The Lashpair's Plans for Friday Final Fling.
 

Just to let folk know, As the plan stood, The LashPair would have been playing with the Lot Family from 5pm in the park, until 7:30pm, when we would whizz orf to Ralphies to try and have dinner ordered, eaten and cheque paid by 8:40 (1 hour in the restaurant). We would have then dashed to the park to see the fireworks that we have never managed to see properly, despite having a 14-day Park Hopper.

We would have then had to leave immediately after the fireworks, (on the dot, no negotiations) and hiking our weary as$es to the Hojo's where we have to wake at 3:30am to be picked up at 4:30am and driven to the Airport, in time to check in for our very early International Flight.

We apologise in advance for any anti-socialness in our decision to not attend the dinner, but our personal preferance, to tell the truth (and we are going to be brutally honest here, and just a touch selfish), is that we'd much rather just bring sandwiches to the park and play with everyone from 5pm to 9pm in the park, see the fireworks, say our (very sad) goodbyes to everyone, and trot off into the southern hemisphere.

I hope everyone understands, but there is way too little time for dinner on the night, and a wonderful LoT dinner for Louis can still be had the following night (or any night after)

Again, apologies for the late notice, but we have been going over the timings time and time again tonight, and it would simply be too stressful a finish for a busy (but fun) holiday, and we had anticipated having seen the fireworks properly earlier.

We hate having to be like this, but it's been huge and needs to wind down gentler.

As is, the main part of the day is going to be an orgy of packing, calling airlines, checking things, finding things, culling things, washing clothes, organising and all sorts of business (and busyness). By 5pm we'll be ready and grateful for some Disney Magic.

All feedback welcome, however we are going to have to stand firm on our decision. We hope you can all respect that.

I'm sorry, but we have decided to not let you go. We'll work up a rotating custody schedule, and get back to you when we're finished fighting over it.

Wendy, I've already told you that we get the entire summer. You can have them come fall, but you did promise to return them back to SoCal in time for Halloween festivities. Don't make me fight you! :p

Let the kidnapping plans commence! :evil:

(In seriousness, I totally respect and understand your plans, LB. It'll be cheaper too. ;) )

As an out-of-town observer, I support whatever causes the most rancor.

Did you guys decide if you're going to have to drug them before the kidnapping? Now all you need to do is slip something in those sammwhiches and you'll be set.

Um, I demand a holiday with them.

In all seriousness-everyone will understand.

I will say my goodbyes here- I am so glad I got great hugs when I saw you last. You are dearly loved and are going to be much missed-you totally won over my daughter- she just thinks the world of you-just like I do.

Truly- I want you to know how special you are to us. I am sorry I did not get more time with you-but what we had was awesome.

Rose is literally counting down to your next visit-:)

Many hugs!

PS- and Stoat- I will make that appointment- and let you know how it goes.

It's been a rough week, but I'm going to do my damnedest to be there tonight. I haven't had very much time with Bear and Stoat at all, and that's no good.

:(

Totally sad cheese.

I second the kidnapping idea.

Or the "LoT goes to Australia" idea. :D

Woe to my cheese too. :(


But I am so grateful that I did get to spend a day with you. Gracie still talks about it. She enjoyed you all so much.

It was a beautiful day, full of sunshine and buses. Thank you for it!

I look forward to the next time I see you.
