Sweet Sixteen

Well, I just finished NYB #16! This calls for a dance! A party. A true celebration. Although the blocks are not squared up yet, I couldn't resist laying it out as if I were ready to sew the blocks into the finished piece. It is just 9:00 here, not the best time to take a picture...but it will have to do for now!

Check it out, ladies....

Vacation - Day 6, we leave for home

I was hoping we'd make it back to Animal Kingdom, but when given the choice my #1 pirate said he wanted to go back to the pirate ride. That was fine and we had a great day of it. We were able to see the afternoon parade for the first time, and he was so precious. Clapping his hands, waving, calling to his favorite characters....how special. We also went to the Dream show at the castle. Lots of neat characters there including MM, Minnie, DD, Goofy, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Capt. Hook, Peter Pan, Wendy, and the evil witch. Then we were off for home.

Sorry to tell you ladies, it seems we came back to the return of winter. My hopes of spotting a dandelion in the near future have nearly been dashed. You will have to hold on for a while for the giveaway.

Vacation- Day 5

What a great day. Bud was feeling better. He and I went back to Hollywood Studios and got all the characters we missed the day before and then some:

• yellow, blue, and red Power Rangers



• Buzz and Woody



• Sorcerer Mickey



• Tow Mater and Lightning McQueen



• The Incredibles



• June and Quincy from Little Einsteins



• Handy Manny

He was very photogenic and just wanted to know where we could go next. What a fun outting! Later, we met up with husband at Epcot and had a nice afternoon. Dinner was at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort. That was loads of fun with all the characters, not to mention good food. We went back early to pack up.

Vacation- Day 4

We were off and running to Hollywood Studios. It seemed all day that we were a bit off. A bit late for this character, a bit grumpy, etc. Later, we discover little man had a very low fever. It never did turn into much, luckily, but what a bummer when you are on vacation. In true mama fashion, I had packed the thermometer and all medicine cabinet drugs. My husband had thought I was a bit excessive, until this happened!

Vacation- Day 3

On Day 3 we ventured to The Animal Kingdom. This is my one 'wish we had more time or another day'. It was quite neat. We took a safari into the wild and did get some good sights of lions, giraffes, and other friends. The Lion King Show was fabulous. Also, the lines for meeting Donald Duck, Goofy, and Brother Bear were short. We called it an early day and went back for some swimming.

Vacation- Day 2

Did I mention we were on VACATION??? Just teasing, girls. You're right we did have fun. Day 2 was great, it was the only really cloudy, could rain day. We lucked out with one ten minute light shower, which we ducked into a 3-D movie for. We had lots of fun at the Magic Kingdom again:

• Two thumbs up for the Buzz Lightyear ride....shooting bad alien guys, who could ask for anything more? Oh, I know! Did I mention we had only a 5 wait for this?


• The tea cups and Dumbo are classic rides you simply cannot miss.


• Mickey's 3-D Philaharmony Movie- was awesome. Little mister kept reaching out his hands to help Donald Duck. Too cute.


• The new Peter Pan ride was so neat. We were flying above London!


• It's a small, small world.


• Pooh had a fun ride or tumble, too.

Then we went to Epcot. There we went into the cool new NEMO and friends exhibit. It starts off as animation and then you are viewing real aquariums and fish....with Nemo still in them. Very fun. Afterwards you can tour several very room sized aquariums with fish, dolphins, shark, and other creatures. We finished the night by eating at The Coral Reef.

Vacation- Day 1

Well, you may have wondered where I have been. VACATION! We had a lot of family fun time. I thought I would break it down by day for you. We flew into Orlando and headed for Disney World. Little buddy was just thrilled about the plane and seeing Mickey Mouse.

It hit us about the time we landed that we should have a reality check and be ready to stand in some lines. Having this moment of clarity, helped us lower our expectations some and just have fun.

When we got to the Magic Kingdom, we started by taking a train ride. Then we went to the head cheese's house. That was cute. Then we stood in line for 45 minutes to wait for said mouse. Not so fun....but, it all seemed good in the end. Little man was brave and gave MM a hug, posed for a picture, and wasn't the least bit shy.

I will hit the FF button through the rest of the day, but among our favorites were:

• dinner with Winnie the Pooh and Friends
  


• Pirates of the Carribean ride, that's right, mate we are big pirate fans here
  


• the night time parade, a light spectacular event in my opinion
  


• the best fireworks show I have ever scene, including Tinker Belle flying from the top of the castle down into the park.....dinner with Winnie the Pooh and Friends
