Well, home again, home again, jigity-jog. Our long anticipated trip to Disney has come and gone. Wow! I sound really nostalgic, don't I? Okay...Take two. Where back from Disney World, or Orlando! Yay! It was a really fun trip, that included most if not all of the summer trip basic must do's. We swam, we shopped, we ate out, we watched TCM, and we went on a couple of small adventures. Yes I'll tell you all about our adventures, and why watching TCM (Turner Classic Movies) is such a big deal; hold on.
First lets just say that the six hour car ride up, and basicly any time we hopped into the car, short or long ride, was my favorite part of the trip. WHY? No, I'm not delusional that really was my favorite part. Every time we got in the car Sarah Ann would do a documentary video on her cellphone. From the necessary holding up of the van ceiling, to random short clips like the one entitled "giggle cheek" (Yeah, that one was a doozy).
We also seemed to always have these giggling fits whenever we were in the car. Not sure why, but it made for some hilarious moments when no one could seem to control their laughter that could last for minutes at a time. Mom and Dad would look back at us as if to ask "what's so funny?" We would promptly respond to those looks with "It's a kid thing; you wouldn't understand." Than the hilarious laughter would start up again, and Mom and Dad would just have to be satisfied cause nobody could speak just than.
Of course there were quiet moments too; like when all three laptops, that had been brought, were all plugged in each playing a different movie, and each carefully plugged with a pair or two of ear buds. Or when everyone settled down to read or listen to a book. Other various car activities include coloring, listening to music, playing with action figures or your fingers, etc. We are pretty creative kids; the things we found to do in that car, you don't even want to know.
Okay, so what's the deal with TCM? We have cable, just not (What Mediacom would call) deluxe cable. So lamely enough, we don't get that channel at home. All day every day, from the minute we walked in the door of our four bedroom condo, all five TV's were tuned to catch every minute of every black and white we could. Now we weren't necessarily watching the whole time, but it was definitely on. Sarah Ann said once "this is great! I never miss a second," as she walked from the kitchen downstairs to our room upstairs after breakfast one morning. Mind you she was being sarcastic, never the less my point is made.
As for our mini adventures, I think this post is long enough (some might say conveniently). No worries though I'll get to those.~Mary Lou
