Gettin High with Grandma!!!!

And our summer tour continues.....


Parasailing at WDW

Ok, so Kerri will kill me for that title!!!! LOL...just the same, we were high!!! High with excitement for our trip up in the sky. I seriously cant believe it was my idea to do this since I'm such a white knuckle flyer!! But hey, I understand this! It was awesome, Emily had as much fun as I did. It's so strange up there, very calm.....until the boat changes direction then it feels like your going to stall out....but you dont! We went out with another couple that went up, a Dad and his daughter, she was about Emily's age and a single guy that went up too. We were lucky that the Dad used our camera and took some shots of us on our journey. This was fun, I really like doing some of these off the wall things with Emily. Cant wait for the Keys and our wave runner adventure!!! Let the good times roll!!!!!


Here is Emily and I before we headed out to the boat.
Here's us getting on the boat.

Dancing with the Stars!!!!!


Last Sunday, Emily and I drove to Peoria, IL to spend the night and go to the tour date for Dancing With The Stars.


It was AWESOME!!!! The stars were Joey Fatone, Joey McIntyre and Joey Lawrence. They all looked terrific, Joey F. is so funny and fun to watch, Joey Lawrence is soooo buff!!! And Joey Mac was also terrific although I'm not so familiar with him. The pro dancers, all I can say is they were incredible. I dont think I've ever seen anyone is such awesome shape. The girls are all so beautiful and wonderful dancers, you can't even hate them!! We dressed all up and stayed at an old hotel downtown about 1/2 block from the civic center, which was nice to be able to just walk there. There were tons of people around and we got to meet a few nice groups.

I paid a little extra and got one of the tables on the dance floor, oh man was it worth it. Our table was in the second row and very good. I noticed a table to my right that was right up front along the stage that remained empty for the night, I told Emily if it was still empty at the break, we were making a move on it! The lights came back up and we made our move. A few minutes later another lady came over and asked if two of her friends could come and share our table as one of the ladies was having a birthday. Sure thing, but if we get busted we all go back to our original seats. The two remaining ladies took our old seats. The two ladies that sat with us were named Teri and Carrie...how funny is that!!! They all crawled out of a stretched limo when we walked up, so we met them right away.


Here is a shot of us before our night....we clean up good huh?




These are our original table mates.


And this is our new group!


Were'nt we nice and close!!!

Dancing to Footloose.





Joey Fatone saw Emily trying to hone in on him for a pic with her phone, he stopped to pose, but she got so flustered, she missed the shot and you can see how good I did!!
