Disney 2008: Day 4 {Hollywood Studios}

February 15, 2008 /

Img_0196sl Img_0198sl Since the night before was so super late (everyone didn’t get to bed until around 1am) we took it kind of slow and went over to Hollywood Studios, aka MGM on Wednesday, February 6th for a not so jam packed kinda day. We can usually do HS in half a day, so this was perfect.Img_0201sl  Img_0186sl Img_0189sl Img_0191sl Img_0192sl Img_0194sl

The big boys and I rode Star Tours after watching the Jedi Training Academy show. We tried to get Timmy picked for the show, but I think he was still too little. But I know that he is a real pro with the lightsaber after all that practice at home whacking his brothers and he could’ve handled Darth Vader no problem. But since then we have been practicing the moves at home (activate. cut to the shoulder. step back and duck. cut to the other leg. cut to the head. deactivate.) and he’s got it all except the activate part. He’ll be ready next year for sure.Img_0177x Img_0178x 

We also caught a few characters while John and the big boys went to the artist academy to draw. Mater and Lightning McQueen were big hits with Timmy- this was his first time seeing them in person. It’s hard to hug a car, but he managed. We also saw Woody and Buzz- TOGETHER! He was sooooo happy about that. And I made it a point to thank them both for 2 great movies that we watch almost daily.Img_0204sl Img_0205sl Img_0209sl Img_0213sl Img_0214sl Img_0215sl Img_0217sl Img_0218sl

The big boys caught up with the Incredibles (aka Uncle George) and here is a picture of Jack discussing the fact that Uncle George looks just like Mr. Incredible and how I did the pictures of the two of them together. Mr. Incredible seemed to find it quite amusing.  Img_0183x Img_0185x

We all went over to the Indiana Jones Stunt show which was so much fun. Everyone was pretty rivited and they really enjoyed it. The boys cracked up quite a bit, and Timmy was doing that "heh, heh, heh" laugh when things blew up or people got shot. He really enjoyed "Indiana JOOOOOnes". It’s too bad he’s still too young for all of these movies (star wars, indy, pirates of the carribean) cause he would love them. We had dinner at Prime Time Cafe where I had the BEST chocolate milk shake. Ever. It was delicious. And the man at the table next to us was very, very funny and very misbehaved, so they made him wear a "Mr. Trouble" dunce cap. Hysterical. And John got a "clean plate" sticker since he was a good boy and ate all his food.

We got back to the hotel at a reasonable hour this night and I took a few shots of Timmy in the 0’s of the years outside the main building and some by the 3 of the jukebox to celebrate his birthday which was coming up the next day. Stay tuned for day 5’s report tommorrow.Img_0224sl Img_0226sl Img_0230sl Img_0232x Img_0234x

In other news, I worked my butt off today at home. I set up some goals/projects for myself around here cause things are driving me crazy being out of place and messy. So over the last two days I have: cleaned out the big boys room (including under their beds, cleaning out their nightstand, removing the firehouse and tons of stuffed animals), cleaned out and organized all of the upstairs bathroom’s double vanity, medicine cabinet, and 3 vanity drawers, cleaned out Timmy’s closet, cleaned out the closet/stairway up to the attic, and started the big switchover in Timmy’s room to his new "superman big boy" room. I bought the big boys a new dresser for their room which should be here next Friday- so I will clean out their closet then. And tommorrow I’m planning on taking down the crib and putting up Timmy’s new bed. I will post pictures on that asap. Changing his room over was really kinda sad. With the big boys, I couldn’t wait. But with Timmy, I’m missing the baby that he was. He’s getting so big! No more baby stuff. Sad.
