Disney day 2

November 13, 2019

Our second day at Disney brought the best treat – a VIP tour guide!! We had a tour guide taking us around Hollywood Studios for the day and getting us onto any ride we wanted with no line! Yes, it was just as awesome as it sounds!!

Ready for a fun day!

Our tour guide, Carey, picked us up and took us to the back entrance to Hollywood Studios where we were greeted by snacks! Can’t beat that!

We then got to do it all that day. We rode Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster over and over and over again! We went on all the rides in Toy Story Land and even got to walk onto the brand new ride in Star Wars land! So so awesome!!

Disney!

November 12, 2019

In October, we all took a little trip down to Orlando for several days of Disney fun to celebrate Spencer’s birthday! With many thanks to GJ and Daddo, we had some excellent perks and probably one of the very best trips ever! We flew down on Thursday morning and we were ready to go…

That afternoon we went into the park for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. It’s fun because they have trick-or-treating stations setup all over the parks and the crowds are smaller so you can ride more rides. Plus, lots of people dress up and the people watching is prime time!! ha!

Before we had left, I had measured Samantha and knew she was about 2 inches shy of being 44 inches…44 inches gets you on Space Mountain, Everest, and Avatar Flight of Passage. Knowing my daredevil roller coaster rider, I knew she’d be so disappointed if she barely missed the height cut off. So, I went out and found the tallest tennis shoes I could find – some Nike Air Max – and then also added a few Dr. Scholl’s gel inserts to the inside! She might have been walking on stilettos but…

She made it on Space Mountain! Woohoo! They measured her twice and she passed easily both times! Hooray!

Needless to say, she loved it! It was the boys first time to ride it too and it was a hit all around! We continued the day with as many of the good rides as we could get on including The Haunted Mansion, Barnstormer, and Big Thunder Mountain.

A great start to a great trip!

Roll Tide for Maxwell!

September 10, 2019

In lieu of a birthday party this year, Maxwell asked to take a few friends to a Bama game. With huge thanks to Uncle Ronnie, not only did he get to take a few friends but we all got to go and got to sit in a box! Considering it was approximately 250 degrees that day, we were all incredibly thankful to be in that air conditioned box! Spencer got to take a friend too so there were 9 of us total – enough to rent a van!

Our crew was outfitted in their Crimson and White and ready for a fun day!

The actual temp on our drive down. Insane.

It was a hot walk to our seats!

But the walk was sure worth it because our seats were awesome!

Alabama was playing New Mexico State and ended up beating them 62 to 10. Not much of a game to watch but that didn’t bother this crew one bit! They had plenty of fun making mischief around the box and watching the game occasionally but mostly drinking Cokes and eating ice cream!
