The story about the Dinosaur ride about did me in! I was reading it out loud to my husband and laughing so hard that I don't think he understood a word I said. Hubs measured our boy tonight and he is only 37 inches tall. I don't think even the biggest pair of shoes with homemade inserts will work for us. :)Immeasurably More Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06143093394307413930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-27513076893756223242009-05-29T16:08:16.560-04:002009-05-29T16:08:16.560-04:00I have been enjoying looking around your blog...fo...I have been enjoying looking around your blog...found you through a friend of mine who follows your blog...and I just had to stop and say THANK YOU! Thanks for the heads up about the Dinosaur ride! We are about to take our three little girls to Disney for the first time. Animal Kingdom is on our list...and they LOVE dinosaurs. I am sure we would have taken them on it!<br /><br />Thanks for all of the fun and helpful mommy tips about Disney! <br />Blessings,<br />Kimberly :)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534550649815409116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-84194908433997134452009-05-28T19:30:53.980-04:002009-05-28T19:30:53.980-04:00We took our 3 1/2 and 6 1/2 year olds on the Juras...We took our 3 1/2 and 6 1/2 year olds on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal 8 years ago this month. We still talk about how going into that T-Rex's mouth scared all of us silly! Ever seen that commercial where the mom is shoving her two kids into her bosom as they go down the hill? Yeah, I think they got us on video and used the idea for a commercial. lol <br /><br />I felt like such a rotten mom then but I didn't know the ride was so scary. It was dinosaurs and my son loved dinos...so we went on it. Although we still talk about it we laugh about it now. It's one of those good memories from our trip. :) Funny how God turned that into a good, huh?! *wink*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-82710451604418199242009-05-23T23:48:21.254-04:002009-05-23T23:48:21.254-04:00This comment really has nothing to do with your mo...This comment really has nothing to do with your most recent post - although it looks like a great trip and it did make me laugh a few times - especially the part about rigging your son's height! :) But I just recently started reading your blog from a link on Stuff Christians Like so I haven't been around long. I was catching up on blogs after a busy week away and was looking at your pictures from your daughter's dedication and saw the picture of your mom keeping the two kids occupied and thought..."Hm that lady looks a lot like Beth Moore." And as the pictures kept coming I kept thinking "Wow she really does look like Beth Moore" and then I saw the one titled "The Moore Girls" and felt like a dork.<br />By the way - I love your sweet girl's big bows! I make some pretty cute big flower headbands for our local Farmers' Market that would be pretty darn cute on her too! :) <br />Sorry for the LONG comment!

All I knew about it was that our pregnant friend couldn't ride it because it was too bumpy. I thought I can handle bumpy and so I read all the signs and there we no parent warnings about it so I thought I am good. I even thought oh it's just friendly fun dinosaurs. Oh my goodness I was SO wrong! I don't know if I have ever been so scared in my life and the pictures showed it! But like you I would have taken a kid on it because there were no warnings.

Usually I travel with my sisters or my mom or even one of my Bible study friends. Nobody in those groups are bloggers. (I've tried like everything to get them involved) :( I quickly thought of a friend I met on the blog who is a pastor's wife. We never knew each other and met on the blog after I went to San Antonio last year. Turns out she lives about 15 miles from me. AND, we are both memorizing Psalm 139!<br />We didn't know that ahead of time either.<br />So.....Sherry and I will be traveling partners next Jan.<br />Just thought I'd share the excitement!<br />I'll get to see your mom at Deeper Still in OKC in Dec. whooo hoooo!<br />Have a great weekend, Amanda!<br />Love,<br />Valerie<br />I'm so excited!valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506291993756087418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-44477554159525423982009-05-23T08:51:51.294-04:002009-05-23T08:51:51.294-04:00Animal Kingdom is my fav!

They swore it was no big deal and made him go. WEll, you know what happened in Jurassic Park. It started out mellow and got crazy. At the end we crashed into a T-rex's mouth and down a huge hill. I'm sure they felt awful.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149271294595447912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-6624214854354532292009-05-22T18:06:22.605-04:002009-05-22T18:06:22.605-04:00We just visited Animal Kingdom for the first time ...We just visited Animal Kingdom for the first time and thought it was really cool.

I read about her on teh Disney boards when we were planning our trip. IT's really cool that you saw her.

How...I'm pretty sure we were there on the same day! However, our experience was quite different. A friend of mine, who frequents Disney, gave me the heads up on what to see and do. I had written notes on the map that said things like "very scary" or "will get wet". After Grace read those she decided that she did not want to go on any ride that got her wet and she was not into riding anything she deemed too scary. So no Dinosaur for us or Kali River Rapids. Your 3 year old is much braver than my 9 year old. LOL<br /><br />We started that morning with breakfast at the Tusker House restaurant which was really fun. Then we got our fast passes for the safari. We loved it! The whole park was really great. And yes, we rode the Triceratops spin as well. <br /><br />We loved the Tree of Life and got to see The Lion King performance. No Everest for us though...we're too old and Grace was too scared! Thanks for sharing! It was so much fun!!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142110363464905754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-56003097681873176942009-05-22T10:36:35.559-04:002009-05-22T10:36:35.559-04:00You know we went to Disney Animal Kingdom ~2 years...You know we went to Disney Animal Kingdom ~2 years ago, and we all thought the Dinosaur ride was terrifying too.

First off- Be glad ...I have alot to say today. :)<br /><br />First off- Be glad that you were spared from the Primevil Whirl. My husband and I tried it on our Honeymoon and I nearly got a black eye. It is extremely rough. (We were also blessed to ride with a couple who shouted the most colorful array of swear words we've ever heard. Probably added to the horror of the experience.)<br /><br />-Way to go, Jackson! Dinosaur is very scary. I had to give myself a big pep talk just to get on it in January. I'm 27!!!<br /><br />-I'm also so proud of him for riding Kali River Rapids. What a big boy!<br /><br />-You got amazing shots of the safari. I hope you realize that. I can't count the number of times I've done the safari and he's only been out once.<br /><br />P.S. I'm an ex-cast member, not just a crazy obsessed Disney freak. :)Sunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477863647587508666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-68657454607262313712009-05-22T08:16:38.248-04:002009-05-22T08:16:38.248-04:00I love how open you are.
