Epcot

-





Today was Epcot Day.  I love Epcot but I didn't think that it would be the best day for the boys. Well, I was wrong.  I think it was Sam's favorite place.  He loved all the rides at Epcot - Soarin', Spaceship Earth, Nemo, Test Track and Frozen.  Sam had a list of questions that he asked before every ride:  1) Does it go up and down? 2) Does it go upside down? 3) Does it go backwards? Then we said, "will we just go slow and look at the characters?" As long as all the answers were to Sam's satisfaction he would say "Cool!".  He literally asked this before every ride and a couple of times if the lines were long.  He was so cute.

The first ride of the day was Nemo. I rode this with Sam and he loved it! Then we went to take pictures in Bruce's mouth.

Next we went to ride "Soarin."  This was everyone's favorite ride of the day (except for Sam).  Sam's favorite ride was Spaceship Earth.  He loved being in the big ball - probably because it is the slowest ride in the whole world.




Next we went to the Tour of Countries to eat lunch at Liberty Inn.  It has been my favorite place to eat.









Then we went to meet Baymax but we accidentally went to the wrong spot and met Mickey, Minnie and Goofy.











Then we got in the correct line to meet Baymax.  It was about this time that we got separated from Papa. Nana went to look for Papa; Emily, Cooper and Hank went to ride Soarin; and Michael, Sam, Finn and I went to ride Test track.








Finn and Sam loved this.  They both created a car.  Sam's was so funny - but it out performed Finn's by one point (202/201).  Then we did a virtual test.  Sam was so upset when the ride was over.  He begged to ride it again.  But the line was 50 minutes and we couldn't wait it.




The boys would not stand still. 


Then we all met up at Frozen.  We were so excited to see Papa there!  Frozen was great. Everyone loved Frozen.  It was a great ride - the waiting area was so incredible.





After the ride we got a snack - I tried the frozen banana - then we caught a bus to Hollywood Studios.





 We ate pizza at Rizzo's Pizza and then went to watch Fantasmic.  We all loved it, of course.






Sam trying Tiramisu for the first time. 



He didn't care for it.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.
