Those are all such great photos. I love the family photo at the end.

I love the last photo too -- the "Golden Hour" -- every photographer's dream time to photograph.

This came up in my FB ‘memories’ today. 324 feet up, 100 miles per hour.

T was 5 years old... I was hyperventilating, and literally praying.. I was afraid that he was going to get whiplash.. and I HATED that I couldn’t see him.

@ajrwdwgirl , are you enjoying your new class of students so far? I wanted to wait a bit before I asked you, as I assumed it probably took some time before you could form an opinion of the new class. I'm sure they like you for a teacher!

You have one brave little kid. His head did look like it got it whipped forward twice. How was the view?

We could see the slingshot ride from our hotel room in Cabana Bay.

There's a preview of the new Epcot fireworks show on youtube. Well, in testing mode. I don't really like the kite thing. But everything else looked good. For the life of me, I really don't understand why Disney is having a temp firework show before the new show. The new show.....I don't think it will be that great, the interim willbe better.

I'm glad you liked it. Seeing it made me want to watch the whole series again. Maybe I'll have time over Thanksgiving.

I know! I miss watching it every Sunday!

Thanks for asking. Overall I do like my new 7th graders, the class I have twice a day are nice and seem to work hard. I have my two 8th grade sections and I still like them. I also have 9th graders, just one section of them this year and I still like them although one of them drives me a little nuts. I think the year will be okay, but busy as I have a new curriculum for the 7th and 8th graders so that means a lot of work for me.

New curriculum is not fun I'm sure. Much more preparation than the year before.

Yep, more prep for sure. Especially since it is for both grades, but I've been asking for new textbooks for years and I finally got them. So I'm not going to complain, at least not to anyone at school!

I'm trying to recall...you teach history, correct?

Science mostly, I have one section of social studies for 7th grade.

Hey Basin fans, I was looking at the Basin website tonight just to see if they had added any Disney stuff and they haven't but I found out that Basin sells some of their stuff in a grocery store called Hy-vee. There are a few Hy-vee's near where I go shopping in Minnesota! I never have been in a Hy-vee before but next time I go to Minnesota I think I'll stop in. They also have some locations in Illinois that sell Basin. Here's a link if you want to check it out @Gabe1 and @MouseDreaming .

Not sure, but, I think we may actually be cooling off a bit...?!


Although, this screenshot was taken at 8:36p tonight...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Same temps now...OK, I’m done with that...!!!!!

The view was a blur.lol. I didn’t even want to scream, I just wanted to listen to his reaction and make sure he wasn’t upset..not that I could have done much once it started.
We’ve been on the one at Kings Island twice since then... now we both scream.

The one at KI requires a 48” height minimum.. the one in Orlando was 46” I think, that’s why he was able to ride that one first. Which is a bit odd, the one in Orlando is higher than the one here.

We could see the slingshot ride from our hotel room in Cabana Bay.

Have you been to Fun Spot? They have a lot of rides that remind me of the Boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ. It’s a cool stop when in Orlando. The Slingshot and Volmatron are both great (we did that too, that same day)..but they also have a great racing ride.
I’ll find a pic.. it reminded me of a hot wheels set, but life size.

For some reason I thought you taught all history. Oh well, I'm blaming my foggy brain.
