What's Happening

Trying to "catch" up on my blog.  Want to finish blogging our WDW trip too.  So I will be posting lots soon.
Moms hip relacement went well she spent about 2 weeks in the hospital and rehab so she missed having Christmas at home.  We took Christmas to her at the rehab facility.  She is now home and back to work!  My EGD was clear and everything looked good!  Although Breanne moved her stuff back home we never see her!  LOL!  She will be starting school in the fall and assures me that she IS looking for a job...I however am not convinced!

WDW day 6 9/18 More of the Studios

1st up Toy Story Mania!  This ride was fun. 

Then on to Light, Motors, Action.  This was an awesome stunt car show.  They kinda give you the behind the scenes secrets and it was really cool to watch. 

After the stunt show Ron was not feeling good so he headed back to the resort for a nap.  We were crazy hot so we stopped for Ice cream.  Here the kids are enjoying there tasty treats.

Next up Rock-N-Rollercoster.  This ride is really fun.  I think the kids went a few times while g-ma and i rested in the shade.

We then watched the Indian Jones Stunt show.  This was funny.  Here is one of the fight scenes. 

 For dinner we had reservations at the 50's Prime Time Cafe.  We love this place.  We ate here when Breanne was 4 and she remembers the smores desert.  This resturaunt is 50's themed and it is like the homes and kitchens of the day.   Here are Breanne and Mike waiting in the "living room" for our reservation to be called.

Resting on one of the sofas.

Here we are at our table.  Mickey Mouse club was on the TV. YAY! 

Mom and I had the Meatloaf, Mike got Fried chicken and I don't remember wht Bre got.  I think the chicken too. Then Dessert!  Here is Mike looking at the dessert menu...yup! it is on a view finder.  How sweet is that! 

Here are the AMAZING smores!  Breanne and I both got this!  Mom got a Angel food cake with berries that was yummy and Mike got the build your own Sundae. 

Breanne digging into the smores!

Mike creating his Sundae masterpiece!  Dinner was great!  After dinner we are off to explore more of the park and see Fantasmic!

On the way to Fantasmic we stopped to watch these performers.  They were very funny.  Then outta now where this squirrell ran into the street and realized he had no where to go.  People were everywhere.

He darted back and forth quite unsure of what to do.  Finally he just ran for it and straight up a tree right next to me.  He stole the show for tha moment. 

As we waited in line for fanstamic we all put on our glow in the dark braclets. 

The show was awsome!  My pictures don't really do it justice.  The stadium was packed too!

The end...of Fanstasmic that is.  After the show we s..l..o..w..l..y made our way out of the park and caught the bus back to POP!  It was a good day!

Camano Island Treasure Hunt

Feb 20th we headed to Camano Island for their 1st annual Treasure hunt.  You are suposed to look for clues that will lead you to a treasure.  The treasure is a hand blown glass ball.  We were very lucky to have choosen such a fabulous day to go exploring.  We started at Freedom park where we picked up our treasure maps and guide books and then set out to explore the Island.  Our Merry band of travelers included, Ron, Liz, Carri and Myself.  We walked around Freedom park then headed to score some lunch.  After lunch we visited an Alpaca farm.  So cute they are.  Alpaca fix fulfilled we headed to the beach to explore. 

We found TONS of creatures under the rocks.  Here is one of the critters!  We must have walked for miles but neved did spot any clue balls.  Darn it! After a day of seeing the beautiful Island we stopped at the Tulalip casino onthe drive home.  Ron and Ileft our money behind...but Carri and Liz both did very well. It was a super nice day and we all had a blast!

Happy Birthday Marsha

Things were so busy this year that we waitied until after all of the holidays and New Years were done and then had a nice party at our house for my Birthday.  It was such a blast!  We had great food from Longhorn BBQ and we grilled some smoked sausage.  After much drinking and eating we played a very hilarious game of Pervartistry.  Learned that most of are already perverts...LOL.  Learned alot of "new" words too.  A good time was had by all.

Christmas

We had a very nice Christmas this year.  Carol, Arianna, Janie, Breanne, Mike, Ron and me.  Ron worked the night before so he only got about 4 hours of sleep.  The plan was for eveyone to arrive about 3 to open gifts then have a nice dinner.  I was making Prime Rib and Ham.  Well 3 came and went and no sign of Carol , not suprised!  So I wrapped up dinner so we could eat and just as I was finishing Her and Anna arrived.  We had a delish dinner and then got to the gifts.
