So cute Patti!! The first time I went to DLR was in 1976. I totally remember that Winnie the Pooh with the honey pot on his head!

Hey Terri,
1976 was the one and only time I went to DLR!! And I too remember that Winnie the Pooh!

Cute picture of Patti in pigtails, was that just to beat it into submission?

Ok who saw that pic of Christy, Ice and Beast?! Is it just me or do Ice and the Beast look like long lost brothers?!

Glove ya!!

PS Wow!!! Was that mad hatter scary or what?!

Here we go with some more photo goodies!
First go to:
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/flyingicemanvx/my_photos
Check out "All Dressed Up" for Ice's favorite Holiday involving costumes!
Check out "Jazzland" for a trip to New Orleans and it's attempt at a Theme Park!
Check out "ROPES 1; Course" to see some of the Challenge Courses I work at. Only a few people have ever asked "so what is ROPES?" (mostly Snarky) so here are some pics of what we do (these are either staff, camp counselors or training that I also went through, not any of my patients.) Course legend is:
AIR; Adventures In Reality (Grand Coteau, LA)
CLSH; Central LA State Hospital (Pineville, LA)
CGW; Camp Grant Walker 4-H/LSU Ag-Center (Pollock, LA)
OSU; Oklahoma State University (at Camp Grant Walker's Course)
URC; Uskichitto Retreat Center (LeBlanc, LA)
Check out "ROPES 2; Conference" This is from the year Christy & I were asked to help put together and co-host the Association of Experiential Educators/Mid-South Conference with the Louisiana State AEE Rep (and some help from the people at CLSH.)
Last, I've added some new pics to "Xtra Stuff", mostly pictures of Christy's world travels & from Northern California where I used to live.
When you're bored, enjoy...

ELVIS!!!

Ice really though I have to tell you, the girls just Loved, Loved, Loved the ropes program! It was strange because we were not familiar with what it was and had to explain to them what they were paying for!! As soon as it was over they talked non stop about it! They did a kind of "Island game"? They had to work together to safely get from one "island" to another. They worked on trust, partnership, planning ahead, risk taking etc. It really was the hit of the weekend. Even my older girls were disapointed that they paid more to go horseback riding and heard how wonderful the ropes program was( well maybe because the instructors were two cute boys in thier early 20's )
Thanks for cluing me in! It looks like you have a lot of fun loving co workers! Keep up the good work!

They did a kind of "Island game"? They had to work together to safely get from one "island" to another.

Hmm... We kinda have a saying in ROPES: There are no new games, only multiple variations of the same old games!
Thhere's a couple of "Island" themed games we use; One is Called "Islands & Lillypads" which involves Hula Hoops that keep getting taken away. The One you mention sounds more like a game we do called "Chocolate Ocean" were they have a course they must traverse safely (using only their "islands" or "marshmallows" in the Chocolate Ocean) to get from point a) to point b). There are sometimes "Sharks" swimming around in the ocean though... stealing the islands away if no-one is standing on them at the time!
I have found that whether the clients are our patients, staff, campers, facilitators in training or corporate groups, they do talk non-stop about their "Adventures" when all is said and done. Glad they had a positive experience!

The Incredibles outfit explains a lot Ice.

Hmm are you bringing any of these costumes to the DCA Halloween party this year.

[Marla]

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I wonder where mine are?

I'm a man what loves his ty.eats!!!!

Hmm are you bringing any of these costumes to the DCA Halloween party this year.

Wouldn't that be something? But I hadn't planned on it really... I draw enough stares when I'm out in public.

I wonder where mine are?

Yeah, where are yours Tink?

[OperaGhosty]

Your pictures are wonderful! How recently did you see Darkwing Duck and Scrooge? It looks like it was Christmastime! We're going in 3 weeks and those are two characters that I would really like to see, so I want to get my hopes up! lol

[mickeytinkerbellprincess]

Great pictures Woot!

[wizardmickey]

First of all there Opera, since it's says that was a 1st post, a hearty Ice WELCOME!!!!

How recently did you see Darkwing Duck and Scrooge? It looks like it was Christmastime!

Darkwing was around Christmas of 2004. He was out near the train station (Main Street) right after the park opened (I think it was even during Extra Magic Hours.)
Scrooge was this past Christmas at Donald's Christmas Tree Lot (not far from the Winnie the Pooh ride.) They were rotating out between Scrooge, Donald & Daisy when we were there.
Good luck with your Ducks-Hunt!

Finally getting around to updating (I think I have done this right?) 1st is some PhotPass pictures from the last trip (WDW PhotoPass). 2nd is some of the art-work I help my wife with that goes out in the yard (I'll need to find pic's of some of the othere one's we've done over the years.) We do them on an overhead, she cuts them out on wood, she does basic paint & then I come in and do all of the detail work.

[Blue Genie]

Very nice Ice. I like your cut outs or what every you call them. Can u make me one of ether Ariel or Princess Aurora. Heehee just kidding.

[wizardmickey]

Glad ya like 'em! It's one of the "art projects" I mentioned being busy with this last week (actually only took about 4 days start to finish!) I'm trying to find some of the other pictures of our other yard art to post too.
And to send them would maybe be sorta expensive; They are odd shaped!

[Blue Genie]

I was only joking. I wouldn't know were to put them at if I got them.

[wizardmickey]

On your table?
On the walls?
In the bathroom?
On the cielling?
I'm sure you could come up with a place!

[wizardmickey]

I have further updated the "Yard-Art" folder with more stuff we've made. Other than the Mardi Gras stuff, everything else was shot at our old place on the hospital grounds & not the new house. Not all of it has weathered well...

[Blue Genie]

Pretty good Ice. Did you see that picture of Aurora yet in her purple dress. I put it down as Aurora purple outfit.

[wizardmickey]

Yeah saw the Aurora picture (thought I had posted a reply? Guess not?) Kind of a lavendar-ish color... nice!
