THE BIG, BLUE PIG: DISNEYWORLD FEBRUARY 2008

Hi everyone,

We got back from DisneyWorld last Friday and Aunt Amy and her family came home on Saturday. Grandmom and Pop Pop are still there til the end of the week. Lucky ducks!!

We had a great time with Uncle Ted's mom and dad. They have not been there for about 30 years. Lots has changed. We had fun taking them around and showing them the parks. We even ran out of time and never got to MGM.......oops Hollywood Studios now.

We stayed at the All Stars Music. Our building was Calypso theme.

It was Uncle Ted's mom and dad's 40th wedding anniversary. We went to the Coral Reef restaurant where they had a menu printed with different pictures we emailed down before the trip. We sat by the BIG aquarium window and while we were eating our salads, two scuba divers swam up the window and put up a sign wishing them a happy anniversary. The whole restaurant clapped for them. Very fun!!

We were also celebrating Ted's mom's 60th birthday. He surprised her with a Segway tour of EPCOT. She wore a button most days at the park and so many people wished her a happy birthday. She even got a free lunch at a hot dog stand from a very friendly Disney employee.

We also caught up with Emily, Brandon, Eric, Adam, Aunt Amy, Uncle Steve and their Grandmom Lowe. We all rode the Dinosaur ride in Animal Kingdom. It was the first time for most of them. I get scared every time!! I think there were a few scared with me too!!

Can you see Emily driving in just 3 years. Lookin' very cool!!

Uncle Ted and I realized that we have never ridden the teacups together. I must have as a kid but don't remember. We'll hang on, here we go!!!!!!!!!!

And lastly, while we were down there, Pop Pop was honored as the Veteran of the Day at the Magic Kingdom. He was honored at the flag lowering ceremony where a brass band played and then we all were marching in a parade down MAIN STREET!! Very cool. He got a nice certificate and even a special pin!! Congratulations Pop Pop!! We are all very proud of you.
