Saucer Summer Tour Part 8



Sunday, June10th, 2012

Today we slept in today and didn’t make it to Hollywood Studios until 10:00am.  We went to the Star Wars Event Exclusive Darth “Mall” to check out the Star Wars specific events and merchandise.  They had all kinds of cool art and Star Wars stuff.  They also had a station where they took a picture of your face and put it on an 8X10 photo of the different characters.  When we got through the tent we headed to the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster staring Aero Smith.  Alan, Eddie, and Mommy went first while Daddy and Joey waited to use the parent swap.  Mommy found out this roller coaster goes upside down while we were waiting in line!!  Alan was totally freaking out as he claims he almost fell out the last time Daddy took him on it.  Mommy not only survived, but actually enjoyed the ride.  It was in the dark so I didn’t know when I was going upside down J  Daddy and Joey were waiting at the gift shop exit.  Alan and Mommy joined Joey for a snack while Daddy and Eddie took a turn.  Then we headed over to the Hollywood Hotel to ride the Tower of Terror.  Mommy’s tummy was really flipping by the end of the ride!!

It was time to head over to the Star Tours and discovered they already had all the spots for Jedi training filled for the whole day L  Shortly after that we learned ALL the fast passes you need to meet the actors that actually played the characters in the Star Wars movie were gone and very few stand bys actually get to meet the characters L  We got in line for Star Tours then headed to Pizza Planet for lunch.  The boys got cool kid meals in R2D2 buckets!!

After lunch we got to meet Phineas and Ferb!!  Then we hit Star Tours again.  Each time  you go through a different adventure so it’s like a whole new ride!!  We decided to get the Star Wars specific event 2012 T-Shirts for the whole family.  We hit the Toy Story Midway Mania.  Then we hooked up with Missy and her crew to ride the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.  Our crew was pretty cranky and their crew still needed lunch so we went our separate ways. 

When we got back to the hotel Daddy took the boys to the pool and  Mommy took a desperately needed nap.  When the boys got back Mommy headed over to Epcot to explore all ALONE!! Daddy took the boys downstairs for pizza and an early bedtime. 
I walked all the way around the lake through all the countries.  It was nice to not keep track of anyone and just stroll through shops without having kids asking me to buy stuff J  I got a HUGE hand twisted pretzel in Germany.  Missy got to the park just as I finished the loop so I met up with them in time for the laser light show, but after a seeing lighting a couple times I decided to head back to the hotel and try to go to bed early.  The Captain EO ride with Michael Jackson that I loved when I was 12 is back!!  It closes at 7pm so I missed it tonight and I don’t want to miss it tomorrow J

Pictures are HERE and HERE.

Not The Best Time To Start Blogging

I Got Type 1 Diabetes         Monday, January 1, 2018   I went camping at Pupukea for Boy Scout winter camp. I was an SPL (the senior scout boy leader). My chest started to hurt with each move. I went to the nurse and she said it was only heartburn; she advised me to treat a heartburn you want to stay a from meats, eggs, cheese; any free carb foods; and eat foods like a bread, juices, milk; heavy carb foods; [all bad for a diabetic but we didn't know yet.] I went home a day earlier after the final fire bowl. The nurse and other medical professionals, at camp, told me all I needed was a hot shower and good night sleep because I was camping in the rain. When I came home and took a shower I couldn't even stand up. So my mom checked my blood sugar just to rule out that I wouldn't have diabetes. I was around 500. You should be 80-150. So, my mom rushed to Tripler (the big pink hospital) at 1:00 am because the hospital on Hickam is only a clinic for app...

First Day of School Panic Attack

Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride.  He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway! A picture of the school close up Our...

Saturday, June 30 th , 2012 Today was the Looney Hooley at Teresa Berg’s.  We didn’t get there at the beginning so we didn’t play in the horse shoe tournament this year.  The boys sent straight to the kiddie pool to play.  It was great seeing all the Looney side of the family.  A group of us played Mexican Dominoes.  It was quite the game as no one seemed to be sure of the rules and we seemed to change them frequently throughout the game J   When the sun started going down someone got the fire going in the fire pit.  The smores supplies appeared and we had a yummy, sticky mess!!  It was a full moon so we decided it was finally dark enough for the fireworks at 10pm.  They were AMAZING and we taught the kids to scream, “Honk Honk” when they really liked them!! I didn't have my camera out, but Alan took some pictures on a hand me down camera he got from Aunt Kathy.
