Disney World

We were on the free disney dining plan and we ate and ate and ate some more. We got dessert with our lunch and dinner and Brinley got addicted to chocolate cake and chocolate brownies. Everytime someone came with chocolate cake she would say, "Brins Choclick Cake". Then she would sing happy birthday. What a funny girl!
Denise had a little chatterbox accompanying her on many rides and around the park.
My favorite ride at Hollywood Studios.....Tower of Terror.
Denise watched the kids so Powell and I could go out to a nice dinner. I'm having a famous grapefruit cake. Delicious!
Powell and Brin getting ready for a 3-D Mickey movie.
This is Hunter after he watched the Indiana Jones stunt show at Hollywood Studios. Afterwards we bought him a REAL Indiana Jones hat.
Savannah posing with a hippo in the background at The Wild Animal Park.
Brinley LOVED the characters at our character lunch with Winnie the Pooh and friends. She squeezed, kissed and hugged Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger and Piglet.
Savannah and Hunter riding the teacups at Magic Kingdom.....it's a ride that makes us all sick!
Pirates of the Caribbean was one of the few rides we actually thought was better at Disneyland! It was still great!

We had such a fun trip. It was hotter than we ever imagined but at least we know now we never want to live in Florida! We were so glad Denise was able to come and help us manage our three monkeys!

New Adventure's

So we sold our house!!!! For the time being we are living in my Grandma Remund's old farm house while we are looking for something else to buy. There are a few inconveniences but there have been lots of adventures.....especially for Hunter. First is the tree house......this is the same tree house I played in as a kid so it's been really fun. Next would be the animals. We have had MANY raccoons and rock chucks. Powell has loved trapping the raccoons with peanut butter and bread and even caught three in one cage. Last, I'm enjoying the adventure of trying to cook in a very outdated kitchen, including "The Flair" oven.....you'd have to see it to understand! Cross your fingers, we have offers in on a few short sales.

And yes, we do kill them.....I know sad but they are taking over. Seriously I think they've killed about 30 this summer!
