Hello friends! On this, T-minus 10 days from our July 4th Disney trip, I come to you with another EPIC update finally! Summer is (almost in) full swing here; kids have no school tomorrow, Tuesday Ricky has his last final and Chris has his last 1/2 day which is just field day. Ricky has started his summer job/first job at the minor league baseball stadium by us
We are totally not baseball fans but they employ about 100 high school kids each summer and 90% of them are from his high school, so with about 10 of his friends he's slinging stadium food until right after Labor Day Better than a football stadium because after his injury I wouldn't be able to stomach that! At least I don't have to hand over $$ now every time he goes out the door.........
Anyway we had finished our F&G fun and had to leave to get to our group evening event! This entailed walking to the Beach Club and was supposed to be 3 (4??) boats full of EPIC DISers taking an Illuminations Cruise, except the skies TOTALLY opened up about 15 or so minutes before we were supposed to board and the cruises were cancelled. At first it was drizzling so we all waited it out under umbrella tables at Hurricane Hannah's where many of us ended up drenched anyway. Some of our men braved the rain when under cover seating became scarce:
Steve and Mr.
@pepperandchips , BFF's forever
After what was a long "what are we going to do" period we pretty much all took to our heels and ran for the hills, the hills being the Yacht Club lobby where half of us took refuge at Ale and Compass while those of us staying at the WL plus some stalkers grabbed Minnie Vans and headed - where else? To TERRY-TORY lounge, of course!!!!!
Where you say? Let me explain........the tale of
"Terry-tory Lounge, otherwise known as getting TFO"
Us,
@kastoney,
@Elevationist @IowaTater @Jenny Sanders and her DH Joe and
@buzzrelly were all staying at the WL;
@fallonkendra and her DH Luke plus
@pepperandchips and her DH joined us on this fine evening. We were having a great time relaxing eating and drinking when out of nowhere this man came up behind Jenny and asked if he could finish her food, WHAT?????? Followed by a request to take our picture. This turned in to him being IN a picture with us much to Steve;s disgust as you'll notice; and someone else's disgust too:
Here's the picture that Melinda
@pepperandchips dubbed "Steve - getting tfo"
Now can you guess what the guy's name was? Oh and see Mr. Happy smiling behind Billie? He was with Terry and had struck up a conversation with Steve. Then as soon as the pictures started he pushed Steve out of the way and sat in the extra chair which is what really pushed Steve over the edge
We were hysterical, he was piss drunk. I'm pretty sure we closed down the Lounge just as we'd closed down GP the night before! Oh, right when we got there I was able to introduce Fallon and Luke to the wonderfulness that is the Roarking Fork Magic Bar:
And they liked it, they really really liked it!!!!
Now to keep going and to totally mess up the flow, I will now combine this evening with our next morning in one post even though it may be against DIS guidelines. This was our last day and it was starting with another group event I was seriously looking forward to as it would not only give us a chance to see everyone one final time, but it promised to involve super delicious food! Little did I know if would turn out to be an even better day than I thought
We didn't have to be up super early so around 9:45 I think we met up with Kelly Kari Jenny and Joe at the boat dock:
And look at the twins:
Yes Jenny and I did purposely dress them alike today lol.
We were taking the boat over to the Contemporary for brunch at Cali Grill, which would be a first for us and I believe Kelly too! We met everyone in the lobby, headed upstairs and were pretty much greeted by this:
I'll leave it right here and continue with a bunch of awesome brunch pictures next time!
