Happy 13th Birthday DEVIN!

Devin is finally a teenager! I'm too young to have a teenager (keep your comments to yourself!)! Devin is now at least 1-2 inches taller than I am and his voice has deepened. My little boy is becoming a man. It makes me really sad and even more proud. What an awesome kid he is.


Barry and I got to spend all day Friday with Devin. Emily was on a field trip. We drove to Gatlinburg, had dinner (Devin ate a HUGE half rack of ribs) and then walked around town. I enjoyed have this time with him and seeing him smile and be silly and have him tease me. I love my baby boy!

Thanksgiving Day - Day 4

We spent Thanksgiving day in the parks. The kids as you can see had fun posing for me in front of the tree right outside of The Mummy. They are such hams.





I had a great time watching these stilt walking mummy men. They would hide behind doors and scare folks as the came out of the mummy store. It was so funny watching them scare the guys and hear the ladies scream.


OH NO!!! Its a shark.





More photography and modeling practice. I think those cheerleading facials are getting good.










We got to hang out at the pool for awhile too. It was so relaxing.
Thanksgiving dinner was spent at the hotel and it was so good. It was even better because I did not have to cook it or clean it up! I'm liking that.
We had a great time and I am so glad we were able to go and spend some great family time together. I know soon the kids are going to be grown and they are no longer going to want to hang with us.




Day 3 - Universal

Can you find Emily and Devin? They cannot wait to be real drivers! I'm AFRAID!


Margarittaville for Dinner. YUMMY!

Then to see The Blue Man Group. As we walked in they gave us long strands of tissue paper to decorate ourselves. Aren't we cute?



The show as amazing (no photography allowed). I was completely entertained for 2 hours and would love to see them again. After the show they came out and we got to get up close and personal and they posed with us. I remember touching his back and he was soaked.


My honey could be a Blue Man!


Day 2 - Busch Gardens

Bary was able to get us tickets to Busch Gardens on Tuesday. It was a beautiful day. While Barry and Devin picked up our tickets, Emily was practicing her photography and modeling skills.







We decided Emily's hair looks like Giraffe antlers.

This roller coaster is Montu. The kids really enjoyed it. As you can see, I sat this one out.


Meet my ancient Children.




Because we did not have to pay to get into Busch, we decided to take a safari where we could feed the giraffe's. This was amazing! I had no idea that they were so majestic. They move so gracefully and smoothly, I had no idea their necks could move like that. Check out those eye lashes too. Amazing animals.























Check it out - I went to Timbuktu!



It was a ton of fun to do the bumper cars with the kids! I enjoyed smashing everyone!




The next picture is pretty cool with Emily and the gorilla both leaning on the glass.

Devin really enjoyed riding Sheekra. It was straight down 200 feet straight down. No way was I riding that! He rode the second time by himself.
On our way back home we stopped at Downtown Disney for some Ghiradelli Ice Cream. Man that was TERRIFIC!!!!
