Rides!

It is not Disney World without any rides! Holy Cow! I made a promise to myself that I would ride all the rides and not be a baby! I was super good only saying no once!

Tea Cups! Does it make you sick? Of corse but you still ride them! 

We rode with 27 people in a Pirates of Caribbean! Who sat in between the married people! Me!   

1st African Safari on Thanksgiving!

2nd African Safari Ride the last days in the Park! 

This is what happens when you listen to Alex! The camera was on the other side! 

Notice Alex rethinking is advice! 

We know how to do it! 

My Favorite ride! Kenna looks so scared! (Not fake) 

I love that Brooklyn is so scared! 

This little girl told Shaun to do this pose! I though it was so hillarious!

This pose is for Natalie and all the Asians! (Same ride twice in one day (I made them do it) and was I so happy and Brooklyn still scared)

I was Late! Natalie ... who know what she is doing! Brooklyn still scared! Poor girl! Kenna was trying to help her! You can't see it but a dinosaur is jumping out at you! 

Second time and I was so scared! So funny! 

Second time again! Still scared not as bad as Kenna! Shaun makes me laugh so much!  

I love Splash Mountain! I was kind of acting and kind of not! 

I really love Shaun's face and Brad just looks happy!

The Whole picture is Lemmon's! 21 people! I am not going to lie! This was one of my favorite things! I love telling the people that we had 27 people who wanted to go on the rides! We filled a boat on It's a Small World (23) Pirates of the Caribbean (27) Tower of Terror (21) and a few more other rides! Loved it!

This is the scariest ride I went on! It was at Universal Studios! I was so scared I almost peed my paints! So did Natalie but for completely different reasons! Seriously one of the longest waited I have ever been one! 

Most of the Lemmon's who went to Universal! This was super funny picture!

Fear of Famous People:Disney World

Remember how I have a fear of famous people! (See March 20th, 2012!) Well apparently that translates to Disney Characters! I love Disney Movies and pride myself on being one of "those people" who love to talk and sing Disney! Well aparnetly that doesn't trump the  angzitity I feel meeting even fake famous people! But on our vacation we did met many famous Disney people! I just met them from a distance! Here are some pictures of the Famous Characters that I saw!

This is Princess Aura (From Sleeping Beauty)! A certain person may or may not cried when she met her!

We saw these Mice (the only kind I like) all over the park! In parades/Shows/Fantasmic !

I watched this one to the side lines! The little boy is Jaxson, Natalie's nephew! 

So this is not the right pictures but we did eat breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and his friends it was super nice!  But I didn't want any pictures!

I walked by these two twice but even though they were just machines I didn't want to wait and see them! (Nataie's nices and nephews, Aunt and Cousins!) 

Once again I walked passed these two but I just nodded my head! (Natalie's cousin Heather and her daughter Liberty)

We also walked passed these guys and talked about how we might have stopped if they had Kevin!

As you can imagine we met many more characters! I am very grateful to see them! I love it seeing them not talking to them! I did from a distance even see Merida!

First Day of the Dream!

Oh where to begin! On Wednesday November 14th was the day to leave for Salt Lake! I was so excited but getting my classes ready for a sub for 4 days and it being the end of the tri (when I have to get my grades in) I was so overly stressed! I would have died but my sub was Michael so I was just super stressed out! I am very thankful for Michael taking on my students and being super patcient with me when I forgot to tell him things and for doing grading! 

Kenna and I were ready to go and went the Lemmon's house at 5 when we were supposed to leave! Well lets just say we didn't leave until 7 and Kenna packed both Debra and Brad! (While I graded essays up stairs) But finally we were off!  

Natalie Shaun Alex Kenna and I met Ashley and Robby for pizza at the pie hole in Salt Lake! So we got to the hotel at like 11:30 which wasn't that bad except for the fact that we had to take the shuttle at like 4:30 that morning! (another reason we looks so awesome in the pictures) 

After what seemed like an eternaty in airports! We finally got to the Hotel! The Caribbean Resort and Hotel! It was super big and snazzy! 

I am excited to be here! 

The Mickey Towels

Natalie and I so excited to finally eat something real! 

My ticket to Mickey's Christmas Party! (The park was open late til like midnight) 

The Kids are so excited! (Yes this is the Kids)  

So are the Parents!!! 

The Lemmon Family photo! We are so excited to be there! 

It was great because we could walk on almost all the rides we wanted too! We went on all the greats! Big Thunder (a favorite from Disneyland I was so excited!), The Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and more but I can't think of them!

We were running on adrenaline alone! This is the group that stayed til 11:30ish! I am not going to lie it was amazing that I could put one foot in front of the other! Kenna and I got lost in the shops later but were able to finally make our way back to catch the bus! 

Disney World!

So I am a little over whelmed with work and the holidays right now so I haven't posted anything besides for the quotes from Disney World! But we got all of the cool pictures from Disney today so I couldn't help but share these pictures! I am very greatful to the Lemmon Family for letting us come on this Vacation! Kenna and I loved every minute of it (that we weren't hungry stories will come later)!!!

All of us! All 30 of us! Right in the Middle of Main Street, USA!

I thought this was super funny because you know how I love crashing other people's family reunion!!

Presents for Ms. Wilding

I had a present on my desk today! I really love present and I was uber excited! The contents of the present make me love it even more!
Apple Butter- homemade
2 bisckits
1 toffy (like the maryjane kind)
2 bags of tea
5 pumpkin candies
Oh it super made my day! It also had a note that said:
Ms. Wilding,
 I truly am going to miss starting my day with History. While History does fascinate me, I'll mainly miss not having this class because of you. You're the funniest teacher I've had, and I love hearing your random stories! History became the class I wanted to go to. (And I couldn't have said that last year :) Thank you for all the help and guidance you gave me this trimester.
P.S. I hope you have fun in Disneyland!

Awww! It almost made me cry! I thought it was so sweet!

Team Melissa

A few weeks ago I was struggling! I don't know how else to describe it except for struggling! But that is not the purpose of this blog post! It was red ribbon week at my school and I was in charge of it! The IDFY made red ribbons for the teachers to wear. My friends at lunch were talking about how they only wore them to support me! Then they were joking about how they really should be wearing Team Melissa badges! I jokingly said please do and that would make me so happy! The next day at school during my prep hour they were passing out name tags that said Team Melissa! They wore them all day that day! I may have went back to my classroom and cried cause I felt so loved my awesome friends!
