I'm so happy, I could BOUNCE!

There isn’t much more to report here, so I’ll just kind of wrap it up in this post.
I woke up and took another tub. (Sorry water shortage!) I think that helped to make me feel better too. I went up to the lounge to have some breakfast, and Fran requested a Bagel with Cream cheese. I met the girls up there and they were not happy about leaving.
I think Cynthia gave me this pic of her plate.
It’s so nice being able to have access to the Craftsman club. I doubt that next stay, we’ll have that privilege.
After I left, the girls enjoyed their coffee on the balcony.
Then began the chore of packing up the supplies. It took us all the way until 11AM to pack up the coolers with the leftovers, and get everything ready for a bellman. When we called down to Bell Services, they told us that it was going to be at least half an hour until they could send someone up.
I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to get everything into the cars to get it home, but there was no problem. We drove slowly so as not to damage Mickey on the way home. Margaret met us at the house and we unloaded everything and brought it in the house. Everyone prepared themselves a plate of leftovers and then David and Donna showed up, and later Jim and Alberto.
It was a beautiful day and we sat outside on the patio chatting. Sorry I have no pictures from that day, we were all very low energy and just sort of chilled and chatted.
My father and David, laid down on these chairs and took a nap for about an hour.
I was glad that I put 1-5PM in the invitation because everyone in my family was getting tired from the activities of the weekend, and we were wanting to just relax and not “be entertaining”. Once everyone said goodbye, we tried to settle in on a dinner choice that would use up some of our many leftovers. I ended up making us some Fried Rice.
Following dinner we all went to bed, it was a fun but exhausting weekend.
My parents left around 11:00AM the next day, and we sort of couldn’t wait for them to leave, because it was the unofficial Star Wars holiday, May the Fourth be with you. We made a dash to the park and Fran had done online research as to what merchandise was available and where. We headed right to the “Little Green Men” store and got in line. They were already out of XL T-shirts for the “May the 4th”, so we got some 2X and 3X, but she got a “Revenge of the 5th” in a few different sizes for later sale on eBay.
We got several of this strange little Ewok guy.
And a few of the Limited Edition Pins
Then we decided to get some lunch. We were going to get a Corn Dog, but the little Red Wagon was so darned packed that we just went over to Casey’s and got some dogs. Fran got a regular one, but I got this beauty!
After that I rode Star Tours and Space Mountain and we decided to call it a day. On our way out we saw Chip and Dale stalking this guy.
And then we left the parks and went home. I made us Chicken Nachos for dinner, that used up leftover chips, queso, and chicken. But we weren’t even putting a dent in all that leftover food. So the big question is what was the fate of Mickey?
Well we talked about shellacking him and preserving him, but he was just too large, and that’s a lot of sugar to have laying around, so we took him to band on Tuesday night and had at him.
Here I am studying how I will chop him up.
Justin wanted to have a go at it.
And there you see it.
And that’s all I got. I thought I had a picture of him with a full lobotomy, but I guess not. So that wraps up the last of the birthday weekend. Stay tuned for next year when we celebrate it at WDW with Naked Jim!

Wow! But I believe that all things happen for a reason and I hope the new church ends up being a wonderful home for you. 
Once again - what an amazing cake.
