lklasing 16 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 You still there, Liv? Hope all is well with you - I know how busy life can get but I'd still love to hear about the rest of your trip! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liv luvs disney 2 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 It's been so long since our trip. It's a good thing Lance took a lot of pictures. It helps my memory...sort of.It seems I left off with not feeling so well, but having no problem downing ice cream. According to our pics, TT was next up.I stood in line with my family, but wound up not riding. I just wasn't up to it.Lance's dream car.IIRC, the price tag on that cat was over $60,000! :o That is one dream that will for sure NEVER come true! The boys set off for MS while Gretchy and I hung out in the shade.I was past done at that point. Our plans were to go back to the camper and come back later to finish up EPCOT.Gretchy swore this was a hidden Mickey.As soon as we stepped off the bus, I hurried to the camper to start the finishing touches on supper. The rest of the family took their time getting back to the camper, taking time to stop and smell the roses. Okay, more like taking time to stop and take some pics of deer...since we NEVER see any of those at home. :rofl3:The boys went to play b-ball again, Gretchy watched Disney channel and I rested. :whew:Soon enough it was time to eat.After dinner, our plans were to take a bike ride over to WL and go back to EPCOT to "finish" our day. However, on our way out of the 1700 loop, we heard a noise. It was an owl. Lance really wanted to get some pictures. It wound up being 2 owls and Lance took over 100 pictures...of something we see all the time at home. But, like the "r" bug, Disney animals are special and very picture worthy...I guess. I'll spare you MOST of the pictures.Just to let you know, I exaggerated on the # of owl pics. There were only 30. There is no telling how many were deleted though. ;D The owl time-out took a huge chunk of our time. The boys took so long doing this, Gretchy wound up going back to the camper and locking herself inside.So, it was just the boys and me on the WL trail and it was getting dark. Not much to report or post. Most of the pics Lance took are not post worthy. Note to self...when Lance has the camera, stay behind him, not in front of him! I'll be selective in what I post.You can only imagine what I'm saying. :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

we3peas 12 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Good job on the owl pictures. We heard them but ended up only getting a picture of a red shouldered hawk (which live in our backyard-rather have the owl). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heidi-meetsTCD@TSM 5 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Great update!Awesome pictures of the owls! I have never seen owls at the fort before.Our family LOVES the bike path between the fort and the lodge. On days that we are just hanging around the fort, we'll do that ride at least 2-3 times a day. Its one of my most favorite places on Disney property. it is always so quiet and peaceful. You can hear the train whistle from the Magic Kingdom and of course the horns from the boats. I always have that happy feeling when we are biking along on that path. Well, actually, I have that happy feeling whenever I am at the fort!!!Sorry your still lagging from the race. Back when I was racing (the most I ever did was 5 milers, no marathons for me!!!) I never felt well for the rest of the day. I hated it, but it didnt stop me from running another one the next weekend!!!Looking forward to more!Heidi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MicknMin...Holly 54 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Whoo hoo!!! Liv is back! I love the deer and owl pictures. Any time your kids want to see deer, just head down my way. We always have deer in the back yard. Of course that's probably because we put feed out there for them year-round. We love watching them.

lklasing 16 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yay - glad for an update! From someone who does not get to see wildlife at home, other than one lazy dog, 3 hamsters and a bunch of fish, I'm very happy to see your deer and owl pictures! Sorry you were feeling puny - hope you were able to recover and enjoy the rest of the trip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liv luvs disney 2 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 He hurried up and went to bed first so he wouldn't have to. :rofl2:Just make sure he makes an appointment with the chiropractor to get the kink in his back, that he got from bending over to kiss up to you, worked out.He won't need an appointment. I'll crack his back for him! "WHACK!" :rofl2:I hope this has all been resolved. KFK, you know we ain't suppose to hold grudges and such. I sure hope you and H have kissed an made up since this incident. :rofl3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liv luvs disney 2 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 The photos of Gretchen with Daisy are adorable!I also love the ice cream shots. Y'all certainly did learn a lot at that health eating class!TCDGretch is such a sweetheart. She definitely does NOT get that from me. I hope she stays sweet!I do seem to recall the healthy eating class saying something about ice cream. Oooh Liv, sorry about your stomach. It stinks to feel sick when you're at WDW. Please tell me the ice cream made you feel better. I like to think that because Disney is such a magical place, even fried foods & ice cream are healthy!I especially like the bit of ice cream that you were saving for later. The ice cream did make me feel better...at least while I was eating it! Looks to me like everyone is having a wonderful time. Great family vacation, making great family memories. :)It was a great family vacation!I enjoy the golf ball ride well enough, but can't stand listening to that Damn Judy Dench. I mean Dame. Really.

liv luvs disney 2 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 If it makes you feel any better, I get sick on Soarin' too! It actually makes me feel off balance for a while afterward. There are so many rides at WDW that I don't even bother with because I get sick on them, but I still love to be there soaking up the atmosphere of the parks.We should form a society. I can't ride a lot of the rides either. Rides have always made me queasy. Just ask my childhood BF about the grape slushie I threw up all over her on a ride at the fair. We were about 10 years old. I knew not to ride that dang ride, but there was a boy I was sweet on who was riding it. I wonder what ever happened to him? :laugh: That BF is STILL my BF though!!One word: ADORABLE!!!!!Yes, I think my kids are adorable too, but I realize I'm biased. I happen to think your boys are ADORABLE as well! That Ice cream looks bigger than your head!I think it was before I got a hold of it!But not bigger than THE BEAST! :rofl3:Only before the beast is tamed.I didn't know Beauty and THE BEAST was one person :rofl2:Is that a compliment? If so, thanks. If not, :raspberry:.You still there, Liv? Hope all is well with you - I know how busy life can get but I'd still love to hear about the rest of your trip! :DI think I updated just after you posted this!Lance is having his gallbladder removed next Tuesday and hopefully I'll have some "down" time to finish this thing up. If not, I may have to combine it with my next trip! :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liv luvs disney 2 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Great update Liv!!!!Thanks Carol!Thank goodness you're back. I thought sure you'd vanished! :eek:Great update....No vanishing act...just life. Good job on the owl pictures. We heard them but ended up only getting a picture of a red shouldered hawk (which live in our backyard-rather have the owl).We have a family of screech owls that mate in our back yard every year. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE little boogers! We don't get to see BIG owls very often, so these were a little different. While I love any bird of prey, any time I see one in our yard, I wonder what they are after. :-\I agree that it does look like a mickey head that was stepped on an peed itself.Now that there was funny! :rofl2:I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE SAID. I'M SURE IT WASN'T FOUL SO GO AHEAD AND TAKE A BOW. :rofl3:It wasn't foul, but it was a threat about any more pictures of my back side!(It didn't do any good. :rofl3: )Tell Lance I love the owl pics!Please don't encourage him!

liv luvs disney 2 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 When we got back to the camper from our quick trip to WL, my precious Gretchen had gone through some paper work and was happy to inform us that MK was having EMH that night! Seriously, I wanted to fall over and cry. I was so tired. But I did what any decent parent would do. I went.On our way to the boat.A sweet site.The flag was driving me crazy.I had to fix it.Much better.Wishes was going on on our ride over.We even got to see some of the EWP.

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Having handled Great Horned Owls in a Wildlife Sanctuary, I know exactly what they are doing ... they are preening each others's feathers. We had a permanent one (he was blind) that we used for educational talks at schools, etc. He loved for me to preen around his ears! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
