Saucer Summer Tour Part 9


Monday, June 11th, 2012

Mommy was up all night sick so we took our time getting started today.  We got to Epcot around 10:30am and went straight to Soarin’.  Next, as promised, we went to the Captain EO show starring Michael Jackson!!  The boys wanted to buy the movie and couldn’t believe it was so short J  This attraction came to Epcot in 1986 and they brought it back shortly after Michael Jackson died.  One of the people working there told us this would be the last year it will be open L  So glad we were able to see it again.
Next we returned to the Land to ride the boat through Living With the Land through the greenhouses and fish farm.  The exit is right by the entrance for Soarin’ so we hit that right one more time too.

On our way to Mission: SPACE we stopped to watch the new Jamminatiors street show of janitors that stomp and drum on metal trash cans.  It was a great show!!  Alan, Eddie, and Daddy got in line for Mission:SPACE.  Joey and Mommy went to get ice cream, but Mommy’s phone rang.  Daddy was calling to make sure we were at the ride exit because Alan was going to have to ride ALONE!!  We got out of the ice cream line and booked it over to the ride exit.  There was a climbing play area for Joey to play on while Mommy anxiously waited for Alan to come through the exit.  I was a bit surprised that Daddy and Eddie came through first and even more surprised to see the grin on Alan’s face when he finally came through!! 
Joey couldn’t get the ice cream off his mind so we all got ice cream for lunch and headed over to the innoventions area for the kids to play.  Mommy’s tummy was still giving her problems so she found a place to sit.  Alan and Eddie did the Sum of All Thrills and they can’t wait to upload the code online to see the movie they made creating their own adventure!!  Mommy was ready for nap time at the hotel, but wanted to get pictures with the characters and the space ball first.  We waited in line at the Character Spot for 40min to meet Mickey, Pluto, Minnie, Donald, and Goofey!!  Then we went toward the park exit to get on last family shot before Mommy and Joey went back to the hotel.  Alan, Eddie, and Daddy made their way through the countries at the World Showcase.  They had quite an adventure getting back as the monorail closed on them and they had to take some extra buses!!  Mommy and Joey laid down at 5pm and ended up sleeping all night!!

Pictures are HERE.

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...

Dreaming of a White Christmas

While a "White" Christmas is something many dream of, I'm pretty confident in saying I dream and pray that this will be my LAST white Christmas!! It's funny how the only things about snow that "stick" in your memory are the snowball fights, snowman building, sledding and FUN!!! Daniel and I decided the boys would really enjoy seeing snow for the first time this year. So we packed up our mini van turned into a sleigh and then hit the highway our destination was 2 days away. Over the highways and byways we glide to grandmother's house we drive. With turn right or turn left we trust GPS to get us there alive. It turns out we have very bad trip coordination with mother nature. She seemed to think this weekend was the perfect time for a blizzard/white out to visit the mid-west. This didn't quite sync with our driving plans. The further north we drove the talk of snow increased until it was finally falling and hitting our windshield. I warned them o...
