I wanted to post some photos and stories that I received from maddiepandfriends group member Claire Bear. You see, she just returned from her first family vacation and said it was SO cool! I absolutely cannot WAIT for my first family vacation. Dad is already planning it (he's such a planner) and told me we'll probably go to Florida, just like Claire Bear, for spring training next season. I just know I'll get tons of autographs! How can they possibly turn me down?! I'm just a BABY!
Claire Bear (I'm going to call you 'CB' for short now that everyone knows who you are, K?) went to Disney World, and also went to her Uncle Nick's wedding. I KNOW, I'm as jealous as all of you are! FRICKING Disney World! Totally awesome! Unfortunately, she wasn't able to ride many of the rides since she was "not this tall" (I had visions of her sitting on her mom's lap, Britney-style, cruising through Space Mountain), but CB did cop some serious SWAG. Here is a pic of her in her whip with a Minnie doll she scored in the Magic Kingdom:
Minnie should probably be buckled in as well (safety first!), but it is a really cute pic all the same :) BTW - Great smile CB! You convey just the right amount of excitement and joy! Very photogenic! From what she said, it sounded like her and her family just had a super great time on their vacation. Almost everything went off without a hitch, "almost" being the key word in that phrase. You see, they drove to Florida from Massachusetts (SO FAR!) and, unfortunately, had a little truck "trouble" on the return trip. While driving through Georgia, CB and her family suddenly heard a really funny noise, but weren't sure what it was. Her dad blamed it on the "roads" down there, but her mom was worried it was something more serious. After a bit of "discussion", they pulled over and realized that they had a FLAT TIRE (CURSES!)! Here is the pic CB sent in of her dad and the flat tire while they were parked in a Microtel parking lot:
Her dad might be smiling in the pic, but we don't think he was too happy about the overall situ. Apparently, he had a super tough time getting the old tire off of the truck, an activity that required much more effort than expected. LSS - CB's dad started making some of the same sounds and using some of the same words that MY dad made when he was assembling my totally cool boppies, so CB ended up spending some time at the local McDonald's with her mom while her dad finished the job. It seemed he really needed some "alone time" to concentrate, so CB and her mom thought moving to an alternate location would probably be best. CB and I laughed and laughed about how frustrated our dads get over these things!Thanks for sharing the pics and the insider info Claire Bear! Someday when we're older and able to drive, maybe we can plan our own road trip and show our dads how it is done ;)
I think I'm going to take a break, then hit you up with the traditional MaddieP mailbag later today. "Two blogs in one day?!" you say? Yes, that is what I say! Unless of course mom starts to "feel funny" again, then it'll be up in the air. The mailbag will be very "reading/book heavy" this week since some maddiepandfriends group members have expressed concern over the strong focus on television from last week. Hey, I am forced to absorb a variety of media, my readers request, no demand, it!
Later......
