A Day in the Life

Stories of two growing children mixed with ramblings from the ether of my mind.

Day 3: Epcot

Day 3 at Disney was at Epcot.  We started with a princess breakfast in Norway.

Here they are at the start of the day in the stroller with daddy.  (Can I tell you how grateful we were that we bought this stroller for the trip?)

Epcot is full of many amazing sculptures.  Really amazing.

And as always they were drawn to water.

Really why can't they be like this all the time?

And breakfast was fit for a princess (and a prince of course!).

Breakfast was with Belle (or in our case two Belle's),

Snow white,

Ariel,

Cinderella,

and Aurora.

They enjoyed rides and shows all day long as well as some "quiet" time while daddy did the spaceship ride (which I then got to do another day).

I was surprised by how much they appreciated the simple things such as the flowers everywhere.  She wanted to pick them, but when I said no, she settled for taking pictures so she could remember them forever.

I thought that was a much better plan. 

And we got to meet more characters throught the day including Mary Poppins

and Alice.

It didn't matter that I don't think she knew who they were.  They were in pretty dresses, which made them princess in her book that she had to meet.  :-)

She loved meeting Beast and talked for hours about he was learning to write, so he couldn't sign her book.  He was enamored because well, she was Belle.

And little guy caught a nap in the stroller again.

I don't know if they liked Lady and the Tramp more or the flowers around them.

And he was extremely excited to see Mickey again! 

Before this trip I had no idea how much Mickey meant to him.  I thought some of the other characters would be at the same level as Mickey, but I was wrong.  If he saw Mickey we had to see him.  Other characters, not so much.

The evening was topped off with a great fireworks display over the lake.  Both enjoyed it and were very ready for bed by the time we got back to our room.



Spring Weather!

This weekend felt like spring.  It was wonderful!  We all got out today and enjoyed the weather.  It was nice to be able to do so - before our yard was so wet you couldn't walk in it without sinking.  Ugh.  So there was bike riding, wagon riding, roller blading (daddy), weed pulling, and lots of bubble mowing on the cul-de-sac.  I'm looking forward to more nice days like this!  Oh, and there are no pictures of any of the activities as I still have so many from our trip to sort through and my hands were covered in dirt as I was the one pulling weeds.  I hate how Bermuda grass keeps getting into my flower beds!  Seems like no matter what I do every time I turn around it is taking over the flower beds.  I'm hoping this year I will stay ahead of it, but I guess time will tell on that one.
