"Not goodbye, see you later"

“Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find, for a mind maker-upper to make up his mind” 

― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!

The day after Thanksgiving Pop moved away.  This was a very sad day. We love pop, and we want everyone we love to be happy, but it is never easy saying goodbye to people we love. So we gave him big hugs, and we packed up his things, as he set out west for his next big adventure.

Mommy was very sad to see her daddy go, so she hopped in the car and away they rode. Mommy and Pop drove all the way across the United States to pop's new home in Seattle, Washington. We crossed 9 states in 4 days. It was quite a long way, but a very fun time. At the end of the trip mommy flew back home. It wan't goodbye, but just a "see you later."  A very hard "see you later." :(

That's very far away.

Random Cutie round-up

After Halloween we had a "quiet period" in our home which is rare. Loralei was introduced to one of BeBe and mommy's favorite musicals "The Phanton of the Opera."  This was a completely new production and very modern and neat.  It was so much fun sharing this show that I love so much with my big girl. 

 We then squeezed in some updated family photos with the very talented Shelby Andal.:)

 Loralei shared her thoughts on her daddy's service and how proud we are of him.

 We even sqeezed in a lunch date with our big 1st grader. :)

Boo! Happy Halloween!

If there is one Holiday the Tennessee DeForest do well it is Halloween.  This is a favorite in our house. Let's be honest 3/4 of the house wears a costume 300 days out of the year, but this is our time to be unapologetic ally ourselves.  We even like to mix it up and change costumes from event to event. Why not!?  This year Cora was Ariel to the core while Lulu mixed up some Captain Marvel, The Wasp. :)

Disney Part 3

We ended our Disney adventure with a trip to Hollywood studios.  Daddy and Lulu were both looking forward to this park. It’s the home of STAR WARS, Indiana Jones, and Toy Story Land!  There was a hurricane wreaking havoc on the gulf coast during our trip. We were VERY lucky we didn’t get too much rain, but our last day we did get a bit more.  It worked out though. We were “stuck” in Andy’s backyard and waited out the storm and rain while waiting to hop on Slinky Dog. Cora and Lulu colored and even took a power nap. Hey, there are worst places to be stuck in Disney. We were very fortunate.

Lulu loved the coasters 

Cora even liked this one. 

The Frozen sing along show didn’t disappoint. The SNOW was a big hit with both girls!

pause for rain delay

We ended our trip with a dinner at Disney Springs at Raglan Road.  This is an Irish Pub on the property where they had live music and Irish step dancers. The girls really enjoyed the entertainment and even joined in from the sidelines.

That wraps up our Disney 2018 adventure.  We had so much fun, and made lots of memories. We can’t wait to do it again (hopefully soon). ;)
