looked like a huge limb in the pool but it was only leaves; most of the broken branches left hanging in the trees from the derecho had blown down and the front & back yard was a mess. We only had about 3 inches of rain, not the 6-8 predicted so that was good. Thought everything was a mess but okay so we went back inside. As I stood by the kitchen window I told David something looked different so I walked back outside on the patio and noticed the "different" was in the far back yard. One of our big, beautiful, healthy trees that we planted 50 years ago was uprooted and laying on it's side. I LOVE my trees and this just breaks my heart!

I don't even know where to begin to clean this up! David says he'll have to get his "big tractor" and pull it off the fence, repair the fence and then just starting with the chain saw! Our bathroom remodel will NEVER get finished! He was planning on sanding the cabinets and painting this week and now we have THIS to deal with! Plus...I LOVE MY TREES! GOOD NEWS is WE never lost power! Sara & Amanda did for about 5 hours but we made it this time without interruption. In the meantime...I get a message from Sara to check Katie's Facebook page for a "report on her adventure! She and Allie had booked a tour of a chocolate factory while Katie and Treavor went PARAGLIDING!!! THEY JUMPED OFF THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN!!!

At least they had a "guide" they had to jump with! One of Sara's friends/fellow dance Mom's posted, "Katie B...GET YOUR FEET BACK ON THE GROUND! You just made my heart skip a beat!" Told her MINE did too!

ya you guys are having some bad weather down here, hope everyone is ok

we are having a heat wave here right now its its killer

we are not use to this type of heat up here

Wow beautiful

its so nice there
thats one place i would like to visit one day

I THINK I WANT TO MOVE THERE! I can't get over the color of that water and I just love the "Swiss chalet's"! Everything is so green...and clean and the Alps...wow! The girls are at the Taylor Swift concert now and tomorrow they catch the train for Paris...and Disneyland Paris. Excited for that; can't wait to see/hear what the opinion on that visit! I think they have a couple of days earmarked for "Disney".

We certainly haven't had a BORING weather year! BFF finally got her power back last night at 8 PM after heat index of right at 110 yesterday! She was MISERABLE! Said their little city looks like a war zone; got hit pretty hard. They're about 100 miles from the coast as opposed to our 200 miles so got even stronger winds. Major hail storm, derecho and now a hurricane and it's only July! I'm SO tired of loosing trees, picking up limbs, raking leaves and pulling my little wagon back to the pile of debris we'll eventually have to burn. We're going to have one hell of a bonfire one of these days!

I saw your photo on Facebook and "feel your pain"! Good idea though...anything to keep the direct sun out. Diane said they were struggling too! I "feel for you"; it's our way of life 9 months out of the year but you "Northerners" AREN'T used to it! We struggle and we ARE used to it! Just be like me...HIBERNATE inside ... oh...just dawned on me...do y'all have air conditioning???? Might be time for you to book another beach vacation!

This is in the queue between the entrance and actually area where you meet and greet.

It's definitely the "trip of a lifetime"! They've been planning it for years; in fact, since 2020 and Covid. Shorter trip was planned for Allie's high school graduation. When that got canceled they just decided they'd wait until Katie graduated since Allie would finish college the same year and make it a "good one". Then the Taylor Swift tour was announced so Switzerland was added to the list (and I think it's been a favorite so far)! They're only half way through; come back on the 17th. I think Sara said they'd be in Paris 3 days; 1 day to tour the city and 2 days for Disneyland Paris. They'll be staying at one of the Disney resorts. Not to crazy about them "visiting the city"...there's been unrest and riots since the election a few days ago AND with the Olympics beginning in a few days but at least I'll feel better while they're on the Disney property. After France they go to Scotland before they return to Manchester and fly out Wednesday, the 17th.
