Well, howdy ya'll. Good to be back in freezing cold windy Idaho. We've been gone the past week and a half in sunny, warm, green Florida enjoying the weather, scenery, and festivities. Our original plan was to do Disney all week long but after some deliberation, we settled on different activities. I have never been east of the rockies so I really wanted to see more of florida than just the Orlando, Disney Zone. We decided on Universal Studios, they were having a great deal on tickets, and a Go Orlando Card. With the card we were able to take small cruises, airboat rides, tour museums, take tours and see more of Florida.
This is Jared and I just outside Universal Studios. It was not what I expected at all. I thought the place would be full of extreme rollar coaster rides but it was more like movie rides. I liked the twister ride, the Mummy ride, and oddly enough, the Simpsons ride the best. But my favorite was the Horror Makeup show they had. Jared, Jerry(my dad-in-law), and I went on Saturday to preview it and then again the following Friday so that Betty, my mom-in-law could see it. The hosts ask for a volunteer and we tried really hard to get Betty to be it, and luckily, she was picked. It was hilarious. She was the most perfect willing but scared helper they could have ever chosen.
The first trick they did was cut her arm with a knife. Mom was paying attention to the other host and didn't quite realize what they were doing with her arm.
The knife was rubber and it had a little attachment bubble thing ful of fake blood that they oozed out. It looks so real. Betty was hilarious, we couldn't stop laughing.
Playing the squeemish assistant.
This next picture, Mom put on the electromagnetic vest and glove and whatever move she made, made the monster robot move the same way. Afterwards, they took the stuff off of her and posed for a picture when the robot came alive and completely scared mom to death. She ran behind the counter and started grabbing rubber body parts to beat the monster back. It was sooooooo sooooo funny to watch. I think the anticipation of the whole thing made it that much better for Jared, Dad, and me.

she does look like the perfect person!! oh that card thing sounds cool, so did you take a little cruise or what? i think i need to hear about some of these stories in person
I think that she is the perfect person for that trick!!! It looks so much fun.
That would have been a hoot to see.
How fun. I'm glad you guys had fun, but i'm also glad you're back! You need to tell me the stories in person.
Hahahaha, Oh my, I kept thinking of how I did something very simialr to Steven Henderson(remember him?) at MGM at Disney. Oh my, Misty and I were laughing our heads off. Thsoe shows are a million times more fun when you get someone you know involved.
Anyway, can't wait for more info about your trip.
Fun times! That's neat you got to go with your In-Laws. And what a nice relaxing trip with NO kids.
Surprisingly, {to me} I've never been to Florida. Wow. I've been to a billion other places...but never to Florida. Maybe one day. But I can't say it's on the top of my list either. Though, Disney World would be pretty cool.
Hey Court,
So sorry I haven't been able to get back with you. Things are crazy and we are leaving tomorrow after Canadian Thanksgiving dinner. So I did some research and it would be 5 hours out of the way to see you. Plus we are doing this thing that is connected to Uship.com. Where people need items shipped around the nation and you bid on the item to help ship it. And you get paid. And we bid on a beagle (dog) and got it. SO I don't know if you would want a dog in your house??? But hopefully when we travel the next time you will be on the way. We are planning on heading to California after Idaho in Febuary or march. I could talk with Joel and see if we could stop by your place then. I love you my friend. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for the invite. That was so nice of you and I would love to see you and meet your new family.
I love you,
Dess
I heard about your trip--Jerry style. I'm curious to know if it differs from your side. :)
