stefa70 205 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I am in! Those jello shots were great and I was happy to be a part of welcoming Jordan home.p.s. I think I have to get started on my own. :heart: Jason! I know I said it a million times, and hugged you half to death, but I honestly can't thank you enough for all your help. I will praise you some more when I get to that day but thank you, thank you, thank you! My family is ready to adopt you. This was quite a cause for a celebration! I know y'all were so happy!It was a great cause and the least I could do. I wish I could do it for every man & woman serving. Thanks for joining in!I'm in! So happy that Jordan joined you all!Hey Gwen! Happy to have you along. Hope I can give you a Fort fix until you can return.In.You had me at Jell-O shots and GAGHowdy stranger! I may be able to appeal to you even more throughout this report...and I can promise you there was no tea. ^-^Can't wait to read more!!!!!More coming right up!Page one.Did your fries come in the bucket like that? I haven't seen that before, and I've seen a lot of GAG's.I don't think you had enough jello shots.I don't like it when Judy takes down her decorations TCDYes, we had a bucket O'fries! They are normally in the grease filled sack....maybe they ran out of bags? I actually toted about 20 jellos home (out of 90!) They will be consumed at another farewell party for Jordan this Saturday. The Fort is much less fun when Judy is gone. Woo hoo! Another Stef report, and a celebration for Jordan to boot.I gotta tell ya...for the last several days of our trip I excitedly checked 550 every day for your camper. I was still thinking you were arriving earlier. INC had to talk me off the ledge every night when you guys didn't arrive. :hugs2: Thanks Dave! We had planned on the first week, specifically to meet up with you, but schedules didn't permit. We WILL get it together one day!I'm in, She had me at It'sAww, I always know I can count on you! Update to follow comments.I'm in too!May I please have a cookie while I wait?Heck Yvonne, you can have 2!! Do you want me to fill you in on the blanks from this night? Well? :clint:Uhhh, probably not.I know I had a couple cocktails before the GAG and may have texted some jibberish. Explains why we decided on the GAG for dinner....close and quick.

BuckeyeFortFan 35 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Sorry I didn't get in until page 2! A couple comments.Although it would be awesome to be at the Fort after serving in Afghanistan, I hope you let that boy have some time for other things that he probably missed more than Mickey Mouse after he got home.... Nice mini fridge, although I am sure your redneck DNA will have you upgrading to a full size frigidaire w/ beer tap before long.Please continue your TR now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I saw he had an awesome time and seemed more and more relaxed as the week went on.Stef if your dam adopts me does that make TCD my grand-dad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Wednesday, January 8th -I slept in til about 5:30 and ventured outside with my laptop to catch up on some e-mails. At 6:00 I received a text from TJ:Are you awake?I responded:Of course!He asked:Do you want some company?I responded;Sure!(I know TJ lives in Jax, and figured he would be driving down for the day)He was almost at the Fort gate!! Imagine me sitting outside, in the screen room, fresh out of bed, in a small t-shirt! EEK!!I ran inside, put on some shorts and woke Trevor up. TJ Arrived at site 550 about 20 minutes later.By the time the sun came up, Jason also showed up.WARNING! If you've just eaten or have any heart conditions, these next 2 pics may do you in! If my mug, first thing in the morning, didn't scare you off, you are one brave soul!We sat around and BS'ed, waiting on Tony & Genia to arrive.Remember the fries from last night? They did not go to waste. TJ had them for breakfast! Of course, I took his picture.When Genia got there with the rest of the punch supplies, Trevor and I left the boys at camp and ran down to get some ice.Judy's empty site from the rear. We got the important stuff out of the way (punch on ice) and took a couple cold beers to Genia's site in the 1600's. TJ was with us, Jason went to MK for a while.Genia's decorations.We could see Kelly's (tiggerinbama) site from Genia'sNot long after, Kelly and Brit showed up.As usual, we all ended up back at my site!Even Mama & Ed showed up!(Ed bent over so he would look the same height as Mama & I....it actually looks like he's passing gas! :hah: )Nate & Jordan would be arriving this evening, so we hung around camp. TJ took off around 4:00 to head back to Jax. I went over to Judy's and we relaxed on the swing solving all our girl problems. I made Jordan's favorite meal, BBQ pulled pork with coleslaw.The boys showed up and dropped off the cart we brought for Genia & Tony. Trevor gave them a quick lesson.Then followed them to Genia's site to help Nate get his camper set up.With everyone's beds ready, we went back to 550 to let the boys eat. We then toasted to Jordan!He was one happy young man! :heart: It was a great night! By midnight, we were all tired...or drunk...or tired of being drunk.But Nate had a sweet tooth.If you are diabetic, I would refrain from looking at this next photo.Running a gym, we get TONS of these boxed candies from clients as Christmas gifts. My mother sent this one with Nate, knowing that with all the kids and visitors, someone would eat it.We ended up eating about 15 pieces. FAIL.That's a wrap for Wednesday!Coming up: "It's Jordan's choice!" BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor says I must stop buying stuff to take camping..or buy a bigger camper. I usually don't have that much food, but needed a ton for Jordan's party.Jason is exactly right! We told Jordo we would take him anywhere he wanted to go, and he picked WDW.He got home on December 21st, so he had time to decompress and do all his other family obligations.

caveat lector 181 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I bet your hubby loves those mirrors. I got them on my last truck, and it turned out to be one of those "I didn't know what I was missing" things.That mini fridge looks a little naked without some NASCAR themed sticker......come on......What's up with Judy leaving? I thought she usually stayed a bit longer before heading back west. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fortpartyof4 108 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I kept eyeballing that giant box of chocolates and now I wish I had opened it up! Holy guacamole!!How is it I missed the jello shots? Maybe you only give those to VIP's. Next time I will have to sneak one. It's OK though, the punch more than made up for it!Seriously though, thank you again for your hospitality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judy's had a busy summer and is just ready to go home.Hey, I don't remember Nate having a camper.That looks awesome!TCDNate bought that a little while back. He's still changing things in it and wants to replace the canvas, but it works perfect for camping and toting all his toys.I like G's decorations.Bringing a golfcart for a FrIEND.

Darn, must be the punch did a number on me too and I lost my manners.

stefa70 205 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thursday, January 10th-Jordan had planned on buying a 4 day park hopper pass, which he did.At Animal Kingdom! He had only been to the MK and DHS in the past so we debated between Epcot and AK for the first day.I know not everyone loves AK, but I do! I enjoy the themes and I love the animals.While BTM is fun, I've rode it countless times. It's a Small World is a classic, but again, I've rode it countless times. Nothing changes much. You never know what the animals will be doing, if you take the time to watch them for a bit.Here is our families favorite you tube video. My boys will literally cry with laughter.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ssXJtzFOjAThis video came into play countless times during our AK visit. We're easily amused.On the way to AK. We drove the truck:Jordo buying his ticketWe're in and crowds are very manageable. A Lion King show was getting ready to start, so that's what we decided to do.That's enough LK pics. The show was fantastic, as always!Jordan liked it so much, he's decided to become a monkey. Not reallyThe wild birds around AK are niceUntil they poop on you.You probably can guess where we headed next. Come on, this is a Stef report!Primeval Whirl!We had a blast and laughed like kids.Gotta love the the colors in Dinoland.Dinosaur was next on the list.Look, a Dino-vane!And a Dinosaur!And Jordan's face in the ride photo! Jordan said Dinosaur is a lot like riding in Nate's mud truck. Trevor stopped on the way out to share a smoke with this dino. Heathens.This seems like a good stopping point.The title of this report was going to be Red White & BLUE at the Fort, because of Jordan.Instead that was changed to BOO at this point in the trip.
