It was a totally awesome experience. My family was Allison, Landon, Brennan, Lexi, Caelyn, McKenna, & Rosalee. Can't wait to do it again!

Disney 2018
Down here with the Syracuse Nordmans, the Dibbles, and on Sunday, some Nuns for good measure. Left Corning Wednesday and drive to Syracuse. Early Three-day for to Orlando. Dinner at Trex at 4 and we just made it!
-Staying at Carribean Resorts. Great weather the first couple days - needed a jacket the evening Thursday and Friday.
-Saturday the boys were off at the resort as Allison has to go to dance and Annie went with Alexandra to see Allison. Boys went swimming and did laundry.
-Sunday started in a rush as Allison has to get ready for the dance parade, and we went to magic kingdom. It got really hot, very quickly which wasn't in any of our long term forecasts so we had to buy sunglasses, hard, and shorts. But we toughed it through. Kids stayed up late swimming with the Updykes.
-Monday was Hollywood Studios. It was hot today and even a few rain spells. Star Wars tour and other attractions were awesome. Tower if Terror - the first time for Brian and Mommy was a success though stressful. Lunch at the Hollywood & Vine was fantastic. The Rock n Roller coaster kept getting shut down but we were able to get on later in the night. The Star Wars rides & attractions were really cool. We ended the night going to Beauty & The Beast plus the Frozen sing-a-long. Then got drenched in a monsoon while rushing for the bus.
-Tuesday left at 5:30 am to get on bus & get home.
PHEW! Tense moments overshadowed by all the fun.

Glad THAT's over!
So Friday night I left work a bit early to race home & get Allison to her dance recital practice for the Elmira studio. We got home around 9:30pm. While we were doing that, Annie took the boys to the school variety show rehearsal. They were done much sooner.
Saturday morning Annie, her dad, & the boys went to Centerway for a 1-mile walk in support of a local charity. It was promoted by Father Lou Brown and sounds like they had fun. I drove Allison back out to Elmira for rehearsal with the Watkins Glen studio. Brennan missed a soccer festival with everything going on. Allison & I were in Elmira until 1:30pm at which point we raced home, let the dog out, got Annie a coffee, and then went to the school variety show - she was in act # 1 and 12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgx44u_HDmU). After that it was the "cast" party at the real school which went until 8pm. Then we spent a fun hour or two packing / re-packing / and re-packing for Sunday because...
At 10am I left the house w/ the boys & took them to the grandparents. They would eventually go to church w/ Dudey & have McDonalds for lunch. After dropping them off I put gas in the car and then dashed home to pick up Annie & Allison. We headed to Elmira for the recital with the Watkins Glen studio. I dropped them off around 11:15, then went to Wegmans for flowers & subs. Recital was from 1-3:30 - I really screwed up the Daddy / Daughter dance. We didn't go too far after that because...
Leslies School of Dance team showcase (the traveling team that goes to competitions around the state) was from 5-6. At 6, the Elmira studio recital began. It was much bigger and went until 9:30pm. The boys & grandparents showed up around 6pm and stayed the whole time. I used up my cash buying snacks for them as they hadn't eaten dinner. After packing up Allison & driving everyone home, the boys were starving so I made mac & cheese from a box - not happy about that but it was 10:15. Then I looked at my phone & saw the reminder that I had to go to work to do the period closing. I got almost everyone into some bed and left right around 11. I vowed to be home within an hour, but the recent server migration is really slowing things down. I didn't get to leave until after midnight.
I made it home safely, took care of the pets, and went to bed. My alarm woke me at 6am, though I didn't go running or walking or anything. I eventually folded laundry, got cereal from the store, and made breakfast. I even made it to work and put in a full day (add in the time from the previous night). Soccer practice tonight but thankfully, work has been very dull and slow which is a nice break from the weekend :-)
