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.

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...
