Easter








We had a wonderful easter. Boomer had to work though. But he did get to come hom and see what the Easter Bunny brought Grant. I wanted to share with you Grant's easter bucket. My friend Emily paints them. Her site is emilyhorndesigns.blogspot.com. She is fantastic and does a variety of things!

Disney World!








Well, we are in Disney World even as I speak! However the first day was horrible. I won't go into the whole spill but you see my mom won a trip.....supposedly....enough said!!! We had to sit through a seminar, which we knew about, but it was l...o...n...g. Luckily we had a good guy. Grant was with us and wanted to color or play with cars, everything but sit still for 90 min. LOL!! I knew that wouldn't happen in hopes they would have mercy and let us leave early. Yeah, well, not so much! Everytime I looked away to tend to him, the man would stop talking until I made eye contact with him again!! So irritating! BUT that wasn't even the first part of it! When we got here the people who told us we won and do this seminar said we could choose from certain hotels to stay at, and we did. However, they put us where they wanted to. Not the hotel where we said. That hotel was so ratty! The carpet was wet, bathroom cabinet doors wouldn't shut and halfway hanging off the hinges, paint peeling off the walls and hanging off by at least 6 inches and the walls were stained. It was NASTY! Therefore, we decided to leave and stay somewhere else even if we had to pay for it. So we did! Then we went to the seminar and did all of that stuff. After it was all said and done, we got 2 adult passes for a day at Disney, which we knew was apart of the deal. Oh and listen to this, if we weren't crazy enough, when we switched hotels, the lady talked us into yet ANOTHER SEMINAR the same day!!!!! You heard me! We had one in the morning and one at 12:30. BUT we got 4 tickets for 195 as opposed to 320! So I guess it was worth it but THANK GOD it is over!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night, we decided to go to Downtown Disney. We went to the infamous T-Rex cafe. It was a blast. You must go. Grant was so fascinated! There were huge dinos everywhere that moved and roared. They had different parts of the building set up as different scenes such as, an ice cave, rainforest type area and an aquatic area. And at every 20 min or so the lights would dim and probe lights began to flicker and the dinos "came to life"! They roared and moved loud! Grant just stared and looked at each of them and said "Wow, Cool!"
He had the best time! We saw a statue of Buzz and he about died! SO we took a pic with him last night along with Mr. Potato Head and Donald.
NOW the real fun begins!! I can't wait to see his face today!! We go to Magic Kingdom!! I will try to post more later!!
