The summer time in Orlando can be down right hot and humid. As someone that spent most of the late June honeymoon in 90+ degree temperatures and recalls August adventures, you have to think about things to help the Disney Days of Summer when you visit during those hot and steamy days. Here are some possibilities to help keep cool and go along with the theme for this week.

A week ago today, I was on a field trip with my son’s class. I was very excited to be headed to a new place that I had never been to before. It was a chance to be with my son, really meet his classmates, and explore the Mabee Farm Historic Site. The night before the trip, I was writing a post about setting up my new Windows Phone as a member of the Verizon Lifestyle Bloggers. I used my camera to take some photos to use.
The next morning was hectic as we prepared for what would be a very wet and cold day outside at Mabee Farm. While loading up my things, I tossed my camera in my backpack. When we arrived in the barn for the introduction by the curator of the museum, I tried to take a photo. My camera buzzed because it’s memory was filled. I opened it up and then realized my SD card was at home.
This is where my current smartphone, RAZR HD, saved the day. I had kept this phone with me since I had a case for it and knew it would be safe in the rain. I was also more comfortable using it at this point. Most important with this scenario, it had another memory card in it and I knew I would be safe taking lots of photos. All of the photos above were taken with my RAZR. This phone helped me to capture memories of the kids learning about chamber pots, life on a colonial New York State farm, and using sheep to make yarn.
Since Aloha Friday is being brought back, this weeks question is:
Have you ever been caught without your camera working and had to use your cell phone? Let me know what happened and how you made out. I was very lucky that I captured some great memories of our time on the Mohawk River in colonial times.
Disclosure: As a member of the Verizon Lifestyle Bloggers, I receive different devices to check out in my life. The RAZR HD was sent to me several months ago and my go to phone in a pinch. There was no other compensation. I am a long time Verizon customer, and all opinions are my own.

Father’s Day is this weekend and so many of my memories of Walt Disney World include the fathers in my life. Magical moments going on Space Mountain with my father and seeing him experiencing the wonder with my boys for two trips. In addition to this, I have watched TechyDad bond with the boys in Orlando. Here are few of my favorite memories from my last trip with Nana, Papa, TechyDad, and the kids.

June is a special month for magical Walt Disney World memories in my life. TechyDad and I were married in June twelve years ago. Not only did we have a Mickey and Minnie Mouse on our bridal table, we went to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon. For over a week, I introduced TechyDad to the wonder of Walt Disney World since he had never been before. We went on several behind the scene tours, ate amazing meals, and explored Animal Kingdom for the first time as a married couple. So I take you back to some photos of our honeymoon. I do wish we had more photos of us, but sadly it was before PhotoPass.

Growing up, I started taking French as my foreign language requirement in school. At the time, a lot of schools in New York did this because we are relatively close to Quebec. I still remember a trip to Epcot when I was in middle school. I fell in love with the Eiffel Tower and saw an item in the gift store in France that I wanted, but I was told to wait. Later on, I still wanted the Eiffel Tower item and my mother let me walk all the way around World Showcase on my own to get the item. While the topic from Focused on the Magic is Celebrate Your Country, I am sharing memories of France at Epcot because of my magical memories there.
