Magical vacation memories

Posted on May 8, 2009 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Timing really is everything. Today a package arrived with two pairs of Mickey Mouse ears for the boys. I happened to win a giveaway from MousekeTIPS, the vidcast for Destinations in Florida. Their first weeks giveaway was for a Walt Disney World package that included Mickey Mouse ears, a Pirate Donald stuffed friend and a surprise. Guess what we did when we saw the Mouse Ears? Here is a clue:

Of course, we all took turns. . . even the kids at heart!

Can you tell we are basically ready for Disney World?

So my questions for this week are inspired by our upcoming trip:

What was the most magical vacation that you have been on? Have you ever been to Walt Disney World? If you have, what was your favorite experience.

Chuck E Cheese memories

Posted on April 10, 2009 7:37 am by TheAngelForever

Growing up I can recall going to Chuck E Cheese. We did not go there a lot, but when we did it was a fabulous treat. I loved playing all of the different video games, going on rides, watching shows and earning prizes. Of course, my little brother did not like it at first. He was quite afraid of Chuck E Cheese and would hide under the table.

NHL does not like Chuck E Cheese. We think it has something to do with the costumed rodent. He does not like costumes, which will make Disney World interesting in a few weeks. Thanks to NHL we have not been to Chuck E Cheese in a while. Last Thursday my mother had the day off from work and I mentioned that I had a lot of tokens left from our last visit. She and I went to Chuck E Cheese with JSL.

This was really the first time he had been there since he would romp around and try things. At 23 months old he was a little overwhelmed with all of the items, but thanks to no crowds quickly got used to everything. Eventually he tried a few rides, loves the car driving game and played many games of Skee Ball with me. Here are some photos from our trip.

So my question to you this week, assuming you have been to Chuck E Cheese in the past and recently:

What do you think of the new look at Chuck E Cheese? Do you prefer the old style or the new? If you have never been, what is your favorite arcade game?

BTW – Don’t forget to enter my giveaways for the Exergen Temporal Scanner and Tie Buddies.

ROAR says the lion hat

Posted on April 7, 2009 8:38 am by TheAngelForever

JSL is going to be two in just over a month. For as long as we can remember he has loved wearing hats. If he finds a winter hat in the middle of the summer he puts it on and goes around chanting "hat" over and over again. His love of hats goes even further. He always notices hats on characters. Super Grover’s hat has become a favorite, along with the one on Goofy.

We have not bought JSL a birthday gift yet. Since we will be in Disney World for his big day, we figured we would look for something there. Talk about a hat paradise. We know that there will be plenty of items to pick from that he will love. Whether he wants Goofy ears, Mickey Ears, or any of the other items that Disney now makes they will be there.

The other night JSL found a hat that NHL received at nursery school. Once he placed it on his head he immediately became a lion. Here is my little lion in action:

So my question to you. Do you have any suggestions on where to get more fun hats just in case he does not end up loving the items at Disney World? We would love to have different ones for imaginary play.
