Haven’t decided on family yet, my husband is signed up for 10K but he is having an Achilles issue so not sure if he will be able to run or not. Our kids spring break is the week before, so there is a chance I go solo, also a chance they all come…I’m running the challenge with my best friends husband, they rented a house so may do that, I’m currently booked at wilderness lodge, but if I go solo I’ll probably switch to a value,
Haha, sounds like you are still in the early stages of figuring out what is going to happen. But that's the thing with runDisney. You have to book the races so early, that you tend to plan everything else after the fact.
We're staying at WL, so if you keep that reservation let me know!
We are due for a bad winter. It has been a few years since we had a lot of snow or several really cold days. I just looked up the Farmers Almanac (we seem to use this around here as a gage to the winter) and it says above normal snowfall and normal to colder then normal temps.
Oh dear. I really hope not, for your sake.
I lots of family not that far from there in Lake Charles and Sulphur.
I didn't realize how close that area was to Texas until we left. We'd been driving less than half an hour and were like, "Oh, will you look at that, we're in Texas already."
This was the first time Alex had ever been in Louisiana before (I lived in Shreveport for 2 years) and I had a blast listening to him try to read billboards and then tell him the correct pronunciation. He also spoke with my uncles and cousins and is now dying to get back to LA around Easter time so he can try a crawfish boil.
Welcome back!!! Sounds like a summer of great family memories!!
Thank you, it's nice being back and discussing Disney again.
We stayed at home for Labor Day weekend, and it felt a little strange not to be traveling. Haven't had that in awhile!
What has been the hardest thing for the kids to adjust to?
For Landon, it's been not having as much stuff to do in the area. He misses hopping on a train and going into a city. (Cambridge and Peterborough were about half an hour away from us. London, about an hour.) He's having to learn how to live a little bit slower paced life.
For Evie, it's all about the school. Every morning it's a fight to get her to go. We hear "I hate school" everyday. She despised having to start over. In England, there were only two classes per grade, so she basically went through PreK, Kinder, and First with the same friends. Plus, she was involved in a lot of the after school clubs and basically knew anybody and everybody. So being the new kid has been incredibly tough on her.
She has seemed to be making new friends, and she likes her teacher, I just think she doesn't want to let go of what she used to have. But she'll get there. She starts cheerleading soon and has a couple kids her age on our street that she plays with in the evening, so I believe by Christmas she'll be in a much better place.
I have been dragging my feet on starting our July trip. But slowly getting my pictures in order.
I understand. If/when you decide to start a report for July, I'll be excited to read along. I loved seeing the photos you shared during your trip and look forward to hearing the stories behind them.
