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.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

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.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
