Birthday Smash!

I know we haven't posted anything for quite awhile, but there's been good reasons.

There have been a lot of things developing for both Suzette and I, and I wanted to wait until things played out a little more. Some of the things I'll be posting about later: Suzette possibly becoming a trainer (she needs to have her interview first),  opportunities with Youth Education Series, and future Professional Internship positions.

This post however will be more about my birthday smash with Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

I set a personal goal to ride Rock 'n' a total of 26 times for my 26th birthday, and do this in one day. On Tuesday, August 23, 2011 the Hollywood Studios park was open from 9am-10pm. I arrived closer to 11am, and immediately began tackling this task.




















My 1st favorite photo.


My 2nd favorite photo.

This was actually ride 25.


This was actually ride 23.

My 26th ride. Suzette, Ryan, and Meaghan riding with me.




The only problems I had...

Picture 2: The lady wouldn't let me take a photo of my photo. Even after I told her about my mission.

Picture 23: I accidentally showed "2 5" on my hands... So, I switched them in this blog. Picture 23 is actually 25, and 25 is actually 23.

I only used a Fastpass twice. Rides 4 and 19.

During the 24th ride a friend of mine, Meaghan, was riding with a really nice guy in the front car. After telling him my mission, he assured us that he was going to "work some magic at the end of the ride." He sure did!

He went to the ride attendant, told him what I was doing, and we were escorted to the front car for my last two rides of the day, 25 and 26. Not only that, but at the end of our 26th ride, he escorted us to the photo merchant to give me the last photo for FREE!

What an awesome time we all had. Thanks to everyone for your Birthday Wishes.

Family Fun Time

We were able to take some time off for vacation time with our my mom and my nephew Miles. It was Miles's first time at Walt Disney World, but it definitely won't be his last.

I just wanted to share the fun we had with everyone, and show his priceless faces on nearly every ride.

Great face on Big Thunder Mountain.

Great face on Everest.

Another great face on Big Thunder Mountain.

Good face on Big Thunder Mountain.

Miles SAYS he doesn't like it, but this picture proves otherwise.
