Desoto Caverns


So we decided to try Desoto Caverns out with family passes this year.  And this blog covers our first two trips down there.  The kids really have a blast, and with the family passes, we get to do all of the attractions each time.  The attractions are what the kids have always wanted to do, but we haven't ever done.  And can you guess their favorite...panning for gems.  They LOVE this.  We get a cave tour each visit also, but I don't think we will do that but once every ... year.











These guns were air powered and apparently are set up to aim directly at the Dads eyes and testicles, because both were pounded during this assault on our pirate ship.  Sam and Davis are much smaller targets, especially as I was getting nailed trying to help Belle shoot balls directly at the ceiling above Sam and davis.  Belle could have played in the beach ball area all day, and we all started laughing at her continuous giggles while in the area.

More Around the House



Just a few pictures from around the house over the last couple of months.  The piles of clothes were finally cleaned out for the big consignment sale.  Our attic is not clear yet, but this was a big pile taken out.  I still can not believe Magan got through all of this stuff, but she did really well at the sale.







Belle likes to feed her bear like mommy feeds the baby.  And can you tell she like to dress up in some of these pictures.  And apparently Magan lets the kids clean the table with shaving cream...looked like fun to me.

DisneyWorld Day 10 - Chef Mickey's and The Drive Home

We began our morning getting packed up to leave.  I am always wondering how we are going to fit in the van but we always do.  






We met a family from Chicago waiting for our seat at Chef Mickey's, and I think Davis introduced us to them as he was chilling in this seat he made for himself.  We had a really cool area with a nice view and kind of secluded area that gave us some good times with all of the characters.  It was a great way to end such a dream vacation.  Truly met all expectations.  This is the way to stay if you got the dough (or if your company helps with some of the bill).  And I am happy to say that this is the last of these blogs for this trip...which makes me very happy.
















On the way home we thought we lost Pooh Bear, but found him several days later wedged into the middle of the van.
