This is thread 2 of this long drawn out story... Thread 1 can be found HERE in case you missed anything..

Alrighty, so after our morning at MGM, DHS, whatever, we headed back to POFQ.
When we came in we saw that Thumper and Bambi from the basket had been arranged on our bed with a little towel basket that Thumper was kind of holding..

I just thought that was too cute.

We knew Lori and Audrey had been at the pool off and on that morning from the calls she had made to Kevin while we were in the park. When we got back we changed into our swim wear and headed down. We walked all the way around the pool to see if we saw them, but no luck. Also, we had no luck finding somewhere to sit! All the chairs were full. We were finishing our second lap around when some guy took pity on us and asked us if we’d like the one chair that his daughter wasn’t using cause she was staying in the pool. We thankfully accepted and shared the seat.
After going to get some drinks at the bar we enjoyed the Jelly Bellies that were in the basket.

I enjoyed my drink, which I can’t remember the name right now….

Notice my fab Stitch towel behind me… got that back in 2006 on the CBR bday trip. Love that thing
While Andy was getting the drinks this family beside me started flipping out. Not sure exactly what the deal was but all of a sudden their teenage probably almost 20 something daughter comes up freaking out about the time. Then they start digging through their bags, running to the restroom one at a time and coming back all dressed ready to go. They were acting stressed, packing their crap by the pool, but they weren’t exactly moving at high speed. The only thing I could figure, based on my not so hidden eavesdropping, was that they thought it was a different time and their DME time was coming up sooner than they had thought….Anyway….
Not too long after Andy came back Kevin and Lori and Audrey came down and found us.

Audrey glamming it up in her bathing suit (note the crazy rushing around family behind her)…
The guys hopped right in the pool with Audrey. Remember I talked in the beginning about how much she likes “wimmin ools”. That’s Audrey speak for swimming pools.

I stuck my toes in and decided I was completely content where I was, camera in one hand, drink in the other, tshirt on, relaxing in a chair. The air was just too chilly for getting wet.
They got out to go around to the slide and I got this picture..

Look out Kevin, Audrey is already perfecting her super sexy model pose….
So they made their way over to the slide. I followed, of course, to take some pictures. While I was waiting for them to come down the slide one of the lifeguards noticed my mickey ear tattoo on my foot and asked “are those real?” So I told him yes and explained what they meant but that I was two ears behind. He was really impressed and called his buddy over to show him. One of them said “That’s a really nice tattoo”. I guess it was because it’s on my foot…. But I smiled and said thanks…and remembered that my DH was about ten feet away in the pool….and focused back on him and Kevin and Audrey coming down the slide

Unfortunately, my charm must not have been working all that great b/c the same lifeguard then asks me if I’m with them and I say yes and tells me that they can’t go down the slide together. I tried to explain that she was little and afraid to go by herself the first time but they said that for safety reasons only one person at a time can go down the slide. I personally don’t see Audrey as counting as a WHOLE other person… maybe a quarter of a person…. Maybe a third…she is kinda tall for her age….
Anyway, they made it down again before I could get to them to tell them what the lifeguard said…. And Audrey was having a blast…so atleast she got to go down twice with daddy.
She finally got up the nerve to go by herself…so mommy waited at the bottom..

Note the look of pure concern on her face She didn't want to go down anymore after that even though she said she had fun "Audrey was that fun?" "Uh huh" (nodding yes) "Do you wanna go again?" "Uh uh" (shaking head no)
While they swam, played, and in Andy’s case, acted like morons..

I took some pics around the pool.


Time to get out was fast approaching so we could get ready for our night at Raglan Road. When Audrey got out, bless her heart…I told you the air was chilly… her lips were purple and shaking. Nobody was really doing anything…they put her little cover up on which left her arms and legs exposed, so I got my towel which was still dry and wrapped her like a burrito and held her for a bit…

Grandma called while we were sitting there and Kevin handed the phone to Audrey… I think this picture is funny. I just stuck my camera out to the side to try and get a picture of her on my lap on the phone…

Pretty soon we all headed up to the rooms to get ready for our adults night out….

Coming up: migraines and head injuries…

Great update! Sounds like yall had a good time at the pool. Great pics also. Can't wait to hear more.

[Jillybean]

Glad that Audrey was able to sneak in a few good slides! My girls would be in heaven if they could slide down with their daddy.

Sitting by the pool at Disney while sipping a cold beverage - - heaven!

Great update! Little Audrey is sooo cute. I'm sure she is enjoying the extra attention you both are giving her. It was nice of you to share your Stitch towel. More please!

[angiek1024]

Audrey is so cute on the slide! Looks like a great, relaxing time at the pool!

More please!

[amandal]

Audrey is just absolutely adorable - especially in the pic where she's wrapped like a "burrito" . . . I'm hoping my nephew loves the slide too!! Sounds like a good day so far, although the word "migraine" worries me a bit . . . .

[wayneava81]

Sounds like a great afternoon! Please don't make us wait too long for the next update!

[RobDVC]

That's a cool little display that was waiting for you when you returned!
You got some great action shots from the pool!

[CountryTink]

Looks like a great afternoon at the pool. I found it interesting that the lifeguard told you to tell them they couldn't go down the slide together rather than telling them himself. Oh well, at least they still had some fun.

Looking forward to more.

I think that I vaguely remember this story from one of your other TRs, but could you remind me about the story of the mickey ears tattoo and why you are two behind?

Thanks!

Staci

[BlueCinderellaEyes]

The pool looks like it was fun! What a nice way to spend the afternoon!

[Hugmonster]

Head injury??? Oh girl you'd better not make us wait forever again.

I have six small mickey ears tattooed across my foot (2 rows of three that alternate)... It started with three for my first three trips (honeymoon Nov. 03, Dec. 04, Dec. 05) Then I got three more for our July 06, Dec. 06 and July 07 trips. Since then we've gone two more times (Dec. 07 and March 08) so I'm two behind...and with our trip in August booked and half paid and one night planned at WDW before our cruise in Nov. I'll be 4 behind But I think I have to stop. I don't really want to keep going b/c I'll run out of room... They may have to represent each year of trips rather than each trip itself

I found this picture from my TR last summer.... I took this pic to show my red swollen foot when I fell outside Raglan Road But you can see my tatt
