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.

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

Well, I'm not sure what made me think I could sew. . . I thought sewing a santa suit wouldn't be too difficult if it was part of a "kit". The base playgroup was doing some Christmas pictures of the kids and I thought I could get the suit done in time to have Daniel take an early lunch and show up as Santa. Well this "kit" had very confusing directions. They may as well have been written in Japanese!!! After spending an entire 3hr naptime studying and attempting to cut out the pieces I was beyond frustrated and ready to cry. I ended up using my resources and sending out a very desperate email to EVERY email address I had for people that lived near me (there are some playgroup lists with emails of people I don't even know). Within 30 minutes a friend, Erin, from my MOPS group responded so I called her and she was able to help me figure out how to cut the pieces out correctly!!! Ok so the pieces are cut out, know what do I do!?! Well. yesterday I r...

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein...

Plumbing Plunders

Well this may get a little long winded as our plumbing problems have been on going for a long time. For those of you who don't know we built a brand new house and moved in April 14th, 2006 so it's less than a year old. This past summer I noticed that our toilets and sinks gurgled often and in August I called the builder to send the plumbers out under our 1yr warranty to check it out. They came and basically made me feel like I was hallucinating. They said they cleaned the lines and there wasn't anything suspicious so if they gurgled again to give them a call and they would come back out, but if they were REALLY gurgling the problem would mean tearing into our foundation and we wouldn't want that now would we. No, I didn't want that so when they started gurgling again in the fall I just ignored it as the plumber said it wasn't really an issue. Well in February 2007 it could no longer be ignored as sewage started coming up the drains in our shower and bathtub...
