I hope you guys get some additional funding. I had heard about the strike. I am a big supporter of giving teachers and our kid what they need to learn! Being from Jersey we have high taxes but a lot of it goes to the schools.
We are back in school tomorrow and it looks as though we won't have to cancel our trip this summer to make up days, but I'm not too optimistic about what our legislature did. They made some gestures in the form of a teacher pay raise, but not a lot of excess funding to handle things like having 35 kids in a class or not getting new textbooks in over 12 years. So, we shall see!
The winter has been crazy!!!! We were to get snow this weekend too, but at the last minute they changed there mind. I am ready for summer!!!!
I'm ready for summer too!
Look at DH1's face!!!! Pure Joy!!!!
I know. It's one of those "this is why we got o Disney" pictures!
So, so so sweet! Sounded like a great breakfast! The food her always sound really good.
We always love it. For some reason I didn't schedule it this summer though. We are trying to get to some new places!
Looks like a great breakfast at Crystal Palace! I still have yet to try the puffed French toast, so that’s a must in August!
Oh my, it is so good! I mean it is like having a funnel cake for breakfast! What could be better?
Rides on the TTA are so much fun with the whole family! My kids always act scared when we go through the dark parts.
DS1 gets kind of spooked too. He is a clingy one who always wants mom or dad holding him, but it's kind of nice on one hand.
DS5 is too cute meeting Buzz! Look at that smile! Don’t you love how they can talk you into treats?
He loved Buzz and it was one of those spur of the moment, unplanned things that turned out really great. And yes, he is good at talking us into stuff!
Your pics made me hungry for Crystal Palace breakfast! I love that meal. We are doing lunch this time on out last day. We haven't done the people mover since our first trip in 2012. I'm going to make the crew do it again this year.
It was a great meal and yes, you have to make them all do the TTA. It is so much fun to pile the whole family on it and ride!
I'm so tired of the teacher walkout! I know its necessary but we are 3 1/2 hoursfrom OKC. My husband is getting up most days at 5:30 to drive a bus up there and back. He is out local OEA president and is inundated with calls and texts and groupme's. He's also meeting with admin regularly. He is also beginning campaign for House Dist 3. Our Rep has voted against everything and was going to be unopposed for re-election so he decided to run against him. My 3 teenagers are at home all day making messes LOL. All the people saying this is our 2nd Spring Break are full of crap! This is much harder than a regular work week!
It was so stressful! And I'm not even sure how much good it did. I think the best thing that came of it is that we have a bunch of people who love education, like your husband, that are now running for office. That is the only way things are truly going to change and our state can get to where we are successful in education. We have so many great educators that it is sad we don't have the tools necessary to do the job effectively!
Great updates! I just read that the guac is now an extra charge and not on the topping bar anymore
Oh no! I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me. I can see as crowded as that place gets how it could get abused!
