Today I got a crazy idea, must have been all the Mother's Day love my husband & kids bestowed upon me, I asked DH why don't we invite your parents to go to Disney with us this July , they have never been to Disney World. I have no idea what came over me. No, really my in-laws are very nice, and unintrusive (unlike my own family) they are really great to DD & DS and love them alot despite the fact that they are really their step-grandchildren, they have never treated as anything other than family. I think I have a little guilt as My Mom and 2 of my sisters have gone of Disney vacations with me and I thought it was time we invite his family! So DH is going to talk to them later today and ask them if they would like to join us. DD & DS are exstatic they love Grandma Sue & Grandpa Dave & have alot of fun with them!

DH didn't get a chance to talk to MIL & FIL yesterday, plans to do it later today.

We had to change our trip a little, DH could not get July 1st off so we are now going the 2nd-10th he felt guility and let us add on five days

 

[jesridge]

Got the day Off! Yay! I had planned to go on a field trip with DS to Indy to watch the Indy cars practice but Adam really wanted to go so I sucked it up and let him go, but still took the day off!! hope they have fun!!!

Adam still hasn't talked to MIL & FIL so I am not sure if they are coming yet!

I am trying to talk Adam into buying Annual Passes, we go at least 2-3 times a year but he feels since we live in Indiana we won't get enough use out of them. I think we would go more often if we got the passes, and we have a seven day trip (July) and a 5 day trip (october) planned and have discussed the possibilty of going again for Christmas. I think they would be very useful! Not sure if I'll be able to talk him into it


We made the decision not to fly as the least expensive flight I could find was over $1300 at Christmas I was able to get airfare for $870 and was hoping to get close to the same. So now that we are driving we might stay offsite & also go to Universal as DS has been begging to go, he really wants to check out the new Harry Potter stuff, we are big Harry Potter Fans

I am making our countdown calander today I got all the stuff to make it Sunday but put it off as we have been doing some home remodeling and it was a busy day!

I am thinking of booking BBB for DD she has wanted to do it since she 1st heard of it but we have not yet had a chance. The boys are going to book a day of golfing so I thought it would be a good time for her to do BBB!

Unrelated Vacation News: We just heard back from our IVF Doctor and we are ready to try another cycle soo we have an appointment Next Friday the 21st! and if all goes as expected we should have our beta pregnancy test on July 2nd before we leave for vacation I am unsure if this is a good or bad thing. If it's positive of course it's something else great to celebrate on Vacation but if it's negative it might put a damper on our fun!! Hmmm something to think about!!!

I finally found airfare in our budget but it required us to change our dates to July 4th- July 10th

Our Flight will leave Indy @ 11:30 & Arrive in Orlando at 5:50 (with a plane change in Chicago)

Our Flight Home will leave MCO @ 6:35 AM and arrives at IND @ 11:00

have to decided between this and driving I am totally leaning toward Flying.
We are really only losing one day this way as we would have spent the 2nd & 1/2 the 3rd Driving and the 10th we would have left early in order to be home early on Sunday!

I will discus with DH tonight and if we decide to fly book our flight this evening.
