fladogfan aka Gretchen

Great updates! Your pictures are great. But I think that somewhere along the way I have missed the story about the kitten.

Check out Camping With Pets section. Lou was looking for a home for a kitten. And looks like he got it..the good home, that is.

Just joined this TR..what a fun time, kids so pretty and kind to each other (ok i know they aren't ALWAYS that way ) Yep Rover cough up the $$$, auto train is worth it (did you know the metalic numbers won't 'stick' to Saturns? The driver had to hold it out the window :rofl2:

or was it from a big forest fire?

SO glad your keys are found...what a relief for you. :) :) :)

"Poor Walt is tumbling in his grave, like he's in a clothes dryer."

That line jumped out at me too. So many things at WDW would make Walt spin

:rofl3: :rofl2: Your Snarkiness is wonderful, laughed all the way through the little green leaves ( would have been in a :panic: if they had been on me) so disgusting but your telling so :rofl2: :rofl2:

Made DH listen to me read your discription of the Yeti ride, of course he did want to know what i was snickering about over here in the corner.

more :rofl2: :rofl3: :rofl2:

Did you go backward? I'll have to ride it again, see if I get same reaction as Mrs. T. Liked the random pics...cool!

Thanks for the warning about the stinky feet cheese!

Never saw the all girl drummers at Japan. Love the drums, one of favorite things at Epcot.

Munchkins rule!

OK, up to page 3 will be back......tomorrow...for more fun!

And yes, TCD, you are correct Walt would not have approved that 4 seasons hotel

Finally caught up...ha! that crook is in trouble now...stealing from the mouse...what was he thinking?

When I'm walking around any camp ground I'm amazed that so much stuff is left out for the picking up by thieves.

But thought, same as you, campers don't do that to each other.

Well, hope this non-camper spends time with the state.

Lots of time!!

I like it, especially the sunrises. Any more pics?

I'm in, but just, will hit page 2 tonight ... now work calls, rather stay home and read.

Baby adorable, good fix on seats and yes boys are soooo lucky.

and that you can drive it!!

Gretchen -

I asked for advise on the budget board "over there" on how to earn some extra cash, since we were going to be on a tight budget. Some people gave good advice, like get a paper route. Others berated me for being such a bad mom, taking the kids to WDW and only taking them to one park, not letting them buy all the souveniers they want, and making them stay in a tent instead of a nice hotel. As you can see, my kids had a great time inspite of all the "hardships" they had to endure.

Well they are nuts! So glad I found you guys after the flush...fiends rule!

Thanks Dave, I had so much fun on your cruise!

Good luck with the new roof and be careful. We'll be here waiting when you get back

I'm in.

Love the Harry Potter books! Couldn't ride the HP ride because back was bad, but it's better now, so next time I'm going!!

Only complaint about HP area is lack of places to sit for aching or tired or just waiting people.

VIP Cabin woo hoo!!

That would be so cool to see Carol.

Wonderful find on the room, Rita. Looks really nice. Agree with pood forn pics, makes me want to go out to eat and we just finished supper.

Waffle House means pecan waffle, WELL DONE! And some country ham.

:rofl2: but saying that, I like AK especially on a very cold (yes we do get them once in a while) wet day...then I go watch the tigers up and about.

Hot weather they are cats, they sleep!

Will have to try the yeti ride in the dark, good idea. Wait a minute, doesn't AK close at dusk?

I can relate to the pork roast/turkey leg...more than once we end up eating what defroze and not what I had planned for supper :rofl2:

Anyway loved this TR, so much done, so many fiends met and all the food consumed... :jumpforjoy oops musn't forget the :clint:

And yes, your reporting style is fun :rofl3:

Lil Lou is not a baby anymore...he's even past toddlerhood.

What a beautiful guy he is.

Wondering when he is grown if he will be your largest cat? Those red/orange cats can get BIG.

His eyes look like they are turning a nice shade of gold.

You who are allergic to cats might try washing them on a regular basis if you really want to have cats. It's not as scary as it sounds

It's the dried saliva on the cat's fur that we humans are supposedly alergic to. I am not allergic to the cats living with me but if I get scratched or bitten by another cat, the spot better be washed very well and soon or it will swell up and itch like crazy.

And to those of you who "don't like cats" you just haven't met the right cat YET! Same goes for dog dislikers too.

Lou, momma cat is a blue/cream calico and yes, she is beautiful! No wonder her kittens are so pretty.

I AM NOT looking forward to the green goo story... blah

Your girls are adorable. It looks like they had a great time.

My favorite is the girls bouncing with Tigger! :jumpforjoy

Ya me too and the apple pie :drool1: .....the queeziness could be a delayed reaction to R&R coaster and ToT is innocent :rofl2:

Oh boy I know what I'd be doing. Huskey Homestead tour is a must, it's Jeff King's home place. Jeff won the Iditarod 4 times 1993,1996,1998 and 2006.

Then up near Fairbanks there are more kennels, among them is Lance Mackey's, he won the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod in 2007 and 2008. They are both 1000 mile races, only a few weeks apart. Then he also won the Iditarod again in 2009 and 2010! Yep 4 times in 4 years :) And in Fairbanks check out the Yukon Quest headquarters, American side. That race goes between Fairbanks, AK USA and Whitehorse, YT, Canada. Think it ends in FB this coming year, the cities take turns.

Oops is this a hi-jack?

First time for me also...loved that you made a budget and stayed in it. Why would anyone give grief to someone trying to make and stay in a budget?
