This is a little spooky

I got mail today from Food Lion. I opened it, and it was coupons for 12 different items. This was really strange, because EACH of the items was something I had purchased within the past 6 months. It was such a variety of things, everything from yogurt to salsa. Every single item though is something I purchase often. I guess they are using those MVP cards for something useful.
Look out for your mail. They might send you some too!

Who is this?

Who does this look like?

The Star Ceremony

Kat should be the one to explain this to you, but I will do my best.
Every child that is granted a Make A Wish trip to Disney is given a gold star. You can put your name on it, or whatever you wish. You carry this star to a certain building, and there is a little ceremony thing they do. The star is put on the black holder like seen in the first picture. Then they say some things and put it in the brown box (second picture). After that a fairy appears on the screen on the wall and tells you to make a wish. By the next day, your star is placed on the wall or ceiling somewhere in the building (last picture).
It has some type of GPS system in the star, so they will ALWAYS be able to find the right star. So, you can visit there 20 years from now and find Isaac's star.

This is what we did Best!

It seemed as though we spent most of our time eating. The pictures above show the night Kat got her FIVE Boston Market FREE meals to go. We carried them over to the house where Sherrill and I was staying and hung out there. Everytime you turned around, someone was eating something. Sherrill and Eli spent most of their time at the ice cream shop. You could get free ice cream all day long. We had ice cream for breakfast, ice cream for snacks, ice cream for late night treats. Kat got pictures of Sherrill in the ice cream shop.

The last picture is of Eli's giant squid. Joe won it for him at one of the parks. He wore it around like a hat.

Horseback Riding

They had horseback riding right inside the village. Isaac made two trips around the lap. Once completed, he got his cowboy hat.

Sto Baby's New Home

   I got a phone call from Chris tonight and it's official. He has flown the coop. He has been saving his money could he could move in with a friend, and now he has done it. Yes, "He's a MAN now." He gets to cook his own food, pay his own bills, and enjoy life as a "free man". I wonder if he will still have to carry the garbage out?!

   I know he will be headed back home when he is hungry, or when his car is broke down. But, Congrats to Chris. Fly little bird fly. You will always know the way home, and to Grandma's.

School Pictures

Olivia

Cameron

Nate

Tristen

Sherrill had plenty of birthday cards when he got home Tuesday. So, we got a lot of school pictures.

These will be added to the "Grandkids" board. 

OK now, where are the other school pictures?

My Birthday present

This is what I want for Christmas. It would make a great addition for my farm. Just an FYI this is a for
children PG_10 and up.

  

Blake's New Cast

Here's a look at Blake's new cast. He did more damage than they first thought.
He looks tough though!

Birthday Bash like you wouldn't believe!

You would never guess what we did tonight to celebrate. First we all got together and went out to Golden Corral (Chris's favorite) for dinner. We left there and went to the Wilderness Campground where Sue and Dean were staying. From there we rode the golf cart to the lake to board the Pontoon Party boat equipped with drinks and snacks, a birthday banner, and lots of balloons. We were carried out to the lake out by the Magic Kingdom to watch the fireworks from there. After the fireworks we were give a tour of the entire area. It was GREAT. Every time we would pass another boat everyone would yell happy birthday. One boat with probably a hundred people on board sang Happy Birthday to him as we were leaving the docks. Believe me, this is one birthday the old man will NEVER forget. Thank you Roller Family for such a great time!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!

Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday dear "Fat Boy"
Happy Birthday to YOU!

I can't imagine a better place to spend your birthday than right here. The place where all your wishes come true.

From the Beginning

Getting ready to leave



In the Cockpit meeting the pilots

Visiting the little house.(Not sure of it's name)

Inside the little house.

Kat downloaded her memory stick to my laptop, so I thought I would send out some pictures she has taken.

 

This morning we went with Isaac to ride the horses. Pictures of that will come later. We got free Boston market take out

 

meals in the village and brought them over to "our house" for lunch. Then Sherrill carried Kat and the boys to the flea

 

market while me and Isaac hung out at the house.

 

Joe has come to pick up the family and they are headed out to Magic Kingdom. The park stays open until 11:00 tonight, and

 

I am sure they will make good use of every minute of it!



Animal Kingdom and Universal Studios

We came over this morning to have breakfast with the Rollers, and they were ALL sleeping. We sat out in front of the house and rocked in the rocking chairs until Joe came out at 8:30 and let us in.  Yesterday they spent the day with Ma and Pa Roller at Universal Studios and Animal Kingdom while Sherrill and I went shopping and went to visit Joey, Astrid, and Nicolas. Everyone is having a great time.
Come on down, the weather is still Hot, Hot, Hot!

Poor Llttle Blake

 

 

Photos from Kelli. Blake shut his hand in the door, and broke hand and fingers. He's going to Ortho for therapy. He gets a new cast next week. Is this right Kelli?

 

 

 

 

Things we saw on Vacation

 

Telephones at the antique store.

 

A stove I wanted to buy, but it was $2,000.00

 

 

Where the first Brusnwick Stew was made.

 

 

Food, food, and more food.

 

Today we went out to the quilt shops, and Sherrill went to Home Depot. Now we are back for lunch,

and then a dip in the heated pool! Just lovely!

School Trip for Cameron

Remember the school day field trips. They were always the best ever! Cameron and Wendy went on
their field trip today to The Battleship. Wilmington in September should have been beautiful.
Those are some mighty tight quarters on that ship.
Does anyone else have a field trip coming up?

St Augustine Florida

I am always looking for a lighthouse!



I wanted to rent one of these. Sherrill could drive, and I could ride!

 

But look, this one has a motor.

Gator Bob's was closed, but the music was still jamming!

 

This is the old jail. It was closed by the time we got there.

 

This was here in Kissimmee right down the road.

 

I had to circle and do a double-take. Yep, you have to hold down two jobs to afford to live here.

This guy must have been a highway worker that worked part time at Chic Fil A.
