AHA! People are always asking me what kind of dog my Jedi is. Maybe he is part Rocky... As you can see, Jed also likes to dig holes when ever we stop for more than a second. Grass, dirt, sand...it doesn't matter. Nice to see he's not the only one. Loving the report! Rocky seems like a really sweet dog.

Happy 29th Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to you!!! I'm not sure who is cuter...you or the dog!

Beautiful work! Not just the book marks and door...but the TR too!

Oh my goodness Ed! This is WONDERFUL!! God bless you. :heart: :heart: :heart: I posted the link to your fundraising page on my Facebook and I will support you as well! Thank you!

HAHAHA! Thanks! I don't feel so bad. :rofl2:

This is a great TR!! Makes me want to go on a cruise right now!!

How wonderful for you and your family Dave! We had Ali in a similar program here in PA and it did wonders for her. Good luck to you guys and thanks for sharing!

Ok, am I the only geek who waved back? :rofl2: I just get so excited sometimes!! Can't wait so see more!!

Amazing!! DH just walked past as I was reading this and when he saw the pics he asked if I would want to trade our Disney World/Fort trip next year for a cruise!! Tempting... :D Can't wait to see more!!!

I'm so excited to follow along! :suspense:

Oh what a great report. Loved it! Your boys are adorable. You can tell from the pics that they really enjoy being together. Thanks for sharing!!

Wonderful TR Stef! I wish I was going in October of this year, but we have to wait until 2012. I'm counting on all the Fiend TR's after this Halloween to get me thru!

I also started using moving blankets that I bought from Amazon.com. Totally worth it! And easy to pack and wash if need be. Perfect solution!

Awesome TR so far Lisa!! Your Tessy is just beautiful!! She reminds me of my late tri-color Border Collie mix Brady. Is she a Border Collie? Can't wait for more!

Great report Stef! You really "crack" me up. :rofl2:

Thanks Stef! I'm on board for your trip report too!! Ali is doing extremely well! She's been seizure free for almost 3 years now (knock on wood)!! :dance: They grow in the blink of an eye. We're planning our next trip down for Sept/Oct 2012. My kids' first time staying on Disney property is going to be at the Fort!! I can't wait!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Thank you very much. It's a profound feeling. The whole experience is hard to put into words. And thank you in regards to Wil. He is a remarkable little guy. He is always looking out for her and trying to do little things to make her happy without anyone ever telling him to. He is everything a big brother should be. :heart: And I thank everyone who tagged along on my trip down memory lane. It was fun to put it all down somewhere. And I'm glad that somewhere was here. :heart:

Can't wait for the rest!! :popcorn:

Thank you for reading along. This was fun! Thanks! My sister and I were raised to be very close and that's how I try to raise Wil and Ali. They do have their moments (don't we all? :rofl2: ) but all in all, they really get along wonderfully. They always look out for each other and they play together really well. It makes my heart happy. :heart:

We decided to ride Journey to Atlantis. Wil and Ali were too short for most of the rides and we only really had a few hours till we had to be at the airport. Wil was tall enough for JtA, but Ali was not. Which royally ticked her off. I felt bad, but I distracted her while DH took Wil on. Then they got off and Wil wanted to ride with me too. Ok, I'm game. The lines were not bad, even without the magic button. So we were on and off in no time. Then we went over to see the big Believe show. I wanted to sit in the splash zone, but seeing as how we were on our way to the airport in a couple of hou

Ok, home stretch. We bid farewell to my mom and Casey and then we ventured off to Sea World! Originally, we weren't even going to try to make it to Sea World. Our flight back was supposed to be in the afternoon. But then I found a flight from MCO back to Pittsburgh that left at 8 pm and we were able to switch flights so that we could have most of the day still in Florida. Back in the day, there used to be a Sea World somewhere in Ohio that I remember going to as a kid. Now they are all so far from us. I'm not sure when my kids would get another chance to visit Sea World, so off we went! Sea

Thanks!! Thank you! I agree (about the adorable and the happy ending.) :heart: You better believe it! :heart: Although our trip isn't planned until Sept/Oct 2012, but you will be among the first to know!

Today is Ali's 7th Birthday!! :parrot: :parrot: :banana: :parrot: :parrot: Hard to believe! So in honor of her big day (and in between trying to get her cake made and the house cleaned) I figured I'd better get another chapter of our TR done. So, early morning, last day. :'( We pack up and head to check out. During checkout at GKTW, they gave us our cd of pictures and a list of all the corporate sponsors who donate things to help GKTW run. There's lots of big names on there besides the obvious. There's all the little things like the food they put in the fridge for when we get there an

Thank you! And I'm sure GKTW would love to have you as a volunteer! I'll have to go back thru and see what other pics I have of the Castle. So sweet of you as always Lou! Thanks for joining in!! Here's some pics from this summer of my darlings! :heart: Thanks Ed.
