vacamper 6 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Finishing up Christmas Eve.......We went to the campfire sing a longmarshmellows of courseTook in more decorations including Daves castle which blew us away. (wish i had a good pic but im not a photographer, my pic is black..lol)Then we headed to the camper to make preacher cookies for santa, we even had to spread some oats out for the reindeer. (8 individual piles per my 5 year olds request)YAY! Christmas Day with Fiends. We started the morning off with no water due to the water main busting in the 300 loop. Luckily i had finished my cooking before we lost water. We had a lovely lunch with Frank, Denise ,Dave & their girls. Daves girls and mine had the best time doing the scavenger hunt at the fort. They would've finished much quicker had they come to the experts. ;DThere was also some puppy love on Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Lisa 53 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 What is in a "preacher cookie"? Those look really nummy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vacamper 6 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 2 cups sugar, 1 stick butter, 1/2 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 tsp. vanilla & 3 cups oats (minute not old fashioned)mix sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Bring to a boil and cook 2 mins. stir constantly. remove from heat add peanut butter & vanilla. stir until pb is melted then add oats. drop by teaspoons on wax paper and cool. i sometimes cut the oats back if i need to, no need for dry cookies. occasionally i make them with whipping cream instead of milk. extra creamy.

vacamper 6 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Finally time for the parks. It was cold, soooooo cold! You want to see just how cold? Have you ever seen the MK so empty? This picture was taken about 30/45 mins. after rope drop. It worked out for us since we don't mind the cold, we weren't complaining about hoping on and off rides.This is our favorite sign from it's a small world. I don't know why but each day we leave a park we feel the need to yell MY ASS A LAMA! Don't know why but it makes us chuckle.I just love the castle at Chirstmas!

Lil Lisa 53 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Wow! That is really empty! You can tell how cold it is from that first picture. It looks downright dreary. It is so weird to see people all bundled up in Florida. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vacamper 6 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Epcot - This was probably the most crowded park we saw all week. Our older girls spent the entire day doing the Kim Possible Missions around the world. I spent the day drinking Hot Chocolate to try and stay warm.....another cold day in florida.After we finished epcot we hopped a monarail over to the grand floridian for a peek of the gingerbread house. Laura of course had to purchase a solid chocolate mickey head.The next morning we spent the day just hanging around the fort, our favorite thing to do. After that it was off to the Yachtsmens Steakhouse for DD15's birthday dinner. A bit to fancy and overpriced for us but we had the absolute best waiter (oscar) ever. He made our dinner worth every penny.Laura enjoyed painting her dessert, I had the mango cheesecake it was good but $10 for a tablespoon size bite was a bit much. As my granny would say "that was just enough to make me mad"...lol. I wanted more it was good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Lisa 53 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 That food looks delicious! I think we are definitly going to try the Yachtsmens Steakhouse when we are there this year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vacamper 6 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I will say their onion rolls were the bomb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 That food does look good...but why is it that the fancier and more expensive food is, the less you get? :)And WOW it does look cold in those MK pics! :) But I agree, I'd put up with the cold for an empty park.
