At this point, it's our last day in the parks, but, we still had so much to do with so little energy left. One of the bonuses of staying at Port Orleans Riverside is that you are just a short and beautiful walking path along the river to Port Orleans French Quarter. I happened to love the Riverside resort. The food was great and it was just the right size. But, French Quarter has beignets...a cajun pastry that is like a little pillow of crispy pastry with powdered sugar sprinkled on top and you can dip it in chocolate or raspberry sauce. Yum! French Quarter also has a really great breakfast skillet where you can choose all of your own ingredients. So good! It was so nice to have two options for food and who doesn't need a little more walking in Disney, hahaha!</div>

We never made it to Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney), so, that was the priority for the day. Another bonus of the Port Orleans resorts, you can take the boat down the river to Disney Springs! We would have liked to have had more time, but, it was kind of a whirlwind visit. The kids had some ice cream at Ghiradelli and we had lunch at Wolf Gang Puck's Express. It was delicious.</div>

Dave and Liv got one more time in with the Buzz Light Year ride and Owen and I hit the Space Mountain ride. The park was so packed though. Even with a Fast Pass, we had a 40 minute wait. We debated taking advantage of the bonus time, but, we were all so tired, nobody wanted to stay. So, back to the hotel we went!</div>

I feel like this blog is how I document everything we do in our little family in our daily lives and we had such an amazing trip to Disney World and I took SO many pictures. But, things have been crazy and this has been a tough year. So, I'm way behind on posts, but, I wanted them posted in order. I will eventually catch up, but, after I finish our trip!</div>

At this point in the trip, the kids were tired and ready for a break. So, Dave went by himself to visit with his friend Jackie and her girls at Magic Kingdom in the morning while the kids had some down time at the hotel. The kids live for the pools. We almost don't even have to go to the parks, just hang out at the pool! Maybe not everywhere, but, the Disney hotels are another experience all in themselves. </div>

We planned to meet up with Dave and Jackie at Epcot after our lazy morning. So, we washed up and had a good nap and then headed to the park. </div>

One of the bonuses of having a Disney credit card...even if you don't ever charge to it...is that you get private access to a secret photo opportunity. We only managed to take advantage of it once during our trip, but, it was well worth it. They have it at Epcot in an air conditioned room and there was NO LINE despite the fact that the park was elbow to elbow that day!</div>

Then it was off to Turtle Talk with Crush. One of my favorites, but, this time, there were some really inappropriate kids in the audience that talked about killing Crush and stuff like that which really put a downer on it. Where are the freaking parents!!! I would have snatched my kids up if a statement like that were to come out of their mouths.</div>

We had Fast Passes to take pictures with Mickey and Friends not realizing thats who was at the Visa Card Meet and Greet, but, we headed over to do those anyway. At least, it was in another air conditioned room!! Liv was thrilled to meet them all again. Owen wasn't exactly down with the personal interactions, but, he was tolerant at least...can't ask for much more than that, right! ;O)<br />

We hadn't been able to spend much time at Epcot during our trip. Every time we'd planned to be there, it either got nixed due to tired kids or we met Jackie and her family there which made for slower goings. So, we tried to do as much as possible on this particular night, but, still didn't make much headway. The Soarin' ride was down our entire trip, so, that was a big bummer and made for extra long lines at the other rides.<br />
<br />
Did some Donald visiting and hit the Three Caballeros with Donald ride. We ate pizza in Italy for dinner and then we went to watch Illuminations...not my favorite Disney show. <br />

But, we weren't done, the kids were dying to get some time in the arcade. Although there wasn't much for Livi Bug to do, they both had fun and we finally headed off to our room. I think one of the best parts for the kids though is that at the end of the night each night we'd all stand in the tub and I'd wash their little stinky feet, hahaha!! The kids thought that was great. <br />

We lost our little Sammy Sunshine, who never answered to anything but "Bird", suddenly on Friday night. We are all reeling from the loss. We just didn't see it coming and for him to pass away in front of all of us, made it so much more traumatic.</div>

Dave and I don't know life together without him. He turned 14 in July, Dave and I bought him from a pet store in Missoula over Labor Day weekend the year before we graduated. He drove up the Alcan with us when we graduated...he even got us kicked out of Canada when the fears of Bird Flu were at their peak. He was our guard dog and our constant companion every day for 14 years. He was the king of the household and seemed to have some sort of power over all the other animals that dared to share "his" home. We miss him so much and are still having a hard time going downstairs without talking to him and hearing him chirp back "Pretty Bird" from inside his Happy Hut. We just can't believe he's gone.</div>

We love you Bird, we have so many wonderful memories with you, you will never be forgotten....</div>

(Day 10-3/14)We started the morning off with a quick trip to Hollywood Studios to try and hit the Toy Storia Mania ride one last time. We arrived shortly after opening, but, the wait was already 2.5 hours!!! So, we came to the conclusion we were going to have to give up the fight. <br />
<br />
I guess they already shut down the Honey I Shrunk the Kids! show. But, the playground is still open. The kids have never seen the movie and didn't get it at all, but, they loved the playground! We also took a quick walk up and down all the movie set streets.<br />

Olivia and I headed off to the Frozen Sing A Long Show and Dave decided to suck it up and try the Star Tours 3D ride the kids and I had already done, even though he has issues with them...I think he hated the thought of missing out on anything Star Wars!<br />
<br />
<div>
I was dreading the Frozen show a little, but, it turned out to be fantastic. It was basically a recap of the movie, but, from the perspective of the town historians. They were hilarious and definitely geared the comedy towards the adults. The only down side is that Liv decided she had to use the restroom just shortly after it started. I made her wait until she was panicking and then gave up our perfect center stage seats. I was super upset. Thankfully, they were nice enough to let us back into the show, but, of course, I didn't want to walk over everyone to get back to our seats. So, we sat in some open seats in the back corner to finish out the show.<br />

So, as Dave and Owen were leaving the Star Tours ride, a guy had puked and passed out in the hallway. That was Dave's greatest fear, he could really sympathize with the poor guy. I guess he was really embarrassed. It would especially stink to make it through the whole darn ride and then get sick and pass out in the hallway where everyone and their brother has to walk past you!!! Dave on the other hand faired much better. There was lots of time to kill before Liv and I got out of our show, so, the boys looked around some and Owen made his own light saber. They met up with us after the show and we headed back to the hotel. </div>

The Star Wars portion of the park is a mad house these days with the recent release of Star Wars 7. I was really glad Dave got a picture of Owen on this because there were long lines to do so every time we'd gone by prior.</div>

We made one last stop at the Muppet 3D show which both kids really loved and then I made them stop and take pictures in front of the sign on our way out of the park, but, the sun was right in our eyes and this is the best we got, they were HORRIBLE! Hahaha!</div>

The pool here is not nearly as exciting as Caribbean Beach, but, it was heated and it had a slide, that's all Owen cares about!! The hot tub is all Liv looks for in a pool, haha, so, she too was satisfied! There was a cute baby pool as well that Liv liked walking around in, but, it wasn't more than waist deep.</div>

I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the hotel and grounds while Dave and the kids played. We stayed in room 9763 of the Parterre Place Building. It is WAY easier to find your way around this resort than Caribbean Beach, which I for one really appreciated. Down the center of the resort is a river with boats that take you next door to Port Orleans French Quarter (which is also a beautiful and easy walk) or you can take it all of the way to Downtown Disney (Now called Disney Springs). Each building had a garden in the center center with a 3-story center portion and then wings off the sides with just two floors. But, unlike Caribbean Beach, this place had elevators for getting your luggage to your room which was really nicer than I realized!</div>

She slept all the way through the park and the whole time we waited for her and her dad's Fast Pass to Dumbo to start. I wasn't sure she'd wake up in time to ride that either. Man was it HOT too! The park was absolutely packed and getting a drink meant standing in long miserable lines. Dave and Owen met us at the Dumbo ride and then seeing Liv was still asleep, they headed out to find water. It took them FOREVER, I honestly thought I might pass out. This was officially spring break week for both Florida and Texas and it was more crowded than we'd ever seen it. We'd planned to stay at the park for the late Extra Magic Hours, but, we just were all too tired and too miserable to stick it out. So, we opted to do our Fast Passes and get the heck out of dodge instead.</div>

Owen and I headed out to ride our next ride, Thunder Mountain, only to find out it had just broken down. Owen wasn't disappointed however, he's not a fan apparently. I was bummed though, I hadn't gotten to ride it yet and with the crowds, didn't get another opportunity. The worst part of the break down was that it was the very beginning of our Fast Pass time, so, in order to not lose it, we'd have to come back when it was up and running again. The crowds were just too heavy to allow for that, so, we ended up forfeiting it. Had it broken down and not been fixed within our allotted time frame, we would have been given a Fast Pass to use on any ride at any time. Bummer!</div>

Our next round of Fast Passes was Space Mountain for Owen and I and Buzz Light Year's Space Ranger Spin for Dave and Liv. Owen wasn't sure he loved it, but, it's my favorite!! The downside though was even with the Fast Passes, the weight was over 30 minutes!!! We've never waited more than 10 with a Fast Pass!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Liv and I had one last Fast Pass to use before we left the park...Ariel's Grotto! She was SO excited to meet Ariel and I think the pictures are adorable, totally worth sticking it out in the madhouse that was the park! Dave and Owen took a tour of the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and hit the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade.</span></div>

None of us wanted to get up. Unfortunately, not only did we get in late the night before, today is Daylight Savings, so, we lost another hour. We REALLY loved the resort and wanted to stay and enjoy it. But, we packed up instead and headed out yet again.<br />
<br />
We woke up so late, it was lunch time by the time we packed up and left the hotel. So, we decided to hit Steak 'N Shake one more time. It did not live up to our expectations. The waitress kept complaining that they were running so behind because they were severely understaffed. One guy even came in from the drive-through and said he'd been waiting for his food for over 20 minutes!! When we were finally able to get out of there, we could see at least 6 employees sitting outside smoking and chatting. Really? We headed out to Port Orleans-Riverside resort in hopes of checking-in. But, no such luck. <br />

So, we parked the van, grabbed our stuff, and caught a bus to Animal Kingdom. Dave and Owen took off to wait out the line at Expedition Everest and Liv and I walked around Asia checking out all the animals. Dave and Owen took WAY longer than anticipated and it was SO hot and humid!! We kept hoping for rain because it was so stifling.<br />
<br />
Liv and I headed off to do the Jungle Trek while Owen and Dave went to wait in line for the Mount Everest ride. It was so stinking hot and miserable and their 30 minute wait was over an HOUR!! Liv and I were bored outta our minds and dying. <br />

Dave really wanted to do the Jungle Trek, so, Liv and I headed off to find Pocahontas. Unfortunately, with her mom's sense of direction, we got lost. So, we stopped to visit with Baloo and King Louie instead. <br />

When Dave found us, we realized that Pocahontas wasn't even in the park for another couple of hours. So, we stopped for some family photos and then we opted to meet Goofy and Pluto on our way out of the park. Unfortunately, it took FOREVER. So, Dave took the kids for a spin on the Triceratops Spin while I held their place in line. They both love that ride.<br />

We hadn't heard from the hotel still and we had Fast Passes to make at Hollywood Studios, so, we hopped a bus over to the other park. Liv and I headed straight for the Disney Jr. Stage show and Dave and Owen for Indiana Jones.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were really afraid that we'd be late to the show since it was all the way at the back of the park. But, we actually arrived about 5 minutes before our fast pass started. So, we hopped in line to meet Sofia the First.</div>

The Disney Jr. show was more interactive than I remember. Liv's doing the Hot Dog dance with the Mickey Mouse Club gang in the picture below. She LOVED the show. I did NOT enjoy it...they make you sit on the floor and then they bring the puppets up out of a 3 foot high stage. So, unless they're standing at the front of the stage, you can barely see the characters...such a poor approach. Don't know why there's been no effort to improve it. It's a very popular show with the teeny crowd.</div>

Dave and Owen's Indiana Jones show started 20 minutes after ours did, so, I figured we had time to kill. So, we took advantage of it and Liv met Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Doc McStuffins. She was thrilled. We debated stopping for a picture with Minnie, but, the line was long and we decided that would be pushing our luck.</div>

Unfortunately for us, we still had a LOT of time to wait. So, we got a snack, an ice cream cone for Liv that looked too big for her...but, she proved me wrong...and a cinnamon and sugar funnel cake for me that I had trouble saving enough to share with Dave and Owen!</div>

<br />
Our next stop was Star Tours, although, Dave opted out of it. It's one of those rides where you sit in a movie theatre style seat that's on a platform that shifts along with a 3D movie. First of all, this one wasn't 3D last time and second, they've updated the entire show with new characters from Star Wars 7 (or so I've been told) and new twists and turns. It was INTENSE and for the first time, I felt a little nauseous. There were a lot of these shows last time and I LOVED them...it may have gotten a little too real for me though! ;O) Of course, it would have been a lot more enjoyable if I didn't have to keep reminding Liv to close her eyes when it got to be too much for her. She toughed it out like a man, but, she definitely did more than she was comfortable with while we were there.<br />
<br />
After the ride, we had lunch at ABC commissary and then we decided to do a little looking around. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Because of the weird Tiered Fast Pass System at Hollywood Studios (actually, this annoying system is at all the parks except Magic Kingdom), our last Fast Passes were Aerosmith for Dave and Owen, and the Fantastic show for me and Liv.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the Expedition ride at Animal Kingdom, Owen was hesitant to ride any more extreme rides and decided that Aerosmith would be too much. <br />
<br />
So, we ended up all heading over to the Fantasmic show. Because Liv and I had a Fast Pass however, we split up and separated before the show. On top of that, my cell phone was long since dead. Liv and I ended up with some pretty crappy seats on the far left of the stadium, but, down close to the action and without any big heads in front of her. Unfortunately, she decided she had to go to the bathroom RIGHT before the show started and we had nobody to save our seats without Dave and Owen. Since there aren't actually any Fast Pass seats, the hoards of people flooding in took our seats. We ended up at the very back of the stadium in the overflow area and could see nothing happening down on the water, just the fireworks. I was SO mad at her since I had BEGGED her to try right before we went into the show!!! I do not like this show in the first place and would have been far happier riding the rides while everyone else watched the show. Liv seemed to enjoy it regardless though, so I guess that was the important part.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, we waited out the crowd and Dave and Owen found us at the back of the stadium. We had our hearts set on watching the Star Wars themed fireworks, Symphony in the Stars. It was worth the wait, it was UNBELIEVABLE!!! Definitely a not-miss.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But, we were really glad to go home afterwards and check out our new digs. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Based on something the girl said at check-in, we were suspicious that we had been upgraded again. When we got to our room we were not disappointed!! We had been upgraded to a "royal" rom. SO much fun!!! The only difference is in the decorations and the fireworks headboard....but, that added about $40/night to the bill, not something I could justify!!! So thrilled that we got it anyway!<br />

(Day 8-3/12)After leaving the condo, we headed to Whole Foods for breakfast, I just love their hot buffet and baked goods!! Dave and I both felt better already just by putting some space between us and the condo. <br />
<br />
We were a little behind schedule, but, headed straight for Gator Park for an airboat ride. SO much fun! We saw two baby alligators and one turtle hanging out in the swampy areas during our ride. Afterwards they did a little show and showed us a scorpion, toad, and of course, more alligators. Afterwards, the kids were ecstatic to get a picture with one! They had quite a few more alligators in pens on the grounds that we got to look at too and a beautiful peacock walking around greeting people. On the way out, I noticed a huge alligator just sitting on the side of the highway not far from the park. It was shocking and by the time I could process what I was seeing, it was too late for everyone else!<br />

After a stop for lunch at Sonic (yum!) we headed off for the Everglades National Park and Flamingo Visitors Center. Everything I had read said they no longer had boat tours because of damage from the last hurricane, but, apparently, that had changed. I was super disappointed. We didn't have time to do the tour since we had to hit both parks before they closed. So, we looked around the visitors center a bit and then headed for Biscayne and Dante Fascell Visitors Center instead. <br />

There were tons of people picnicking and playing in boats on the water here. Looked like lots of fun. We looked around and took some pictures and then it was back in the car headed for Orlando!<br />

Again, the drive back was super boring and took far longer than anticipated. Another 5.5 hours to be exact. To make matters worse, I could not find a hotel with any availability. I used every website I could think of, but, every time I clicked on one in our price range, it said there was nothing available...so annoying!! They all ask for dates prior to searching "available" rooms, so, I don't understand the issue. Anyway, Dave reccomended calling Disney to see if there had been any cancellations and they could sneak us in one night early. I called, but, they could only get us into Art of Animations Little Mermaid room or one of their $400+ rooms at a Deluxe hotel. Art of Animation is considered a "value" resort and I had heart ache paying more for a room there than we were paying at the "moderates". So, I declined and continued my online search. But, after finding absolutely no available rooms anywhere, we decided just to pay the higher rate and get a Little Mermaid room.<br />
<br />
When we arrived in the room it was already almost 11 and we were EXHAUSTED. It took us a minute, but, Dave pointed out that the room was Nemo, not Little Mermaid themed and it was actually a 1-bedroom suite. It took another minute, but, I remembered seeing these online. At first, the second bed appeared to be a small pull-out couch that I was super upset about. I had no idea how Owen could sleep on it. But, it turned out that it was actually a third bed. The dining table was actually a Murphy bed. So, the kids each got their own bed which was greatly needed and Dave and I got our own bedroom and bathroom! <br />
<br />
This place was absolutely unbelievable. It was themed down to the bubble sheets. I looked up the price online, we paid $195 for a $495 room! Not too shabby! Especially after the miserable mess we left behind in Miami!!<br />
<br />
This was the kid's bathroom made to resemble the submarine scene with the sharks, unbelievable.<br />

There's also a Cars and a Lion King section. Dave was hurrying us, so, I didn't get to scope out the Lion King area, but, I got a glimpse of the Cars.<br />

So, part of the downside of this hotel is the amazing volume of people staying at this hotel. It's not exactly an escape from the parks. There were people streaming through EVERYWHERE even at all hours of the night. I took this picture of the lobby during the day. You can only imagine the excessive stimulation it provides when it's dark outside...those lights are unreal!!</div>

We all hated to leave, but, we're looking forward to some time at the beach. We headed out and hit the interstate for what is supposed to be a 3.5 hour drive. It was SO amazingly boring!!! There's absolutely nothing off the turnpike but farmland. No towns, no exits, nothing to look at...and all flat. About halfway there we opted to take the slightly longer route on I-95 that at least went past some cities. With bathroom breaks and food stops, it ended up taking us over 5 hours before we finally arrived at our destination, Miami Beach. <br />
<br />
Liv fell asleep almost immediately and we couldn't even get her to wake up for lunch and a milkshake at Sonic!!<br />

What a hell hole!!!! The traffic was insane, so, by the time we got there, we decided there was no way to drive back to the city itself to look around as we had originally planned, but, we weren't exactly dying to at this point anyway. I've seen reality shows set in Miami Brach and they didn't show this!! There was no "good" part of town. It was all dirty and looked sketchy and then right in the middle was Nieman Marcus and there was nothing but BMWs, Cadillacs, and Jaguars in the road around us. So bizarre! <br />
<br />
Our room was equally disgusting. Everything was rusted beyond repair and the double pain windows had so much water between them you could barely see out. We were definitely not pleased. This is probably our last experience with VRBO...I'll just plan to pay-up in the future or stay home!<br />
<br />
Anyway, we tried to make the best of it and headed out to the beach. Everyone enjoyed it, but, it was not the atmosphere we were used to. It didn't have the same smell I expect at the beach and again, just seemed a little dirtier than I'd expected. <br />

After grabbing a pizza for dinner and settling in for the night, it started... every time the A/C cut out it would make this loud banging/clanging sound that made us jump.

But, we were out so late at Magic Kingdom last night, we were exhausted and knew we would want to sleep-in. So, we decided instead to hang out at the hotel and spend some time at the pool in the morning and after a good nap, head to Hollywood Studios.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Olivia came down with the sniffles last night. She had a rough night, but, seemed much better in the morning. So, we went ahead and headed to the pool around 10. It was cool and windy when we first got there, but, by noon, it was super hot! The pool is SO cold! There was no way I was going to swim at that temperature. So, I took the opportunity to take pictures around the hotel instead.<br />
<br />
This shot is the main building where the cafeteria and gift store is located. To the right is the outdoor eating area and the bar (to the right but not in the picture). Pasts the bar and seating area is the pool.<br />

This is the second slide. He was too tired he almost couldn't bring himself to go down one more time, so the lifeguard helped me convince him to do it and then he stood in the way of the picture to holler at that other little boy, DUDE!!!</div>

This is the toddler's swim area with a pirate ship. I was doing laundry when Dave took Liv over to this area, but, I guess it was short lived. She definitely prefers the hot tub over the pool or the slides. Not to mention...</div>

Olivia agreed to go with me to the playground area to take pictures while we waited for the boys to dry out. Although, she wasn't necessarily the most cooperative model! ;O) This is the bridge that connects the front half of the resort to the playground and then to the back half of the resort. This place is so huge. There's a running trail that goes around the lake on the inside of the hotel complex and it's 1.2 miles!!!</div>

And a friend hiding in the weeds...there's a second sandy area just down the path with an actual playground to play on, but, it was so boring, I didn't even bother to take pictures. It was quite a disappointment after the grandness of the rest of the complex.</div>

I think I mentioned before that we were in the Martinique portion of the complex in room 2352 on the second floor in building 23. We loved the hotel complex and the room was great, but, just one room down was the housekeeping storage room. The door on it was heavy and one of the housekeeping staff would go in and out of it, letting it slam behind them, every few minutes from 8 in the morning until 5 at night. Coming home for a nap was frustrating. Fortunately, we were all so exhausted from walking around the parks and still trying to recover from the long first day, so, it didn't seem to stop us from resting.<br />

There are four other portions of the complex and each section is painted a different color. (Old Port Royale is the main building with the cafeteria and gift stores.) Even after spending a week at the hotel complex, I have no opinion on what portion would be the most convenient. We were reasonably close to the pool and main building as well as the bus stop in our section, but, I spent so much time lost, I had to walk an excessive amount anyway!!</div>

The lighthouse in front is where you can rent a fishing boat complete with a captain or a bike to ride around the complex. On the far right you can see the front half of the bridge and the pool is in the background.</span></div>

We headed to lunch at Red Lobster and hit Walgreens for some cold medicine for Liv who was deteriorating quickly. We realized at that point that the kids weren't going to have time for a nap before our first Fast Pass at Hollywood Studios and Liv NEEDED one! Later Fast Passes weren't available, so, we decided to go back to Magic Kingdom after nap time instead. When we woke up though, it was apparent that the kids weren't having it. Dave and I had a little heart ache about wasting a day of park tickets after spending so much, but, we had no interest in pushing the kids and quite honestly, we were pooped too. </div>

So we took them to to Disneys Winter Summer Mini Golf Park as a compromise. We all had a blast. Olivia did really well, but, we lost her by hole 13. At that point, she'd just throw the ball in the hole and call it good, haha! I got some really fun pictures out of it though! Afterwards, we had dinner at Chick-Fil-A and then back to the hotel for a movie under the stars, Nemo this time...Owen opted to use up his arcade points instead of the movie.</div>

Tomorrow we head to Miami. Liv's been so funny. First of all, for the last few days she's made comments about our "old house". She's convinced we've moved to Florida. When we explained that we were only here a short time and that we'd go home soon, she informed us that we should buy a big house here and get some tiny dogs (I assume to replace our big ones back home). Then today she started asking about going to Your-ami...you know, we keep talking about My-ami...SO FUNNY!!! She does the same thing with My Little Ponies...if you ask her about them she says "they aren't your ponies they are my little ponies".<br />

(Day 5 - 3/9)Today was a scheduled "rest" day...very much needed too!! We slept in and headed to the water park, Blizzard Beach. It was overcast and a little windy, not exactly optimal conditions for a water park, but, crowds were scarce at least!!<br />
<br />
Dave talked us all into hitting the raft ride first, Team Rapids...Liv and I are not fans!!! Then we hit the lazy river which we all enjoyed. Although, Dave managed to drop the camera in the river and we had to cut the ride short to go look for it. He and Owen walked the river trying to find it and I took Liv to Tike's Peak to play while we waited. The boys didn't have any luck, so, we headed over to the wave pool, Melt Away Bay. The boys and I loved it, but, Liv wanted to go back to Tike's Peak. <br />

So, Dave took Owen to do the Slush Gusher and they loved it so much, they rode it twice. I took Liv and we checked-in with Lost and Found where someone had already found and returned the camera, lucky for us! Then it was back to Tike's Peak where she did the smaller version of the slides and LOVED them! <br />

Both kids had a blast and were exhausted by lunch time. Check out Liv's hair, it amazes me the curls she gets when she's in any kind of humidity. She was clearly thrilled to pose for the picture.<br />

We headed out and hit a second Steak 'n Shake that was absolutely awful!!<br />
<br />
After a late nap, we headed to the Magic Kingdom for a late evening with Extra Magic Hours until midnight! We had an absolute blast! We did SO much!!! We started with Peter Pan's Flight, a trip on Prince Charming's Regal Carrousel for all of us and then a trip on the Liberty Square Riverboat, Pirates of the Caribbean, Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride, Enchanted Tiki Room, watched the Electrical Light Parade, met Anna and Elsa, then Liv and I met Cinderella and Rapunzel while Dave and Owen looked for churros to no avail, then it was off to the Many Adventures of Whinnie the Pooh, Gastons Tavern for a couple warm cinnamon rolls, then Owen and I rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train while Olivia and Dave took on Dumbo, then Owen and I met them and we all rode it again, the three of them then took a spin on the Tea Cups, then onto Goofy's Barnstormer (twice for Dave and Owen), we then headed to Tomorrowland to watch Stitch's Great Escape and both kids picked out Stitch stuffdies. We headed for the buses, but, stopped at Main Street Confectionary for some super good cookies for the ride home.<br />
<br />
Olivia does not wake up happy...even after a PB&J sandwich! ;O)<br />

I don't think they had the bus arrival times last time we were in the park, so, thought I'd share a picture of the screen located at every resort bus stop. I can't help but think they must have an app you can download too, but, I never bothered to look. I only wish they had these at the bus stops at the parks when you are trying to get home.</div>

Rapunzel took me aside as we were leaving the meet and greet and told me that Olivia was just "precious". I thought that was really sweet of her to take the time to do that. I can't imagine how many kids she deals with every day.<br />

Olivia was SO nervous to meet Elsa. She and Anna are her favorite princesses, but, she tells everyone that Elsa is her sister. The princesses are so amazing. They stay in character even when talking to the kids. They don't just chit-chat, they bring up things from their movies to discuss. Like Rapunzel asked if Liv ever gets tangles and who helps her comb her hair. It was pretty funny.</div>

(Day 4 - 3/8)We woke up early and head to the Magic Kingdom for breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table as a surprise for Olivia. We also had a Cinderella costume with us for her to wear that she didn't know about, she was absolutely thrilled to wear it. Everyone addressed Liv as "Princess" all day long and she just thought that was amazing. The park was empty except for those of us with breakfast or tour reservations, so, we took advantage of it and stopped for pictures on our way into the castle. That in and of itself was worth the price of the breakfast!! I had better Crocs picked out for Liv to wear with this dress...silver glittery ones, but, of course, when I went to order, they didn't have her size. I didn't realize the pink ones would stand out so much or I may have rethought the outfit! How cute is she though!!! She ate up every bit of being a princess and didn't even want to take the dress off even when we went to bed!<br />

The breakfast was worth every penny and we enjoyed it immensely. Liv got to meet almost every princess and thought they were all super nice. Owen on the other hand was absolutely mortified. He didn't want to do pictures and hated being called "prince". Hahaha. For breakfast, the Disney photographers took the pictures with Cinderella, but, the other princesses visit you at your table and you are on your own for pictures. It took me a couple tries, but, I eventually got a good place for Liv to stand in the dining hall for a good shot. I also didn't realize how accommodating the princess would be if you asked. They were all really sweet and generous with their time.</div>

After the breakfast we headed over to the Seven Dwarf's Train and this time, we all rode it together. As expected, Olivia HATED it! She had a death grip on me the whole time. She was so afraid it kind of ruined the ride for me too. It was hard not to feel her fear. I was just begging for the ride to be over for her sake. You can see in the picture how afraid she was. But, I thought it was important that she try it at least once. I'm not sure why now though! ;O)<br />

This is the coolest part of the ride to me. After you get off the ride, the exit path leads you right past a full-size replica of the Seven-Dwarf's cottage. Pretty cool huh!<br />

We hit Mickey's 3-D show Philharmagic afterwards which is always fun to watch and hasn't changed a bit!! Then, on the way out, we stopped in the attached store to look at ears and Owen got to try his might on the Sword in the Stone which he had been dying to get his hands on. </div>

To our amazement, he pulled it out!! Everyone around us was as shocked as were we...I had no idea that could happen! It was awesome and Owen was thrilled beyond belief!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In another visit to the park later on, Dave noticed a dude in street clothes quietly walking around with a remote control that he pushed to allow another little boy to pull up the sword. So amazing. Poor Owen, I was really making him pose for the picture, I figure the guy took pity on him with such a high-maintenance mom!! </div>

Then it was time for all of us to go the interactive show Enchanted Tales with Belle. Olivia was given the role as the Wardrobe! Super cute! Again, this show did not make Owen's day, but, Liv insisted he stay by her side instead of in the audience with the adults. This is the professional pic of Liv, I was super disappointed in the quality considering, but, guess it gets the job done. Lumiere in the background is an unbelievable robot, his arms are fluid like a snake and his flames looked so real.<br />

After Belle's show, we had some time to kill and the kids were dying to do the Tomorrowland Speedway ride. Disney doesn't allow you to pick the times for your Fast Passes. Instead, you pick your attractions and they assign you three different time options to choose from. In most cases, you have an hour window to use your fast pass on a particular attraction and they allow up to two hours between the end of one Fast Pass window and the beginning of another. We found the whole Fast Pass system entirely infuriating and it was awful to have to plan what parks you would go to and what rides you wanted to do and when 60 days prior to your arrival. It took the spontaneity and flexibility out of having park hopper tickets and required lots of spreadsheets and planning...also not something I think of when I think Disney!! <br />
<br />
Anyway, fortunately for us, since we didn't have a Fast Pass, the line to Tomorrowland Speedway wasn't bad and we were able to wait it out. Unfortunately for the kids, I amuse myself in long lines by taking their pictures! ;O)<br />

We headed out of the park for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory...some of us with a chauffeur...and had another late nap. On the bus ride home, the bus driver was nice enough to announce that we had a special guest on board, a real Disney Princess. It was noisy and I didn't figure Olivia had even heard him, but, she exclaimed, "Gasp, that's ME!". She was super pleased. All of the staff at Disney is amazing. It's amazing the customer service and just overall pleasant demeanor the "Cast Members" provided everywhere we went, even the bus drivers!<br />

We decided to stick close to the hotel again that evening and watched a Movie Under the Stars at the hotel, Lilo and Stitch, so fun! The Caribbean beach movie is right next to the pool and the pool bar, so, Dave and I each had a fun drink while we watched. The downside is there's lots of noise which makes it hard to focus on a movie. <br />
<br />
Afterwards, Owen and Olivia spent some time playing in the hotel's arcade and had sone downtime in the room before getting some sleep.<br />

(Day 3 - 3/7)We were still dragging and didn't exactly make it to The Animal Kingdom in time for the extra Magic Hour at 8am, but, we did hit the park in time for our Fast Pass for the Dinosaur ride. Olivia rode it, poor thing was terrified though and after we got off she again announced she didn't want to do it again, haha. We stopped for a ride on TriceraTop Spin to ease Olivia's fears, she really enjoyed that one. <br />

We stopped for a snack on our way to the It's Tough to be a Bug show. Dave and I shared some barbecued beef and cheddar cheese grits and the kids shared a Mickey Mouse pretzel and cheese, both of which were really good! <br />
<br />
The lighting in the waiting area made for trippy photos which we thought were kind of fun, hahaha! Last time, Owen was terrified of this show and made it through about the first thirty seconds before he started screaming his head off and I had to rush him out of there. We kind of coached Liv through the fact that there would be water sprayed on her and different things poking and running past her. She was still pretty frightened, but, stuck it out. It definitely wasn't her favorite. <br />

Then it was back to the hotel for a dip in the pool (and laundry for me)! By that point, it was so late, there was no point in taking a nap and we were hopeful that without a nap we might get on a better schedule.<br />

Afterwards we had lunch at Sweet Tomatoes which we always love, but, don't remember it being so expensive and we did some shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joes. At that point, we all hit a wall and headed home to call it an early night! Of course, by the time we got to sleep, it was usually midnight...that was early for us! Haha!<br />

So, we drug ourselves out of bed just for Toy Story Midway Mania, Owens favorite ride last time. Our plan was to hit that ride and then head over to Epcot. Unfortunately, we got there just in time for the ride to break-down!!! The good news is that they trade out your fast-pass in that case for a "universal" one that works on any ride in that particular park that you want at any time you want that day. So, we walked over and hit the Voyage of the Little Mermaid, another first time for all of us. It was great, not sure why we've never done that one before!! The bad news is we were never able to get back on the ride. The wait time was over an hour both additional trips we made to Hollywood Studios.<br />
<br />
Then it was off to Epcot. Doesn't Liv crack you up, she looked like a little old lady sitting across from us on the bus...she's so independent!! She also refused to wear shorts which kind of cracked me up.<br />

It really cracked me up that Liv was so bundled up. It wasn't exactly hot, but, we were all comfortable in shorts and a tank top today for sure. She so had to be dying!</div>

We did eventually get her into shorts, so, I took a quick picture to commemorate it! Hahaha! After that, she didn't wear pants again while we were there. Of course, each day was hotter than the one before, so, that kind of fixed the issue!</div>

At Epcot Jacquie told us her girls' favorite ride was the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros (and Donald Duck of course!), so, we did that first and then had an amazing lunch at La Cantina de San Angel, also in Mexico. Owen and I both had the Empanadas con Queso (Fried flour tortillas filled with cheese and served with Mexican slaw.) Dave had nachos that were loaded high and especially good and Olivia had the very festive chicken tenders, haha. Jacquie's girls were both pretty sleepy when we met up with them the night before, so, there wasn't much interaction. But, this morning, Liv and Anika (almost 3) really hit it off. They really would have liked to just play than ride any of the rides or walk around the park. They also realized right off that they both had Little Mermaid shirts on, totally unplanned!<br />

We had a surprise for Owen scheduled that night! We had to head over to the Contemporary Hotel for the Pirates and Pals Fireworks Cruise. It was a lot of fun and we got to meet Captain Hook, Smee, and Peter Pan. Definitely glad we did it!!<br />
<br />
When you first check in, you are given a handkerchief that you are supposed to wear so that they can clearly tell that you belong on the cruise. It was kind of cute, I read somewhere that these are such a collector's item, you can actually sell them on eBay for more than the cruise purchase price.<br />

In typical Disney fashion, they think of everything. So, while you wait for everyone to arrive, they have pictures and crayons out to keep the littlest ones busy. Afterwards, you go into a conference room where Smee and Captain Hook are waiting to take pictures with you. In the meantime, there are snacks of all kinds, cotton candy, ice cream including Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwiches and chocolate dipped ice cream bars, drinks, and of course, chocolate doubloons (totally didn't know it was spelled that way)!! <br />

So, after everyone is all sugared up, it's off to the boats...you are on one of two boats, either Captain Hook's or Smee's. But, neither character actually joins you, they just wave goodbye from the dock. Instead, you are appointed a new captain, Patch or his twin brother Patch who made appearances earlier in the night. On the way out to the appointed spot on the water, Patch leads up sing-alongs and works the crowd with jokes. </div>

He also goes through and asks where each family is from. We were by far the farthest from home and one of only a few families not from Texas... He also asks some Disney trivia and hands out prizes to the kids that answer correctly. With a little help from his dad, Owen got the name of the parrot in Aladdin...Iago and was rewarded with a sword and eye patch. Those that didn't answer any questions still got a prize as they exited the boat, a hook which Liv couldn't have been happier about!</div>

The fireworks were great and it was a good view as well as being a unique one. But, unfortunately, we were stuck on the wrong side of the boat, so, we had heads in our way. It would have been nice if they'd at least turned the boat half-way through to give both sides a good view. We also didn't get to see the water electrical parade that apparently is often a part of the tour if the timing is right. I'd definitely ask more questions in the future if we were to choose to do this again!!<br />

After departing the boat, you get to meet Peter Pan!! I was excited about this trip mostly because these three characters are not typically available in the parks. So, it was definitely an added bonus to get to meet them. Olivia was so funny about Hook and Smee though. She told us they were naughty and didn't want to meet them initially, hahaha. She has a point!<br />

Our hotel room is in the "Martinique" portion of the complex. This place is HUGE! We are the third bus stop of 7!!! The buildings are all only 2 stories tall and each island is a differnent color and has its own pool, laundry facility, and picnic area. It's really a beautiful complex.<br />

We landed in Orlando just before 6am (2am AK time) and grabbed our rental car. With our road trip plans, we opted for a mini van for the first time. I don't know why we haven't done that before!! The van is really nice and comes complete with leather seats, a DVD player, and captain chairs for the kids. Not to mention the ample cargo space!! I'm not saying I'd ever buy one...buuuuut, I definitely never thought I'd be so happy to drive one either!! Word to the wise, we later found out that if you add your milage number, Alamo for sure and I'm assuming others do it too, tack on a random fee of $10 to your rental agreement without giving you any idea. Nice huh!<br />
<br />
We headed directly to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, yum!! Then we were off to check-in and see if we could get into our room at Disney's Caribbean Beach. Unfortunately, the hotel could not get us in right away, but, promised to text when the room was ready. Another learning experience here that we learned after the fact...if you ask to be a priority and say that you are going to hang out on the property until the room is ready, they will give you one of the first available rooms. However if you do that, the room most likely won't meet any of your preferences like top floor or corner room...that kind of thing. We also learned that although they tell you check-in is at 3pm, that doesn't mean your room will be ready at that time. In fact, the hotel's policy, at least the Disney World hotels, is that your room will be available no later than 5pm. Kind of frustrating to learn after you've been awake for over 32 hours...<br />
<br />
The check-in was fun though. They gave Liv two buttons, one button said it was her birthday (I didn't say anything about that, they must have taken it from the birthdate I noted on our account at some point), and the other button said it was her first visit. They also gave her and I super cute glittery wands and the boys got swords. So, after such a warm greeting, we were off to a good start. We all changed into shorts in the parking lot and caught the first bus to the Magic Kingdom!! It was in the mid-60s by then and a little bit windy. We took sweatshirts, but, were still a little on the chilly side until later in the day.<br />

We were all dragging, but, with the new fast-pass system, we had 3 rides on the agenda. First stop, Thunder Mountain. Olivia's head barely grazed the measuring stick allowing her on all the good rides, phew!!! Thank goodness she gets to wear shoes...I'm guessing her height chart in her room is about a 1/2" lower than it should be or at least, Disney takes shoes into account when they build the height sticks. She got on the ride with no objection, but, announced that she didn't want to ride that one again as we exited, haha! We didn't understand at that point that we got the ride pictures, nor did we understand that you had to use the fancy new Magic Band to claim your picture as you depart the ride. So, we missed out on the picture with all of us on the train. <br />
<br />
But, Dave and Owen hit Splash Mountain next and somehow accidentally secured their picture. We gave both kids a Disney gift card on a lanyard and told them it was their money to spend on special treats and souvenirs, but, when it was gone, it was gone. Owen blew through his right off, but, we didn't end up letting Liv have the final say on hers. Right off the bat, while we waited for her dad and brother, Liv found a $10 lollipop she wanted. It was super cute, but, not $10 worth!! I talked her into the $6 bundle of smaller lollipops that I knew would last longer. She was happy with that thankfully!<br />

<br />
Then we were all off to the newest ride, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. It was VERY similar to Thunder Mountain, so, we decided not to push the issue with Liv. Instead, Dave went with Owen and Liv and I opted for Prince Charming's Regal Carousel instead. Actually, this was probably the first time that the kid's age difference really was a factor. Liv tries to keep up with Owen in every way until we rarely remember how little she really still is. It also had a big effect on pictures. Liv and I spent a lot of time alone and a lot of time waiting on the boys...so, I'm sure there's a skewed number of pictures of our little trouble maker! <br />
<br />
The new ride is incredible, and in addition to somehow linking the pictures to your Memory Maker account without having to claim it, they even put together a video of your ride each time!!! How cute is this!<br />

Everywhere we went today, all the "cast members" told Liv "Happy Birthday Princess". She's super confused at this point but totally eating it up!<br />
<br />
We visited Tom Sawyers Island for the first time for all of us, it was really cute! We also sat through the Caousel of Progress (by accident...SO boring!!) and road the People Mover before heading over for our final fast pass, Buzz Light Year's Space Ranger Spin. Always a favorite!<br />

At that point, we were all on our last leg. We headed for the hotel bus with plans to grab the van and go off-park for lunch. But, we didn't have it in us and ate at the hotel instead. Over $60 for a less than stellar lunch!! At this point, it was 3:45 and we'd NEVER received a text that our room was done!!! So, Dave called the front desk to get our room number. The kids and I got settled in the room and went down for a nap. But, Daves high school friend Jackie drove two hours down to see him, so, he headed back to the main building to visit with her before he too got some sleep.<br />
<br />
We woke-up and were off again! We made a run to Target for snacks and hit Steak 'n Shake for dinner, SO GOOD! We dumped everything off and caught the bus back to Magic Kingdom to meet up with Jackie and her family. We got to ride Under the Sea-Little Mermaid Voyage and Its a Small World. Jackie had stopped for a snack and texted that she had amazing seats for this crazy new light show on Cinderellas Castle. They use lights to totally transform the castle into all the other Disney castles. It was crazy cool. I didn't get any pictures unfortunately and we never made it back to watch it a second time unfortunately.<br />

That was enough for one day let me tell you!! So, we went back to the hotel for some well earned sleep!!<br />
<br />
I didn't pay that close to the weather each day, but, weather underground.com maintains the actual highs/lows, so, thought I'd add that to the end of each post too.<br />

(3/4)O.k., I should preface the next series of posts by saying I attempted to do the same as I did on our last vacation and document daily all the things we did. Unfortunately, there is a whole lot LESS down time on a Disney vacation than a Hawaii trip let me tell you!!! Fortunately, Dave does an awesome job keeping a log of everything we do. So, although he doesn't go into excessive detail like I do, he lists all the important stuff out and that allows me to fill-in the gaps in my memory! <br />
<br />
We got the Disney Memory Maker option again this time and I am so glad, I can't wait to share all of the photos with you. Last trip, the Memory Maker only gave you the pictures from the photographers posted around the parks, but, now they include those crazy fun snapshots of you screaming on the rides. You know, those pictures they take of you just when you go over those hills and see your life flash before your eyes...haha, who can live without those! ;O) So, here goes...<br />
<br />
Today we FINALLY got to tell the kids we were heading to Disney! We pulled Owen out of school mid-morning and had a whole scenario planned. I made the sign below, Dave taped it to the luggage in the closet, and I told the kids that I saw a mouse in the closet and to come look. Unfortunately, Owen didn't read the sign and I had to explain it anyway...time well spent!! ;O)<br />

The trip itself started off SO wrong. We hadn't had snow in over a month but, about the time I went to pick Owen up from school, a blizzard moved in. There was a 15-car pile up near Boniface that shut down the Glenn Highway which forced all of us to take Muldoon. I just recently started receiving texts from the Anchorage Police Department and the DOT, so, we had a heads-up over most people apparently. Most continued on when we exited and we heard later that even Muldoon had become a parking lot. On our alternative route, we still saw an 8-car pile-up blocking the on ramp from Tudor onto New Seward and a 3-car accident headed the opposite direction on Minnesota. Thankfully, we made it to the airport just a little behind schedule. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to stop and buy sandwiches for dinner like we'd planned.<br />
<br />
I hate to fly, I'm sick for days prior just at the thought of having to get on a plane, and I end up making it really miserable for everyone because I'm such a mess. This time, we got to the ticket counter and I couldn't find my wallet with my ID. I decided I left it in the truck and ran all the way back to the airport garage to find it. I looked everywhere but found nothing. I got to thinking and decided that I must have inadvertently packed it when I stuck the last minute stuff in the luggage. So, I ran all the way back to the ticket counter only to find out Dave had checked both suitcases already. I yelled that I'd packed my license, so, the poor counter girl took out running after the luggage. Thats when I found it in my carry on. What a mess! I was so embarrassed and felt so bad that I'd made such a scene. At that point, Dave headed out to take his truck to the office where he'd park and then get a ride back to the airport. The kids and I headed to security. We got almost to the front of the line when I realized we'd left Liv's backpack at the ticket counter. I told the kids to haul out and I took off running trying to duck under the ropes. In the process, I nearly pulled them all down because they caught on Liv's backpack still strapped on my back!!!! Oh my gosh!! It wasn't until I went to set everything down with the kids while they waited for me to sprint across the airport yet again that I realized the bag was on my back the whole time. Let me tell you, it is EXHAUSTING to be such a spaz!! Hahaha!<br />
<br />
After the chaos subsided, we did make it safely to the plane without any additional incidents. The girl at the ticket counter must have taken pity on the kids for having such a mess for a mother and gave them these cute luggage stickers. Man, these two were so over the moon excited.<br />

<br />
The flight to Seattle was pretty bumpy and both the take-off and the landing were rough. But, the best part of the flight was that Owen and I were super congested and I was worried we were coming down with the cold Liv had the week before. In addition, Dave seemed had what appeared to be random bug bites on his neck by the time we arrived in Seattle. As we were getting up to exit the plane, a woman in the row behind the kids and I commented to the one next to her that she didn't even know she had a cat he was so quiet...WHAT?!!??! The damn cat was under our seats the entire flight. No wonder we were all such a freaking mess. I was SO mad!!! I have always wondered why they allow animals on the flight and don't say anything to the other passengers considering all the allergy issues in the world. But, to not say anything to the people SITTING on top of the animal!! That seems ludicrous to me. Had I known, we could have all taken some Benadryl that I carry with me on planes for just this kind of situation. Unbelievable. Owen really struggled on the landing with his ears, partly because the cabin pressure was so bad, but, I'm sure due in most part to all the sinus drainage caused by the cat. <br />
<br />
On top of that, the flight left Anchorage 10 minutes and arrived almost 40 minutes late into Seattle, leaving no time to buy dinner. Plus, they made us stand in line for paper tickets at the gate, so, we had to take the time to deal with that before boarding as well. I couldn't figure out why that was necessary but, later learned that the connecting flight we were supposed to take had been abruptly cancelled just a day or two prior to our departure. That's part of the reason our layover was so short, I always schedule some extra down time between connections to avoid this kind of incident, especially from Anchorage to Seattle...that flight is always super early because of tail winds or super late because of headwinds. I don't know why that is, I haven't experienced such huge travel time swings on any other flight. <br />
<br />
I thought I heard the cat woman say she was traveling on to Orlando as well, but, she either wasn't on our next flight or sat far enough away that we didn't have any continuing issues. However, the flight to Orlando was even bumpier than the last and it was considered a "late" flight with only snack-packs no real food available for purchase. We were STARVING!!! I'd brought quite a few snacks, but, nothing with any staying power. So, between the hunger, being wound up about the trip, and the starvation, none of us could fall asleep. It was a LOOONG flight/night!!! Although, these pictures tell a different story, haha. The kids did finally fall asleep for a very short time right before we landed. Olivia woke up a million times though freaking out that she wanted to stretch out and she'd kick anything that was in her way...you know like Owen on one side and me on the other. She also was yelling that the seat belt was hurting her belly...not possible since I had it so loose around her, she could have crawled out of it. I think she was really still asleep, but, she was just a psycho!!<br />

<br />
We are postponing Thanksgiving until tomorrow this year so that Shawn can spend Turkey Day with her in-laws. But, that gives us time to cook thankfully, especially since both Dave and I had to work all day yesterday.<br />

We typically go do Black Friday shopping after the crazy people go home, around 8am, and then afterwards, visit Santa for pictures with the kids. However, since we adjusted Thanksgiving, we will probably need to do some cooking tomorrow morning instead, so, we decided to make a run for the mall last night. The grocery stores were insane yesterday (I know, I forgot pumpkin!!), but, the mall was practically empty! So, no lines...which is why we typically do the pictures on Black Friday...everyone else is preoccupied and forgets about the jolly man...<br />

These are actually pictures of the Halloween Carnival at Owen's school the week before Halloween. The kids opted to wear different costumes on actual Halloween night. I only got a phone picture of that, so, I will add that later when I'm more ambitious.</div>

Owen opted to do his own design...he opted for a bat (I know, its an impressive owl...but, not what he was aiming for). He and Dave both used the Dremel tool to thin out the top so the design glows through instead of completely cutting into the pumpkin. They looked great!<br />

And Ollie was in the way, so, I took a picture of him...We might have some wishful thinking, but, we are wondering if his eyesight issues might have been due to malnutrition and that he's getting at least a little of it back. Again, not sure that's true, but, we think we are seeing some improvements. The vet swears he probably can't see at all out of the all blue eye and you can see the pupil is weird. But, it moves with the other and he'll blink if you move your hand towards it, so, we just aren't sure what to think.<br />

I edited these forever ago and I guess I never posted them!! These are mostly of Liv at her soccer practice. This is the first year she played. I think she was about the youngest on the team and although she loved the drills, she just wasn't able to hang in when they did the scrimmages. So, she got a little discouraged. But, she stuck out the whole season! I think with as disorganized this group was, we will wait until she's 5 to try again.</div>

As usual, time has gotten away from me. I've taken a few photos here and there, but, not many. I have finally had time to play with some of them though and thought Id share what I've got. </div>

Shawn got the girls these Wonderwoman outfits and wanted action shots with them. We did these on an overcast day and I didn't have my lights up and running. So, they aren't what I wanted...I also know now how they should pose. I'm hoping to try one more time, but, thought these were fun regardless.</div>

Owen had to have retakes done because he was super sick the first round. The photography company is a pain in the butt to deal with and ended up putting the wrong background on the retakes. I was going to call and make them resend. But, decided to just extract him myself and do my own background. I actually like mine better than theirs anyway. </div>

In trying to get Owen's pictures just right, I learned some new techniques and it made me think of Liv's first Easter pictures. I had tried using a green screen behind her and it was so bright, her whole body just glowed green. But, with the techniques I learned on Owen's photo, I went back and edited one of hers. There's several others I'd like to work on, but started with this one. I can still see a bit of glow on the white parts, I'll have to keep researching for these more extreme photos. But, I'm MUCH happier with this picture. I think she was around 2 weeks in the picture, she was such a crabby little thing!!</div>

Owen started 3rd grade this year!! It just kills me to see him grow up so fast. I'm so very proud of him and am hoping he has an even better year than last year. Kindergarten and first grade were rough, but, he made huge strides last year in the confidence department and I really hope he surrounds himself with positive kids this year. Honestly though, the pickings are limited. I don't know if it's the school or the area or if we just got spoiled by the kids in his montessori class. But, I can see why it's hard for Owen to make friends, these kids are so disrespectful and mean, Owen just can't relate to them at all.</div>

Hopefully, Dave's got a few on his phone. <br />
<br />
We took a quick trip up to Hatcher Pass and Owen decided to climb up a path we'd never taken before to the very top of the mine. I figured the path couldn't possibly go all the way and decided to let him go to the end. Much to my surprise...it didn't end!! We went all of the way to the top, much higher than I had anticipated, and the trail got so steep, Owen and I had to go down most of it on our rear ends because it was such loose gravel. Dave did much better than us however!!<br />

To give some perspective, here's Diana and Anthony before the "steep" part...Liv even walked up this far, but, bailed about a 1/3 of the way up the "steep" part and Dave had to take her back down to his parents. </div>

Here's Dave and Owen at the very top. I do have to say though, it was worthwhile to go up because on the way down, we saw a couple Collard Pika gathering greens for the winter...they are a small animal related to rabbits that look like chinchillas without a tail. They are super cute and I'd never even heard of them before! Dave wanted me to take a picture, but, the one we saw up close happened to be when I was in an especially percarious position. So, picture taking wasn't exactly my top priority!! </div>

We got to meet new cousin Elizabeth in July too!! The kids were over the moon. Owen was so disappointed when he found out that a "baby shower" does not have anything to do with the baby at all. He thought all along thats when that kid would make an appearance!! I'm not sure why the confusion given the fact that he's been through this before, but, it cracked me up. It was a LOOOONG wait though I can tell you from the baby shower to the actual delivery date for him! </div>

I stayed at the hospital the first night so that Trevor could get some rest. Shawn had to stay in the hospital three days, so, they had a long haul. This is how Miss Elizabeth looked most of the night...which was good because when I first met her, I thought maybe I need one of my own...but, by morning, I was good with just being the auntie! Hahahaha! <br />

Clearly, I messed with this picture too much. I liked how proud Owen looked when he got to hold the baby for the first time, but, wanted the background gone. So, I subbed in my own. But, I just don't love it, not sure how to make it better though. Still a sweet picture.</div>

All of these pictures I take make me realize how much Owen wears his heart on his sleeve. Theres never a picture that you can't tell exactly what this kid is thinking. I get credit for taking such great pictures that capture so much emotion, but, it's really all him. I just love that about him.<br />

Liv's a lot like that too, but, she's not quite as sensitive as Owen so, it doesn't typically show through as transparently in her pictures. But, this was an exception, could she look any prouder to be a big cousin? She was SO glad to get a girl!!<br />

I messed with this one too much too. I especially liked the kiss, but, it was kind of blurry. So, I had fun trying to fix it...content is still good...but, I need to work on my artistic skills some more! ;O)<br />

I'm obsessed with pictures of my grandmother and the kids. I think it's because every day with her is a gift at this point. I guess its also because I know from experience with Dave's Granny that unfortunately, sometimes, all you get with a loved one is a photo. <br />
<br />
I wish I'd focused on Elizabeth in this picture, but, I like the look on my grandmother's face.<br />

We went out to Mark and Lynne's cabin with Geoff and Jenna on the 4th of July again this year. They have a new blow up raft like thing that they have tied to the dock. It was SO cold on the 4th, I was shocked the kids would even go in the water. They were like popsicles every time they got out. But, they had a blast. The next day was in the 80s as our luck would have it!!<br />

It's not a visit to the cabin without a jet ski ride!! This year Jared took Owen for a spin, but, he drives faster than Geoff, so, Owen wasn't quite sure what to think of it!<br />

Olivia has a tantrum that cannot be outdone by anyone on this planet. I'm not sure if I asked her to come in on this particular day or if I was trying to make dinner and she wanted someone to go outside and play with her. It's especially hard on her that her brother has friends to play with in the neighborhood and she doesn't, or at least, she can't go by herself to play with them like he can.<br />

Dave's been doing an amazing job with all of his woodworking. He made this work bench you see in the picture and was building himself a bow and arrow rack to hang his and the kids bows from the garage ceiling. Of course, the secret to his success is obviously his little supervisor...<br />

For whatever reason, the different cable channels run the movie "Hitch" with Will Smith and Kevin James quite a bit. Owen especially loves the dance scene with the two guys and the song "Yeah" by Usher. Here he is Owen's version of the dance with Liv as a back-up dancer:<br />

There's a new gym in Eagle River that specializes in Ninja Warrior training. For anyone that doesn't know, Ninja Warrior is a game show on t.v. that originated in Japan where the contestants have to run through these crazy difficult obstacles to conquer the ultimate obstacle, Mount Midoriyama. The obstacles are insanely physical and are typically best suited for rock climbers with strong grips and upper body strength and parkour athletes that are used to doing things with their bodies that normal people would consider physically impossible. The gym has all kinds of ninja warrior inspired obstacles, as well as a foam pit, and the infamous 14' warp wall. They had a camp for kids during the summer where they worked on cartwheels, flips, somersaults, and even the obstacles. Here's Liv and Owen with Melanie's kids, Hayden and Kaylee.</div>

This is a totally random picture I took when Liv was being uncooperative, but, I like how you can see how curly her hair is and the pony tail she's been rocking since her hair is just long enough now! Her Aunt Lori calls it "her splash"...like a splash of water, makes sense to me! ;O)</div>

Owen always has an end of the year picnic, but, I never think to take pictures. This year I managed to take a couple at least with him and some of his goofy friends. The one in the very middle is our neighbor, Max. He's a year older than Owen, but, the two get along really well and play every chance they can get.<br />

This is just a random video, that I took because I thought it was too funny to let it go uncaptured. Dave was looking through the Cabela's magazine and Olivia got all riled up about "needing" a pink gun, that she couldn't shoot anything else. She's the biggest drama queen I've ever met. You can tell how well it works on us...Dave just totally ignores her, hahaha.</div>

So, as I mentioned in my last Hawaii post, the only thing that made leaving that tropical paradise possible was the fact that spring had already sprung at home. We left with visions of riding our bikes outside and for the first time ever, doing an Easter egg hunt on the lawn...unfortunately, we got home and woke up the next morning to this...SO glad the Easter Bunny opted NOT to put the eggs outside the night before!!! This was totally disheartening and depressing to look at...hardly any snow all winter and it decides to snow our first day back in town...ON Easter no less!<br />

It was only a week or so after we got home that the snow was completely gone for good. Although it was still pretty cold, we got in some outdoor time...<br />
