Happy Hats and Heads

We're back for another Wordless Wednesday and today the focus is on Disney headgear. As a guy who can't even stand to wear a baseball hat, this isn't exactly a topic near and dear to my heart, but even though I don't participate in the art of adorning my head with baubles, I do understand their importance.

After all, the right hat can make you feel like a Disney princess...

WHO ARE THEY? - Nicole is an Indiana girl who is busy raising up her two young sons, referred to in her blog as Big Arrow and Little Arrow. Nicole claims that the title of her blog is drawn from a Kahlil Gibran quote: "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth", but I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the Hunger Games. Nicole strikes me as kind of a Katniss type. I can see her with a baby in a carrier on the front and a quiver of arrows on her back. I wonder if her husband is from District 12?

How to Torture Yourself When at Home for Spring Break

Today is the last day of Spring Break, and while it's been nice having Lori and the kids home, I've been going a little crazy not being able to get away. Family health problems have us confined close to home at the moment, so day trips to places like Crystal Mountain have been the only adventures we've managed to do. That doesn't mean that I haven't been dreaming bigger though. It seems that everywhere I look there's something taunting me...reminding me of places I could be visiting, and although some of it is unavoidable, some is definitely self-inflicted. If you ever find yourself in this situation, here's a couple of things you should avoid doing if you don't want to torture yourself.

Spring Training for Disney

With the closing of our local ski mountain yesterday, it's time to officially put winter behind us and turn our focus to the joys of spring. For me, spring means one thing, and that's Spring Training. It's that time of year when all the professional baseball players report to camp and start to get ready for a brand new season, but Spring Training isn't just for baseball. For me and all my fellow Disney addicts, there's a whole new season of theme parking to start training for. People think all you have to do is book a hotel and buy some passes, but the real Disney-philes know that there's a lot more to it than that.

Closing Crystal Mountain

A lot of people wait anxiously every year for the opening of ski season. Their gear is polished, their seasons pass is bought, and the only thing they have to wait for is enough of the fluffy white stuff to hit the ground that it's considered skiing and not falling down a hill. It's usually around December sometime that everything gets up and running. After that a certain number of people disappear each year, not to be seen again for the next three months.
