Lots of Firsts and Better Late Than Never

More BB photos

Kim, like H, Lance got a lot of "behind" pictures of me. :facepalm:

Breakfast: rolls with butter, onions, poppy seeds, mustard, worcestershire sauce, ham, and swiss cheese. Love these things! I made up two batches and froze them before we left TN, but some of the ice melted in the cooler and one of the batches got wet.

1. At least you have a bag covering yours. ;D I finally told H he'd better NOT take any more booty photos or else!!! It didn't do any good. lol.

2. Yummy! I make these every Christmas Eve for our get together at my Grandma's house. IF there are any leftovers (usually there aren't) we have them for breakfast on Christmas morning. In our house they're known as Glory Burgers. :rofl2:

Ok, I just gotta say...I've let 12 hours pass since reading last night's installment, and I'm still drooling over those breakfast rolls.

Just sayin.

Hmm.... Glory Burgers and pie with a "kick" for the next GG??

Liv...GREAT report! You look adorable even before taming the beast. Your after is absolutely beautiful! :heart:

I can't wait to meet ya'll in person, although, sometimes I forget I haven't already! You're family is precious!!!

I love your noseyness!

Grammy had some food in the cabinet and asked me to cook it so it wouldn't go bad as the camper won't be used again before next spring. There was some Velvetta Shells and cheese so I did make it to go with our GAG. One of the sides I ordered was slaw...for the boys. Gretchen and I aren't slaw people and I wanted something besides mashed taters and gravy and biscuits. So like I true southerner, I added another starch. I did not know cowboy beans were an option or I would have gotten them! They were not on the menu and I didn't think to ask if they had them.

Sweet tea was in the pyrex thingie. The only other container we had for drinks was full of lemonade. Remember we don't drink alcohol.

It is a red solo cup with sweet tea in it.

Did I make punch? If lemonade is considered a punch, then yes. If not, then no.

Man, I just made myself hungry looking at that photo and hearing your description.

I'm thinking it's time for another trip to the Fort for the TCD gang!

No matter what, I am going to make it over to meet y'all the next time you visit the Fort.

And, I'll try to remember to visit at meal-time.

oh dear, I'm going to need some more specific info on the breakfast roll things, and you were able to freeze a batch? LOVE that idea! Please share :jumpforjoy

Liv, Lance and I cannot help it if you and Kim are speed walkers! :rofl3:

Ok, somehow I missed a bunch of installments, but I'm caught up now.

First, AWESOME JOB on the race! I still can't believe you ran your first half-mary in the middle of the night! You totally rock.

Second, I love the story about the GPS. I too would have totally freaked out without my watch, even more so with your race plan. Your family rocks for getting it to you just in the nick of time!

Third, I can't believe you didn't have any fuel during the race and didn't pig out when you got done.

(Losing count now...) More random thoughts - I love that breakfast roll you had! We have them every year for Christmas and they are awesome.

What was that cooking for lunch?

Finally, I love the beast hair. Too much fun.

Thanks for an awesome trip report! I know it's not over yet, but you know I couldn't wait to hear about the race!

First, I can't either. It's past my bed time right now and I can hardly keep my eyes open. I definitely want to do a morning race some time.

Second, yeah I think my family rocks too...or at least that night I did. Just kidding...they rock all the time.

Third, just cause I didn't pig out right after the race does NOT mean I didn't pig out the week after...or the month after. .

Lunch was a pork tenderloin and orange juice...it was good!

The beast. It's a constant source of ridicule in my house.

Yvonne, yes I agree all tea should be sugar with a little water and tea mixed it.

I don't always use the banging and clanging method to awaken my family. Sometimes I sing, but that usually just causes them to roll over and put the pillow over their head while moaning and groaning.

Thank you for following along and adding your sweet comments. Oh! Another perk to home schooling is going to Disney whenever you want to!

Ok, I just gotta say...I've let 12 hours pass since reading last night's installment, and I'm still drooling over those breakfast rolls.

Just sayin.

Every time I look at that picture I start drooling! Man, I love those things!!

Dave is there anything you don't drool over?

We all know the answer to that question.

[liv luvs disney 2]

Thats a loaded question. :)

Oh mercy!

1. In this picture I am covered, but you should see the other 937 without being covered. No worries...I won't post all of them! :rofl2: I told Lance to stop too...it didn't work with him either.

2. Yep, there is rarely any left overs of ham rolls. That's what we call them. I like Glory Burgers better even though my family won't know what in the world I'm talking about. :rofl3:

If Glory Burgers and your famous pie are being served at the next GG, I'll for sure be there!

Lordy mercy, you're so sweet. Thank you for your compliments. I feel like I know you already too! And your family is just precious! Can't wait to really meet...in real life.

Lance said 100 times that camping makes you hungry. I agree.

I'm gonna hold you to it! Though Donnie has told me that too. Even when Grammy or I cook, he still doesn't show up. He never made it over this trip either. I'm trying not to take it personally, but how can I not? :rofl2:

[liv luvs disney 2]

I'll gladly post the recipe...after I've had some sleep.

Liv, Lance and I cannot help it if you and Kim are speed walkers! :rofl3:

That's not the real reason and you know it.

Liv, Lance and I cannot help it if you and Kim are speed walkers! :rofl3:

It's still not the real reason and you still know it. :rofl3:

Uh oh, H has Kimitis :rofl2:

It seems to run in the family. :rofl2:

He just double posted to kiss up to his wife.

After reading his next post, he best start kissing up to her!

I can't kiss up to my wife, stuuup!!! She's too short. :rofl3:

Uh-oh...somebody's sleepin' on the couch tonight.

[kampfirekim 260]

Uh-oh...somebody's sleepin' on the couch tonight.

He hurried up and went to bed first so he wouldn't have to. :rofl2:

[wak648...Bill 94]

He hurried up and went to bed first so he wouldn't have to. :rofl2:

Just make sure he makes an appointment with the chiropractor to get the kink in his back, that he got from bending over to kiss up to you, worked out.

He won't need an appointment. I'll crack his back for him! "WHACK!" :rofl2:

Disney's Home School Days. We've participated in this event for the last 3 years and have not been disappointed. They do a good job. Here are some more pictures of the room we were in at EPCOT and the speakers. The theme this year was healthy eating.

After our class was over, we were free. We were so close to Soarin' we decided to go ahead and ride it before getting some lunch.

I have extreme motion sickness...even on Soarin'. I don't know if it was because I was just exhausted or what, but I did not do many of the rides on this trip. I just had a yucky feeling for days after the race.

We were all hungry and Lance and I wanted to try something different...not just a burger and fries. So, we headed to World Showcase.

We opted for something sweet first. Lance loves cannoli, but he was disappointed in the size.

Gretchy had one too.

[liv luvs disney 2]

Gretchy got something else sweet, but because we don't have a picture of it and it's been so long, I can't recall what it was. Gage was bent on something savory first and none of us were overly impressed with the selection of the F & W menus. I did, however, get some creme brulee...LOVE that stuff!

In the end, we headed back to get the usual.

Deep fried fish and fries...just what someone who is already queasy and someone with gallbladder problem needs.

Gretchy had a couple of my fries and Gage got a burger and fries. It's a good thing we paid attention in that "healthy eating" class we had just left.

I don't know about y'all, but I like my bacon done...like crispy done. Not practically raw.

Gage has a stomach of steel. Me, not so much. I felt like S70 after her buttery pretzel experience. :-[

I was ready to go back to the camper and we were on our way, but I decided to try to tough it out. Especially after seeing this. :heart:

We were so close to the "golf ball" and I didn't think I'd get sick on it, so we decided to ride it before we left.

We always like to make goofy faces in the beginning just to be silly. I know...we need a life. Here is Lance and Gretchen. Gage & I didn't have a camera to document our goofy faces.

Okay, enough of that.

The kids BEGGED me to ride TT. I told them they could, but I wasn't. Somehow in the midst of that conversation, we wound up at the ice-cream shop.

Lance and I shared...even though I said I was not gonna eat any. :laugh:

[Tri-Circle-D 2,059]

The photos of Gretchen with Daisy are adorable!

I also love the ice cream shots. Y'all certainly did learn a lot at that health eating class!

TCD

[stefa70 205]

Oooh Liv, sorry about your stomach. It stinks to feel sick when you're at WDW. Please tell me the ice cream made you feel better. I like to think that because Disney is such a magical place, even fried foods & ice cream are healthy!

I especially like the bit of ice cream that you were saving for later.

[H in SC 85]

Looks to me like everyone is having a wonderful time. Great family vacation, making great family memories. :)

[DaveInTN 3,247]

I enjoy the golf ball ride well enough, but can't stand listening to that Damn Judy Dench. I mean Dame. Really.

[MicknMin...Holly 54]

If it makes you feel any better, I get sick on Soarin' too! It actually makes me feel off balance for a while afterward. There are so many rides at WDW that I don't even bother with because I get sick on them, but I still love to be there soaking up the atmosphere of the parks.

We should form a society. I can't ride a lot of the rides either.

One word: ADORABLE!!!!!

[PureTcrazy...rita 380]

That Ice cream looks bigger than your head!

That Ice cream looks bigger than your head!

But not bigger than THE BEAST! :rofl3:
