Great pictures…he actually smiles when he's with his friends!
Yeah and that's about the only time
Awww, bittersweet indeed! Congrats to Chris, though
School doesn’t finish up here until the end of this week, which is a week later than normal. They added 10 days to the school year but there’s no extra instruction days for students, it’s “professional development” days for teachers
That's weird. Our teachers do go one extra day after the kids get out, and the elementary kids had half days their last 3 days while the teachers stayed all day but that's it. You, ouar friends to the North, are just strange
My DD has admitted to watching “Coco” and “Annie” in class this past week so I have to wonder if the extra days were necessary
Our kids do that before holidays! For the last couple years Ricky has tried to get out of going to school by saying all they'll do is watch movies, but for instance in Italian class they watch Disney movies IN Italian so I make him go lol
He looks so much older than them! I didn’t believe it when you said he was just finishing elementary school!
It's so funny to see the size differences. He and a couple other kids are the same size, and the tallest in class. Then he has a couple friends who look like they're 7. He is one of the oldest, he is a late Oct. bday and the cutoff in NY is Dec. 1st so he turned 12 back in Oct. while many of his friends just turned 12 these past few months. I held him back because otherwise he would have started kindergarten at 4 (for the first almost 2 months) instead of 5, and I preferred him to be one of the oldest instead of youngest. He's just a big boy! Of all our 4 boys I think he'll either be the tallest or 2nd tallest with our oldest being the tallest, much to Ricky's chagrin.
So I have been enjoying reading your trip report.
Thank you, I appreciate you following along!
But let me just say, for some reason, I got all emotional reading your posts about Chris' gratuation from elementary school. For some reason it brought back a flood of memories of my son (who is now 24) moving from 8th grade to high school. How do they grow up so fast???!!!
I don't know, but if I think about it too much I'll tear up, too! I think it would have upset me more if 1. I wasn't returning to the elementary school to chair school pictures in Sept. and 2. we didn't have so much going on with Ricky's knee, and my DIL being pregnant. I was just too distracted to be upset about it. Until you reminded me lol!
We saw the new redhead scene and I'm not sure that it is an improvement.
I'll help you figure that out - it's not
. Just kidding! But it's not.
The boat back to WL is always the best way to go. We only stay for the fireworks when we are at the WL because of the boat.
That's the part I dread is going back to our resort after fireworks. Steve and I watched HEA (from a fantastic spot not in front of the castle) in May while staying at POP. It was EMH until 11 but we left around 11, however you still had some residual leftover from the 9pm close along with stragglers leaving from EMH and we got on the FOURTH bus. It was a nightmare and I don't think I could pay Steve to stay at POP again, he just kept looking at the boat launch as we walked to the buses and I think he was trying not to cry......
That is a really nice shirt.
Thanks! He's very picky with the Disney shirts he'll wear, nothing too "loud". When I saw
@Jenny Sanders DH wearing this I knew it was right up Steve's alley.
I haven't been on pirates since the change but I agree it doesn't fit in with theme of the ride.
Exactly, plus there was no really good, justifiable reason to change it! I think the new scene sticks out too much, although like I said if you never saw the original scene and aren't aware it's been changed, you probably won't think twice about it
Love that Chris wore the Wonder Woman cape! Too cute!
He looks so happy to be out of 6th grade lol.
He's his own person, and I do love that about him!
That is the best shirt ever on Steve!

Thanks! Now he can be dressy for our signature dinners yet still be "Disney"
