Today Was All About JT

After a big lunch (and I do mean big!--both boys ate turkey legs) at the Animal Kingdom, JT and I headed out to do some rides that Luci just won't do. Which could mean any ride, couldn't it?? John and Bryan took Luci back to the Boardwalk Villas while JT and I headed to the Magic Kingdom. First we rode a bus, then the Monorail...

Then on to see Stitch's Great Escape... (I screamed in all the right places.)

And on to Tomorrowland's Indy Speedway (The last time we were here JT had to ride with me--now he's a better driver than I on this track!)

Cool Dude

Gotta have that popcorn!

Riding the Tomorrowland Transit Authority...

We used to ride this 'way back when ... when John took Bryan on the Space Mountain roller coaster in 2001, and in 2002 when John was on one of his trips overseas, JT and I would ride this while waiting for Bryan to get done riding Space Mountain. Lots of memories here.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin was lots of fun! JT's score was 26 times higher than mine!

Riding the teacups in the Mad Tea Party...

We also got to see the show, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. That was pretty funny. JT pointed out a man who looked just like Papa! I tried to take his photo but I got in trouble for using my camera in the show! boo hoo. Papa, what were you doing there??

JT has had a hard time giving up his place in the family as the youngest. It was so nice to spend this special time with just him, going someplace incredible like the Magic Kingdom. We ran all over (ok, I just tottered everywhere--he said he could give me a mile head start and he'd catch up in 10 minutes) doing whatever he wanted that was not too scary for mama. We used our Photo Pass to get some special pictures of him all by himself. He said his "love bucket" was feeling pretty full today.

This photo was this morning, before our "date"--JT showing his strength before he conquered Mount Everest and the terrible Yeti who lives there. JT said this roller coaster was "way better than Space Mountain!"

Date Night ??

John and I finally got a date night--sort of. JT and Bryan had play practice at the church building. They had their supper provided for them as cast and crew members. It is a 25 minute trip each way, so going home during the practices is almost a silly idea (and wastes lots of gas). So, whomever takes the boys usually stays there or runs an errand in town. John has been out of town since last Wednesday (got home Sunday night) so I packed up a picnic supper for him, Luci and me and we all went to the church with the boys.

Our Chaperone:Our Chaperone after I suggested Daddy take her to the potty instead of me: John and Luci going upstairs to the walking track:
Woo-Hoo! Big date. Cheap date.
This is what I think of you two hugging in front of my friends:
Daddy with his big girl. Notice her dress (the one from Fiji) and John's heavy coat. She is hot-natured, he is not!
