Just vegetating some more on the couch while James is out with Xander, taking over my usual job of getting Xander to his music therapy group and piano lesson. This doing nothing would be pretty great if being sick wasn't a factor:cool:. Picking up where I left off yesterday... We made it to...

OK, I am now convinced that all four of our kids should meet someday. Maddie is crazy about Pokemon and collects the plush characters. Her Eevee went with her to sleep away camp this summer along with Litten:). The only reason she didn't bring one with her to Florida was that she decided she...

Xander hates it when our dog Hattie goes out to the backyard and wants her back inside as soon as possible. His go to phrase is "Do you want some Hattie?!" meaning "I want Hattie to come in now!"

Last weekend while we were at the beach I had what I thought was a little annoying cold. Maddie had one too but was feeling better by Monday morning while I continued to feel worse and started coughing out my lungs all day and night and generally grossing everyone out. I've pretty much been...

That's a very intriguing title, I was already planning to follow but now I have to know what the "crocs" happened!

I forgot to trade phones with James darn it! His takes way better dark indoor photos. We checked in and got our yellow rose which I think looks more like a biscuit. We had done a pre order for our meals so we were let in to find a table really quickly. We ate breakfast here in 2015 and sat...

Friday August 25 We woke up on this morning fully expecting our good weather luck to have run out. We'd been monitoring the weather reports all week and every single one pinpointed Friday as an almost nonstop rain day. The hour by hour on our weather app had stormy rain clouds with lightning...

This is what I'm most upset about. The ride itself sounds really cool and I'm more interested to go on it after reading your reviews but it's hard to take the messed up theming on the outside! Our last trip to Disneyland was before they shut down ToT for the change over so I'm cringing over...

One last post to finish up Thursday August 24! Grand finale of HEA. I still cannot believe how lucky we were on this night. It was our only chance to see the show on our vacation and I couldn't have asked for a better view, weather, or general experience. James was very impressed too, and...

Even more fireworks photos. I have to say, I absolutely loved Happily Ever After. Wishes was great but I don't have any specific special memories of it. This show (the amazing view helped) had me hooked. I was feeling all the emotions you can feel and though I tried not to melt into a...

When we got to the hub it had gotten pretty filled in already but considering how late we'd pushed it to find a good spot, I was feeling lucky to snag an area for us to stand with this view. Sure there was a lamp post partially obscuring the castle but we could see most of it and were close...

That squirrel photo is now the background on James' phone, he was that fascinated with it:p. He is always very quick to point out redheads, clearly his favorite thing about me! Maddie has always been so painfully honest that I could trust everything she said. I have to be more careful now...

This is how I feel too! I find myself wanting to go on more Disney trips rather than less, even trying to justify more than one a year for the next few years. My daughter is already 13, if we don't go for another two years or so she'll be 15 then...:cry:. How did time go by so fast?

It must have been peak dinner time for a lot of other families because when we got to Casey's it didn't look like we'd be getting a table. Just when we were about to admit defeat and come up with another plan a couple gathered their things and left a table open! We started toward it when...

We finally made it to Small World and were happy to find that it was just a 10 minute wait. Here is one happy boy waiting for his favorite ride:inlove:. The thing is, this version of Small World is completely inferior to the one at Disneyland. It has a sad, dark, indoor queue compared to...

I think it was a little after 5pm when we were finally ready to walk over to the Magic Kingdom. How amazing to just be able to walk there! Security was no problem, short line to scan the magic bands, and suddenly we were there in front of the train station!!! James agreed to stop for family...

Figment is my favorite Disney character. I was fascinated by him before my family went to Disney World for the first time in 1989. There was an article in a kids magazine about Figment and his ride that I read over and over again and I remember studying the pictures of the cute purple dragon...

Back to the trip report. Picking up the afternoon of Thursday August 24. We finally paid the bill for lunch and I got a picture of the stained glass rose.It was still really hot and muggy when we left the air conditioned haven and Maddie reminded me that I'd promised her a spray fan. We found...

I'm going to go on a short detour from the regularly scheduled trip report because I'm so happy that we are currently at the beach! Rockaway Beach at the Oregon coast to be specific. My parents bought two timeshare weeks at a little old place directly on the beach about 35 years ago so this is...

I "liked" the story about the pirates stealing your camera lense but only because there is no "OH NO!!!!!" Option :(
