Hey all! I seem to have lost my place with whom I've quoted and where I stopped, so if I'm double quoting you I'm sorry and if I miss you twice, I'm also sorry
Chris's face is priceless on RrC, so funny! It looks like he is thinking Holy S***! Ha ha!
That's exactly how he looks! We were dying when we saw the picture!
Sounds like his coach is AMAZING!!!! So glad to hear that they are being supportive.
Both his varsity coach and the weight room coach, who has been one of his PE teachers since 7th grade, are being better than I ever imagined as are his friends and teammates. The football coach not so much but I don't really care since he's never playing football again!
I am glad we aren't the only ones to bribe there kids to go on a ride. Not glad to hear that it get more $$$ the older they get!
Oh yeah, unfortunately the bribes get bigger and more expensive. However the time does come where you can just tell them you don't care if they do it or not! I think the last time we bribed Ricky he was 12, and then we just started saying ok don't do it, we'll meet you here lol
Spoiler Alert: I didn't drink a single Shofferhofer our whole trip!?! But oh so good!
What?! Well I've had a trip or two where I end up not have a grey goose slush and I don't even realize it until the trip is just about over, but I've always had enough other adult beverages to make up for it
Good coach. Good for Ricky. Surgery sooner is definitely better...even with a brace, he could do a lot more damage to it and build up scar tissue which would make the surgery potentially less effective.
True on all of that. The second surgeon we saw was pretty adamant that he not play on it before surgery whereas the first surgeon was kind of like, "eh, if you want to you can, although you may damage it more", and I'm happier with the second surgeon's stance.
Yeah, the one thing about WL that I wish were different. Compared to other resort slides, this one is lame.
It IS lame, although better than not having one! Ricky's pretty much outgrown pool sides anyway but Chris still likes them. Not even sure which ones he'd like since he never wanted to use the one at Stormalong Bay, but maybe AKL
I would have expected a gutter moment more there
Ew!!
Seriously though yeah that was a perfect spot to hit the gutter
Cool shirt and cool friend for doing that. I remember when you first got them and thought what a wonderful person
@Whit64130 must be.
She is a VERY cool friend
and definitely a wonderful person! Wishing she lived closer to me
Funny picture. You and Steve - Woo hoo! Ricky - Meh. Chris - Oh crap, why did I agree to this?
lmao you hit that on the head! I always tell Ricky to try animating his face more when he knows ride photos are being taken!
Now, I want to see the ToT picture. Is that in one of your other TRs?
You know, I can't remember if I posted it in my TR from last Nov., but even if I did it won't be there now because of stupid photobucket. But I'll try finding it and posting it again in my next update!
Premature e-post-ulation. You know there's treatment programs for that?
I wish I thought of that!
I get like that too. I think that's part of why I like WDW as a vacation destination so much…I can only sit around so much.
I know many don't feel this way but I'm not, like, a beach vacation person. First I don't like beaches lol, and second I can't just CHILL on vacation. I can do that for like a day but I need to DO things on vacation! Sightseeing, things like that, so that's exactly why Disney is a great fit for me
What's that?? I've never seen it!
Some of the "new" interactive stuff at RnRc! Similar to what they now have at HM and IASW (although we've never gotten anything personalized there) and EE. So cool!
First off, I'm so happy to hear about Ricky's basketball coach and his reassurance and support. Anxious to hear about how Monday's appointment goes, and I'll be crossing my fingers for it!
Appt. went great! Well, other than the fact that he still has a torn ACL, but we really like the surgeon and are more than comfortable with him doing the surgery. It'll be down in Westchester since that's where the Dr. primarily practices and has hospital privileges, at Westchester Medical Center - which I'm only mentioning to you since you know NY
Ahh, Ariane, your word choice never disappoints.
I do try my best, it's stressful lol
Nope, not a better person than you
So glad I'm in good company
I honestly can still hardly look at pictures. My stomach just totally turns. I think I get
more sad about it with time.
I rode GMR at least 5 times each trip, and it just doesn't feel the same visiting DHS without it.
I am not looking forward to seeing the empty building next month, I know I'll cry. And I know the first time I ride the new coaster I'll be trying to figure out where all parts of GMR were............
Oh no so sorry about Ricky's ACL super bummer. But after doing xrays for 30+ yrs. I can tell ya modern medical technology has advanced so much his recup time should be much easier.
That's very good to hear
