We made it back from Disney late on Friday night. We decided to leave on Friday instead of Saturday because it was going to be raining all day. We arrived in Houston without a hitch and then found out they had canceled some Dallas flights that morning. Needless to say we sat in the Houston airport for NINE long hours trying to get home. We knew we would get there eventually so we just stayed put. Trying to fly on a Friday, non-rev, is never easy. For those of you who don’t know the terminology non-rev aka FREE! We were all tired by the time we got home, but I have to say the kids were real troopers. Thank goodness they have remodeled that airport and we had some decent choices for our two meals.
We all had a great time and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. We’ve already decided we want to go back in two years. There is so much to see and the fireworks and parades were awesome. Kynlee enjoyed all the rides, especially the roller coasters. The faster the better and she could not get enough. Then we have Carson. Poor Carson had to spend some time waiting while two of us took Kynlee on a few rides. We tried to find something for him to do in the meantime. I say poor Carson because we did drag that kid on a few rides he really did not want any part of. We only did this on a few that we knew once he got on it would be fine, and then there is always that one that in the end you feel kind of bad about. The last ride was the Hotel Tower of Terror that you ride in an elevator to an old spooky hotel and the elevator drops a few stories and goes back up and drops again. You know the way a cat looks if you drop it and all fours are stretched to the max and their face has that terror in it, well that’s pretty much how he looked during that ride. At this point Scott and I are feeling like awful parents. In the end, he was just fine and didn’t think it was that awful! We certainly didn’t put him on there kicking and screaming just a lot of protests. He has never been one for fast rides and may never like them.
They had a great time getting autographs from the characters and having their pictures taken. I honestly didn’t think they would get into that very much. I was wrong and they were excited every time we happened upon a character and had to get that autograph. If the lines were too long they didn’t care to wait so that worked out great for us. J
On our last day Kynlee got a great surprise. In the afternoon after being at Epcot all day we decided to head back over to Hollywood Studios for a few last rides. Once we got there and were headed to a ride we saw a small group starting to gather in the middle of the street with a cameraman. As we got closer we realized that the Cheetah Girls had arrived to film a small segment. We got to watch the filming and take some pictures; however, they were not signing autographs. One of the PR ladies with Disney walked up to Kynlee and asked for her name. She took a picture over to the girls who each autographed it for her. She was the only one we saw get this special autographed picture. Needless to say she was on cloud nine and thought this was the perfect end to our trip.

Not the best picture, but they weren't posing!Here is a picture of the kids at the T-Rex Café in Downtown Disney. It’s brand new and the kids really liked it. It’s owned by the same company that has the Rainforest Café so the set up is the same except with dinosaurs instead of the rain forest. It was really neat.
Next up…… Halloween!!
