Packing, Pumpkins, & Prepping! | Fort Wilderness Campground at Halloween

Because they were out of the festive, yeah, you wanna see? They were out of the festive munchkins so they gave us We did get munchkins too. Oh, here comes the shrimp. So we did this last year. We brought Munchkins. Went to Fort Wilderness, looked at all of the decorations, and the kids loved it. It's kind of like our last weekend in Florida before our trip. When we get back, it's going to be Christmas down here. Bye. Just looking at you. I got it. I'm super brave. Ooh, gummy bears. That was worth it. That was worth the scare. Hey, Mom, look. There's a car. We saw the castle. Oh, Mom, look at me going. Wow, it's not often the Brookharts are at Magic Kingdom as the sun rises, but we need to fix some of these mops. I think it's going to be open and they're going to have a great haircut for you. For anyone who didn't know, Charlie loves Echoes. Hello. And it was 66, 64 when we got up. So as a Floridian, we got to bust out the jackets, but it also is Florida, so it's going to be 80 in about Four hours, three hours, so we'll shed the layers. The boys have shorts and hoodies on. Okay, I don't think I see anybody at Barbershop, which means we may be able to get lined up to be the first people. You can book out, I don't know how far out, I don't know the rules to that, because our go-to move is just to get here, right at open, and do walk-ins. Alrighty, everybody's hairs are cut and I really don't know what advice to give about the barbershop because we got here at Park Open a little bit earlier than Park Open to do a walk-up haircut appointment. That's what you have to do if you don't have a reservation, which are kind of tricky to get. But then other people got there and they said the app said that the barbershop didn't open until nine, an hour later. But then we were let in. At like 8:15. All I know is it doesn't hurt to get there early. You just gotta wait around close to the door. We're gonna get a little breakfast item. A new breakfast item this morning. Christmas shop got a new countdown. Cute. We're very into the headless horseman this Halloween season. So I'm showing the boys the picture of him on Sleepy Hollow. Alrighty, I got this advice from Cody T from the Lost Bros and that is to come to Sleepy Hollow and get the breakfast syrup. Wow, thank you. I can't wait to try it. You want to see the country bears? Yeah. This is what we're trying out this morning. All right, so this is, they're served with salsa and we're going to try it with the syrup. If you go to Sleepy Hollow, Oh, you can get the syrup. It's Teddy's first time on Tiana's Bayou Adventure, James' second. He was just telling me he didn't want to go. Now he wants to. He's so brave. All right. Fresh haircuts, brave boys. This is going to be fun. Daddy hasn't been on this ride in years. There it is. Oh, this makes me so happy. I've only been to this once. Wow, a celebration of family and friends. Tiana. I would love for y'all to play at my party tonight. Wow. Wow. All right, time for the big drop, boys. James, look at the party. Oh, yeah? Was it a thumbs up or thumbs down, Teddy? Was it fun, though? It was a little bit fun. Attention all visitors from Galaxy Air 31. Please keep all your face-intentions clear of any vehicles. Thank you. Oh, he's like, it's about to get really loud. It's a firework. There's Peter and Rick. Wow, it's never been that loud. And cars, it's climate. Y'all, Keanu, check out that level. This is almost flat compared to all those ridges and cushions. I definitely overran these. I overspent on it. Look at that. Look at this groove here. Just completely worn down. Grip, no compression. It's even crazier. Can you look at the sides? Look at how decompressed the foam is. On the left, lacking support, but we will have good, fresh pianos for the New York City Marathon. Charlie is making Georgie laugh. Our pre-trip vlog, basically. We are spending this whole week getting ready for the trip. I'm packing right now, the baby's taking a nap, so I'm just taking advantage of this time. It's gonna have to be a week where I'm productive during the day and a little sleep will be had, but breaking it out over the week will really help. We had our last little festive night with friends, painting pumpkins last night. I want to make a habit out of it. And now we're kind of like trying to like limit ourselves to germ exposure. We're just doing all the things. We are intentional trip planners, preppers, and I'm getting really excited. This is really my first trip prepping for six people. I mean, no, that's not true. We did go up north during the summer. This is a bit more like... Vacationy like it's there's just more constraints. We don't have like being at a family's house We do have washer and dryer access. So that will be really helpful we have the race and We're really just like we haven't this is our first big trip in a long time That isn't Chicago or like a staycation here I'm by no means like this is the greatest way to pack for a family of six because I'm new here. Good. Hey. Hey, Mom. Hey, Teddy. Teddy. You want to have that one? I don't like that one. It's not. Look at this one. Oswald. Oswald. Okay. We're at the library getting some DVDs for the road trip because our car has a DVD player. We've been doing this this school year. Good choice. But it's extra special getting ready for the road trip. Nope. Let's ride in a white dragon. This is technically our first fill up of the road trip. So I'm out just doing a couple of errands for our trip and I grabbed us some seasonal Starbucks beverages. We are so good about using our espresso maker, our espresso maker, our espresso machine. That's funny. But around the holidays, we like to get each each coffee place that we really like once I want to take a drink before we get home Peter got a pumpkin cream shake an espresso um and I am trying the iced pecan crunch latte I have had plenty of pumpkin from like Jeff's and um Dutch Bros and so I like really like this is my this is my jam so I love a sugar on top I love a crunch um All righty, I am on some errand duty this morning and we just picked up shoes for Peter. Shoes. Now we are doing our road trip. Snack pick up, which worked out great for nap time for us. And then I need to get stamps for postcards. Setting up a postcard set. We're sending to everyone who donated to our New York City American Cancer Society fundraiser. We have like a window of time where we were sending postcards to like saying thank you with drawings from the boys. So I need like five more stamps. There's something I could pick up. We need to vote, um, I think like the rest will be packing and cleaning, but Peter's kicking butt today. He's on inside house duty, we're on outside road duty. We did it. 6 30. It's good to be home. We know what our goals are, we know what we hope to accomplish, and believe me it's the most exciting and challenging assignment we've ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions.
