What to ride?

Here we are at some of our favorite rides......RyRy LOVED the new Toy Story ride at Hollywood Studios - we rode it a couple of times everyday.

One of my favorites is the Tea Cups!! Alice was there riding them when we were waiting in line. Shannon for some unknown reason decided to ride them with us. He is usually not a fan of them.....you will see why!

This next pic is Shannon about to blow chunks......he didn't, but he probably could have! LOL!

Happy 8th Birthday....

On RyRy's birthday we went to City Hall at the Magic Kingdom and got her this huge button that said it was her bday. All of the case members at all of the parks wished her happy birthday. The driver of one of the buses gave her this awesome tinker bell pin - it was a great day. We had reservations for lunch in Cinderella's castle! It was great - as you enter the castle you have your picture taken with Cinderella and you get a package of them to take with you (sorry no copy of that one scanned). Then during the meal Cinderella's friends mingle with everyone. It was fabulous! All of them signed a birthday card for RyRy and her autograph book. She was presented with a birthday cupcake - she loved it! We also met Fairy Godmother hanging out behind the castle. Later at Hollywood Studios RyRy got to spend some time with Prince Caspien - he was really cute! There we had dinner at the Sci Fi Dine In. It was really cool - you eat in old cars at the 'drive in'. She had a great bday!

It's time to get away.....

So for some wild and crazy reason Shannon and I agreed to take RyRy to Disney for her 8th birthday. She was really specific - she wanted to be there on her exact birthday. It was an adventure to say the least. We had a good time, and bonus is that RyRy only missed one day of school because her school closed down for the swine flu! Here we are on the plane to Orlando. Once we got checked in, we headed to the Magic Kingdom. While we waited for the parade to start RyRy jumped rope with some cast members - over and over again. Each time they would give her a card that says 'I jumped rope at the Magic Kingdom'.

Family Friendly Bike Show....

Danny (RyRy's tumbling coach) put together a Family Friendly Bike Show to benefit Wild About Cheer. People could enter their bikes into the show for prizes. We had cheer demonstrations and tons of venders selling things. The Booster Club was there selling food & drinks. It was a lot of fun....hard work, but fun!

6th Annual WAC Family Picnic - Carnival Style

I am way behind...but anyway! We had the 6th Annual WAC Family Picnic. This year we did it Carnival Style which was total fun! Best one yet. The family picnic is the kick start to the new competitive season where all of the new cheerleaders and their families get to meet the returning cheerleaders. I have to say....who knew how hard it is to make cotten candy? Okay....it's not hard to make it....just very hard to get it on the paper stick thingy!

We had a jump house, carnival games with prizes, the cotten candy machine, a sno cone machine, a pinata, and tons of food. It was awesome....until I had to help clean up! LOL!
