I Am NOT a Bad, Bad Baby -- TR final updates 9/12

[KatMark]

I believe that the Epcot day is the day that those pretty little girls spied my cute little, make that tall, boy at Starbucks.

Yes it is; and why the heck didn't we get a picture?

I'm so very sorry to hear about the medical issues that Alisha has been having. As you know, my sister in law was treated at Mayo and they couldn't have been more pleased with the care that they were given. I'll pray my very hardest that the doctors/specialist will be able to pinpoint the problem and come up with a plan of action to get her healthy again. You know how to reach me should you need anything or just to talk.

My boss has been going to Mayo annually for years and has nothing but the highest praise for the place. I am sure they will get to the bottom of this. Thank you, Lisa.

I will keep you Daughter in Law in my thoughts! I am glad that she is getting the helps she needs.

Thank you...I appreciate it.

Wow it looks like you had a great weekend!

We had a lot of fun.

Fingers crossed that Alisha gets some answers and some relief.

Thanks, Jill...truly appreciate.

Looks like a great weekend!

Jill in CO

We had a lot of fun with the kids and seeing friends we'venot seen ina year.

So sorry to hear about your daughter-in-law. I will pray for her!

Thank you very much.

It sounds like ya'll had a great time at the get together. $500 win...not too shabby at all! WooHoo!

He was very pleased with himself. He'd missed the last two years, but had won the two prior to that. As we were leaving, Coach yelled to him he wasn't invited next year.

Shopping sounded like fun. I see you went to Charming Charlie's. My mother thinks that is the most dangerous shopping place ever. I took her there on Mother's Day and told her to pick out some earrings. Then told her to get another and another. She was like a kid in a candy store.

Charming Charlie's can be addictive. The prices are great; they have some really great stuff (I'm a sucker for their scarves). I can certainly see how your mother feels that way.

We had just finished riding Figment and it was time to move on. But where? Our next FP+ wasn’t good for a bit yet. Cayley and Avery had an idea…let’s go rob a bank. So we headed here:



Ooops…guess I misunderstood. We were going to play with a bank.















We finished with the Piggy Adventure and went here since there was no line

















We finished Spaceship Earth and it was time for our next FP+ selection:










We had a great flight as always.

(Continued in next post)

 

[KatMark]

Since we were already there, we decided to visit The Land















After The Land, we decided to head over to Mouse Gears…not sure what we were looking for…or just trying to get in the air conditioning for a moment. We did stop at Starbucks on the way for coffee and ran into Lisa, John and Hunter again (mickeystoontown). I am really mad that we didn’t take any pictures, but we did get to visit for a bit more. They gave me grief because I scanned for my coffee and obviously I was out of funds and Mary had to pay for my drink. Oops!

I took a photo of these when we got to Mouse Gears for all the Vera Bradley loving people.





Must take a fountain picture or two









Continued in next post

 

[KatMark]

After visiting Mouse Gears we started walking towards our lunch ADR, planning to stop for an attraction on the way. As we were headed in our direction, we spotted these guys:



















After a great visit with Chip and Dale, we arrived at our destination


(this picture taken for Mr. Mark because his Mine Mine’s are in the photo)

We still had a bit of time to kill, so the kids went and played by the aquariums by the sea.







Up next, it’s lunch time

Kathy I am sorry I was so far behind!

I'll be keeping Alisha in my thoughts. I've only heard wonderful things about the care at Mayo.

Love the update! I go to Mousegears "just because" several times per trip. And I rarely leave empty handed!

Love the Chip and Dale pics. When I saw the first one I thought "what are Chip and Dale wearing?" then I realized they were wearing little girls

 

[Clarf]

Oh, sorry to hear about your daughter in law. I will keep her in my thoughts.

You are right about the food at Ed Debevic's. It's not great, but the entertainment is!

Fun Epcot day. Looks like you are getting a lot done. I want to try that piggy bank game with my girls next week!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

My boss is back after 2-1/2 month vacation so it's been hectic at work this week.

Quick! Everybody look busy!

Before I post a few pictures from this past weekend, I need to ask you all for some prayers. On Friday, October 10, Alisha, our beautiful daughter-in-law, will be going to the Mayo Clinic for a visit. She will see a general practice doctor for some blood work, blood pressure, etc.,, and then discussing the medical records we sent them. From there, they will send her to one or two specialists while there. She has been having major stomach issues and severe joint pain and no one has been able to come up with a diagnosis. It broke my heart this weekend to see how much pain she was in.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying she gets some answers and relief soon.

Cayley and Avery had an idea…let’s go rob a bank. So we headed here:


Ooops…guess I misunderstood. We were going to play with a bank.

Eh, close enough.

We did stop at Starbucks on the way for coffee and ran into Lisa, John and Hunter again (mickeystoontown). I am really mad that we didn’t take any pictures, but we did get to visit for a bit more. They gave me grief because I scanned for my coffee and obviously I was out of funds and Mary had to pay for my drink. Oops!

Seriously? You don't have a tab there at this point? Glad you got to see Lisa and family again.

I took a photo of these when we got to Mouse Gears for all the Vera Bradley loving people.

Don't show these to my wife.

 

[Disney9.9.10]

I'm so sorry to hear about Alisha. I hope that they find a cause for her pain so that she can get back to feeling well. As much as nobody wants a diagnosis, it is nice to have one so that you know how to proceed with treating it.

What a great time you had robbing that bank I'm always amazed by how many things I haven't done at WDW, and people wonder why I have to keep going back!

I love your pictures with Chip and Dale, everyone looks so happy!!

 

[dizneeat]

First off, so sorry to hear about Alisha. I hope they figure out what's wrong soon and she gets better soon.

As for the TR:
What a fun day at Epcot, you went on so many of our favourite rides and the pics of the girls with Chip and Dale are just too cute!

 

[TheMaxRebo]

First off I will definitely be keeping Alisha in my thoughts and prayers that she gets some answers. My aunt was treated at the Mayo Clinic and they were wonderful!

Looks like a fun time at EPCOT just kinda doing what you come across in between FP+ ... and those fountains are one of the things that you are basically required to take pictures of

 

[jedimeg16]

Prayers for Alisha. I hope she has some answers soon after her appointment.

Your Epcot day looks like fun so far! Especially the pictures with Chip and Dale!

 

[MEK]

What a great time in Epcot. That piggy bank game looks so fun. I need to borrow kids so I can play it.

Fun pictures from SE!

Love the land! It's a must do for me every trip!

Love Mary's shirt. So cute. I already told you I love yours.

 

[MEK]

I did not know that Alisha was ill. I am so sorry to hear that and I hope she don't have to wait long to get a diagnosis. It sounds like it could be a myriad of things. My goodness. She should not have to feel that bad. So sorry. Please keep us posted. Is she gluten sensitive? Has that been considered? I only ask because I know it can be debilitating.

 

[WDWaddictt]

Fingers crossed that Alisha gets some answers and some relief.

Looks like a great weekend! And $500 sounds awesome!

Hope your son’s back feels better too!

I LOVE Vera Bradley and can’t wait to get a wallet to go with my purse!!

What a great time in Epcot. That piggy bank game looks so fun. I haven’t played before, may have to give it a try. Wow there is so much stuff I still have to do in WDW.

 

[Poolrat]

What a fun time in EPCOT and you got so much done.

So sorry Alisha is feeling bad. Good for an appointment to the Mayo Clinic and I hope she feels better soon. Sending good thoughts and prayers her way.

 

[natebenma]

I love the really cute pictures in front of Spaceship Earth!

What a bummer about missing your meet with Bill and Grace

Just curious, if you use a FP+ on Journey Into Imagination, do they just send you into the (empty) standby line anyway?

HA HA HA, you are so funny Mark. Actually the last two times I've been there has actually been a line.

I was wondering the very same thing about how much time you saved using a FP here.

Your pictures from the attraction are great!

Now I am off to read your life update and your mega update.

 

[natebenma]

I am so sorry to hear about all that Alisha has been going through. It is obvious how much you and Mark both care for her. Sending lots of positive energy her way.

As you know, and others have said, the Mayo is the best.

 

[natebenma]

Sounds like you are making the most of your day at EPCOT. I haven't done the Piggy Bank thing but what I have read about it is really interest-ing (pun intended)

I love your line-up of Spaceship Earth, Soarin' and Living with the Land.

That was a really cute meet between two cute girls and two very cute chipmunks. Chip and Dale are my faves!

That is excellent that you met up with Lisa and Hunter (and John?) a couple of times. Even if there isn't a picture, I do believe it happened.

 

[pas130]

My boss was a Trustee there and is now a Trustee Emeritus. That is how we got her in so fast. Thanks; it was a really fun weekend.

Bless that you could get her an appointment. I will pray for Alisha. Poor girl is going through so much, and she seems so wonderful! I hope she gets answers and is on her way to a successful treatment ASAP!

I love your Epcot day, we loved Innoventions. Great pics with Chip and Dale

 

[themommy]

Some how I have totally missed that piggy bank thing. Those pigs are too cute though.

The pic you have here from LWTL, of the rocks and the water....I want that set up in my back yard. I do however think that I will pass on eating any lily pads that were in it!

The pics of ya'll with Chip and Dale are great. I love that all of your shirts are so "disneyfied". If that is not a word, it should be!
