97 degrees in October, we must be at Disneyworld


I attended PMI global this year. What better opportunity (it was in Orlando) to go to Disney World? Ruby, Jamey and Grandma and Papa joined us. For once, the timeshare pays off. The Wyndham was very nice and located near the parks. The big surprise to me was that Ruby actually wanted to meet the characters and didn't mind standing in line to do it. If I ever find the person who made the indoor greeting for the princesses, I will get down on my knees and thank them. I can't imagine going in Summer when the temperature is the same and the crowd is about 30 times bigger. How will I get my Its a Small World after all boat break? Ruby enjoyed everything we did (with the exception of some fireworks at Epcot). Jamey, Grandma and I got to partake of the Epcot wine festival woo hoo! By far, the biggest advice I have for those going anytime soon is to download the iPhone app for the park maps. Very helpful and they helped Jamey with having a valid excuse to look at his iPhone to feed his addiction. I also made a picture book of the experience using Picaboo. Turned out great. I guess I have to quit insisting every picture have someone we know in it. Jamey's shots of the Animal Kingdom rides made great backgrounds.

Trick or Treat!




Ruby had an awesome Halloween. Despite a long commitment to a Spider Witch costume Grandma got her, she switched to a Cinderella nightgown right before we headed out. This year, Ruby had every idea of the mission and despite cold weather insisted going out twice to get more candy! I think Jamey still has nightmares of her in that bib.

Jamey and Evan dressed up the courtyard and we had a pretty rockin party for ourselves and the very few neighbors that actually trick or treated at our house. (Maybe it was the scary adults in not so scary costumes that made people move on to the next house)
