Saying GOOD-BYE!

Yesterday we started our day with our Stampin' UP! family at breakfast.
Then back to our room to pack up!
Once we checked out of our room we had to get out bags checked to go to the airport.
 THEN WE HUNG OUT WITH FRIENDS & SAID MORE GOOD-BYES.
We hung out with my dear friend Diana Gibbs, her husband Jeff & son Eric. 
They joined us & we all went to ESPN for great burgers, foot long hot dogs & chicken nuggests for lunch.
It was great to get to visit with them! 
Check out Brayden's Mickey Mouse plate!!
AND it was cute watching Jeff show Brayden some magic tricks!
 Diana Gibbs, Heather Summers & me (terrible picture of me!)  
They are some of my very dear friends!!
Saying GOOD BYE is never fun.....but many of us will connect & see each other again in July at convention thankfully!!  I can't wait!!!
Nathan Summers & Brayden saying their good-bye too!!
Just LOVE this picture.  
They got along so good.  :)
 Brayden LOVES waterfalls. 
This was a beautiful one in the Orlando Airport.
Lots of hours waiting in the airports with flights delayed again....but thankfully arrived home safely around midnight.

ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

SO MUCH FUN!!!

Thursday we hung out at the hotel all day!  
Walked around on the Broadwalk, swam, took a nap, etc.
That evening we had our Stampin' UP! get-to-gether & the kids had a Fun Night Out to attend!

Here are some pictures of our day on Thursday.......
 Brayden is swimming in the pool & playing on the playground!!

Here are pictures of the Kids Night Out!
He was very worried about attending- so of course Grandma was too.
But he had a blast!
Oh  my gosh.....we walked into this huge room at our hotel, full of games, crafts, food & much more!
It was like a kids heaven!! 
When we came back to get him he said- "That didn't take you too long.  I had LOTS OF FUN!!" 
These were magical words to my ears!
Below he is standing by their supper table with Mickey & Minney.
He made a balloon sward!
Did some cool sand art projects.
And they even got some neat Disney tattoos. 




Stampin' UP! took us on a bus to Hollywood Studios where we attended the stunt show of Indiana Jones.  SO COOL!  Our president Rich was involved, plus a hand full of other demonstrators they called from the stands.  My friend, Christy Kimball got chosen to go down on stage.  See her & all of the other demonstrators in the costumes in the first picture.  Then magically they started moving parts of stage props & much to our surprise started setting up our supper.  We enjoyed an unbelievable supper & great company!!  They had photo booths set up all around the room & we got to take funny stunt pictures.  What a perfect ending to a great week with Stampin' UP!  They are an amazing company!!  They have brought so much to my life.  I've worked hard to earn trips & go places with them I'd never have gotten to go otherwise.  PLUS I've made treasured friendships with other demonstrators from far.  AND I've gotten to meet some wonderful customers over the years that I treasure & have become dear friends & like family to me too!!  Thanks again to all of my dear customer/friends that helped me to earn this amazing trip!!  I have TONS to share when I get home.  Can't wait to see you!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Our day at Hollywood Studios.....

Yesterday morning we got up & went to breakfast with our Stampin' UP! family.  We then headed to the Stampin' UP! hospitality room where we spin the wheel for a prize, get filled up with candy & visit with friends before we headed out to Hollywood Studios for the day.

Christy was playing rock, paper, scissors with Brayden. 

Then we headed back to our room to gather our things & head out for a boat ride!  We were on our way to Hollywood Studios for the day.


The highlight of the day for Brayden was getting to go to Disney Jr. Live.  He loves this show.  We sat on the floor & many of the kids participated by singing & dancing along.  It was cute!!

Here is Brayden driving us around in this old car.

We saw the Lion King play, The Muppets Play & SO MUCH MORE!!

Back to the hotel we went for a little nap, a snack & then off to the pool for a few hours.

Then my guys hung out together & had pizza & movie time & I attended our Stampin' UP! share night from 9 to 11 p.m.  It was great getting to see many of my demonstrator friends & visiting.  The highlight of our night was Shelli telling us that the shipment of new catalogs arrived earlier than planned & we all got it!  Can't wait to share with everyone on June 1st!!!  Lots to look forward to sharing with you!!

Today we are hanging out at the hotel, swimming, visiting, etc.
Tonight we have a Stampin' UP! supper/evening for the adults at Hollywood Studios and the kids have a fun play date with pizza, a movie, face painting, etc.
We leave tomorrow.  So hope to find time to post some more before we leave.

ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

Our BD boy, Magic Kingdoms castle, Animal Kingdom & more.......

Last night we went to Magic Kingdom to watch the lighted parade, light show & fireworks. 
It was amazing!! 
Here is a beautiful picture of the castle.  

Here is our birthday boy with his Mickey Mouse cake!!

What am amazing way to spend your birthday at Disney!

We spent our day in Animal Kingdom on Tuesday with Christy & Keith Kimball.
 Keith, Deke, Brayden & I all went on the water ride.
WOW- we got soaked!  But it was fun!
Brayden loved it so much that he talked Papa & Keith into going on it again with him.

Right outside one of the bathrooms there were water sprinklers.
Heck- he was already wet- so why not- right!
He had a ball playing in the water.

Papa & Deke on our African Safari ride.

This is our Safari bus.
Saw LOTS of animals & beautiful scenery.
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!
