Playing "catch-up!"

Rain, clouds and cooler than normal temps are becoming the norm down here! (By no means do we mean to lessen what all of you are doing and going through up North.) Our internet service has been out for the past three days, UGH! That means I've backed up posting a blog or two until now.
Where do I start? Oh, first we had a visit (in the rain) by Winston in his new "Rain Booties."

Then we spent a day at (our workplace) DisneyQuest. It was a first for Buzz and Darlene and Rose and Ray. Suffice it to say that for a couple members of our party, a few hours was all that was needed.

Taking their run around the track on the Daytona Race Track is Ray, Buzz and Bill.

Pat and Darlene took a "spin" on the "Typhoon" virtual speed ride. The seats bounce you about as the giant fans make you feel like you're moving.

Rose tried her skills on the "JamboSafari!"

We all tried our hand at Submarine warfare, but the girls got to sit down. The guys tried to stay alive in the SeaWolf Sub game. It's a good thing it was only a game! I'm sure we'd have been "discharged!"

We "retreated" to something more our speed - bowling!

Actually, this game was a surprise. We got to "beat" out our frustrations! Here, Angela and Darlene, Pat and Rose to the left get into it.

The quietest person in our group caught us off guard when he let his "inner self" out...

Ray never owned a motorcycle so we were all stunned when he had to "jump" on this "Chopper."

That only tweaked his ego even more, so...

Sorry Rose, you just never know!

We made our way through four of the five floors of DisneyQuest and needed some nourishment. We headed for the "Earl of Sandwhich" and dessert (a free sample of chocolate), some shopping for the girls and people watching for the guys as we sauntered around Downtown Disney.

A few days later we headed for Disney's Hollywood Studios (along with Gnorm).

While waiting for the "Block Party Bash," we enjoyed some fun with the Hollywood Blvd. Players. Dora, came over to Bill, Buzz and I and wondered where our wives were. She wanted to know their names and where they were. We told her they were shopping across the street and she bolted into the store, shouting their names. She found Darlene and Angela and we all had some great laughs.

Dora caught up to Angela and Darlene on the other side of the carriage.

After clearing the street, the high energy Block Party Bash made its way up the Blvd.

After burning up some energy, we headed for the Animation Academy where Bill couldn't resist a photo op with one of his favorite Disney Characters...

I should mention it was also Bill's Birthday! So, ya just can't let a good reason to eat cake go by...

Thanks to Darlen, our busy day at Disney's Hollywood Studios ended on a "sweet" note!
