How Could This Be?

UPDATE!!!!

We're heading to Disney World again this weekend. WOOHOO!

My daughter wanted to go for her 16th b'day. And since we just dropped a wad o dough going for our family annual trek in December...we had to tell her I'm sorry but someplace else will have to do. Even with our FL resident discounts....five tickets? Well, we had to say No. We did offer Busch Gardens as they have the ticket that's buy now (50.00) and includes the rest of the year for no additional cost. But it's no Disney. (it's fun living near the tourist joints, but not IN the same vicinity)

Well....................

My oldest son has a friend that works for Disney. My son mentioned if his little sister wanted to go to Disney for her 16th bday..then By Gosh he was taking her! <smile> His friend said..are you kidding me, you're buying tickets for you two? I have 54 passes available and I'm getting your whole family in for free on Saturday morning. (Park Hopper between all the parks, too)

So we're off to Disney, Epcot, MGM (not Animal Kingdom we're not fans) for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 9:00am till 10:00pm.

Think this ole gal can do three parks in one day? I did it once before 2 years ago. A customer bartered with me for an ebay purchase. She used her Disney Employee free passes for the family. I was walking dead..so tired. But it was worth it!

What better date for her 16th birthday celebration than Mickey Mouse!

Thanks for the celebratory Happy Birthday Wish emails for Hannah. She smiled.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho,
Donna

Aw, you need to place a warning label on posts like that one. Ya, got me going all teary eyed. My son turns 12 in February. I can't believe it. Sometimes, I wish I could freeze time.

Have fun at Disney!

Did you freeze at Disney?

We were going to Busch Gardens for my son's 6th birthday but went to Chuck E Cheese instead where we were inside and warm. I bought the FL Fun Passes to BG so we can go anytime, no need to freeze in the sunshine state if ya don't have to

I can well remember that 12 years old stage.

Busy, Busy, Busy. We were all blurs. Three children going three different ways and Momma trying to keep up!

Yes, wouldn't it be nice to freeze time? I miss the younger years with them and would go back in a heartbeat to sandboxes, afternoons in the park, snuggles before bed while reading them their books and oh gosh..so much more.

Enjoy it Magie..because you'll blink and they'll be all grown up.

Peace,
Donna

Warm and Steamy is no description for Florida on Saturday! <smile> Nor today either!

Cold I can handle..it was the WIND! OMG!

We started out at MGM (love that Aerosmith ride, Muppets and Tower of Terror), then to Epcot (only for the country Japan for my daughter) and then D'World around 3:00pm. That park was open until 10:00 and you'd think the three children would be able to handle staying till that time..even if the old fogie parents couldn't. (We were willing to just sit in a cafe and let the three chilren have a go at the park. My two oldest "petered" out around seven o'clock and said they wanted to go home. (thank goodness it's only 45 minutes from home) My Sweet Potato Princess Hannah had the stamina to outlast us all and we saw the Princess Show in front of the castle and then vamoosed outta there.

Once the sun went down the temperature dropped majorly fast to the 40s and well, my blood is so thin being a Floridian and it was cold as all get out.<smile>

Is there a word that can describe Dead Dawg Tired? I don't think so! <smile> We survived and are going back to just D'World in the spring as a family.

I loved Chuck E. Cheese when the children were little. The group of stay at home Mom's and Dad's would meet there with our children about once a month and let the kids have a good time while we hung out together. Priceless!

Busch Gardens is great! We love it! As a matter of fact, I'm trying to talk hubster into getting some passes for just the two of us this year. I love that place!

Glad your sweet son had a great day!

Peace, Donna

It seems like I just had her older brother whose 22...it's amazing to me how fast the time has gone by.

You blink your eyes and that sweet bundle of joy of yours will be sprouting wings and moving onto so much more than you could have ever imagined!

It's a long and rewarding road. One road that I feel shouldn't be missed...no detours around..just a wonderful journey!

Blessings to you and your sweet daughter!
Donna

I love a "blokes point of view."

28? Your son?

Say it isn't so. <smile>

As you said, it seems just like yesterday that we were 28 ourselves.

How proud you must be of all your son has accomplished!

Blessings to you and yours,
Donna
