Then it was onto the world of The Lion King. Timon, Pumba, Rafiki, Simba and Nala were all there to help tell the story
all the animals at the end
The last half of the show was all about Tinkerbelle and Pixie Hollow where all of the pixies live
Very colorful finale with Tink flying over head
Waving goodbye to all our Disney friends
So...in the past 5 hours gas has gone from $3.99 to $4.19 a gallon!! Who knows what the morning will bring ?!?
Update: The price hasn't changed much, but several stations are out of gas
We had a great time in Gatlinburg with Jeff's parents. And we hit the ground running when we came home so I'm a little late in getting this up and posted. We stayed in some really nice condos outside Pigeon Forge. (Jeff's parents are part of a timeshare there) On our first day we decided to try a 'easy hike' up to Laural Falls. The info said it was a moderate hike, but suitable for stollers. Sounds like it would be perfect, right? Well it was a paved trail, but hadn't been redone in quite sometime. It was very bumby and had holes here and there. Poor Jeff was a trooper and kept on pushing. We we're all VERY tired by the time we made it to the top. I was impressed that we made it all 1.3 miles climbing slowly upward. Christian walked the whole way!! The highlight of the day was at the bottom of the trail in a little valley of trees...we saw a momma bear and her two cubs. We took a picture, but since we don't have the big zoom lens for my camera you can't see them very well.
Nana & Papa treated us to a trip to the aquarium. It was loads of fun...especially the big tube we walked through while sharks and fish swam all around us!! It was also a very hot day outside so that made for a great indoor activity.
Thanks Nana and Papa
Christian was the second one chosen for child of the week in his classroom. He was able to bring special things to school all week (fav toy, books, etc) and 10 pictures of him were displayed. Mrs. Melissa wrote a story about him too. Since she normally tries to make them child of the week near their birthday we pretended it was Christian's. He never gets to do stuff at school so that was kinda fun. He blew out a candle in his sandwich and I brought popsicles to share with all his new friends.
My son made my heart smile today
When he was getting in the car after school his teacher asked him "What do we bring for show n tell tomorrow Mr. Christian?" and he promptly replied "Something that starts with a B"
I was joking with him and asked if he could bring his sister b/c she starts with a B...would she fit in his bag?
He and Mrs. Melissa looked at each other,laughed and said NOOO together.
Then with hardly missing a beat he said "Mommy, I can bring my Bible...it starts with a B"
Smile on heart...Smile on
