The Bare Family

First, Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for my family. We were all caught off guard with the passing of my Grandpa and miss him deeply. I can't believe I'm 2 weeks behind!!! How did I get behind so quickly!?!?! Anyways... Starting tonight I'll be updating from two weeks ago forward so keep an eye out :) Lot's of good stuff including some first for Zane.... which includes MICKEY!! lol! Hope everyone is doing great! Can't wait to catch up on everyone's blogs :)

So late Tues night I was on Facebook (another downfall of mine) and Brittany messaged me about some FREE 3 day Disney Hopper Passes... and of course my immediate response (without a word to Dean) was "YES!!!" I was bouncing! We'd been talking of just going ahead and going before our trip in Dec.... but this was FREE! lol.. after talking with her a bit more she said that they had to be used by Friday. So after coming back down to earth and went and asked Dean and he was just like "yeah, ok, sounds good" I'm thinking.. "SOUNDS GOOD!?!? This is GREAT!!" lol, I get excited about Disney.. can't you tell?!? Anyways... got information on where to meet Brittany in the morning and started getting everything ready for in the morning... now mind you it's almost midnight. We had planned on leaving this morning by 6:30 so that we could get there when the park opened and well we ended up leaving at 7:30, lol! We ended up in the gates by about noon...

You should know this from the past couple of posts... but PICTURE OVERLOAD !!! LOL! Today we thought we would take it easy, afterall we had made quite a trip in the last 2 days and needed some rest. But by the time 3pm rolled around Dean and I were bored, lol! So we decided to go ahead and take Zane to the beach for the first time.

In preparation for our leaving on Sunday morning we decided to drop Bailey off Saturday night with Candy. I felt just awful about leaving her (any other time that we leave she stays home and usually Kim comes and stays with her... so this was her first time away from home) I actually cried the whole way home from Jacksonville, how sad is that?!?! She truly is like my child though. I spoke with Candy Sunday morning and found that her nor Bailey slept that night... which made me feel even more awful for Candy losing sleep! She assured me that everything was ok though and not to worry (I owe you BIG time Candy!!!) Sunday morning we got up and headed to Panama to say our goodbyes to my Grandpa. This was little man's first big trip and he did GREAT!! We all took turns driving... and we got to my uncle's in about 4 1/2 hours. After visiting there for a while we headed into Panama to check into our hotel. Then my uncle arrived and we headed to my Grandpa's to visit with more...
