Epcot -Vacation Day 3

Here is how our day started..........

Lovely ponchos for all!

Looks like they are having a blast doesn't it?


We went to Epcot for a special breakfast with the princesses. Five of the Disney princesses were there and came around to our table to talk with Natalia. She was in heaven! The boys were happy too, because the food was so GOOD! Blueberry muffins, croissants, berries, peaches, granola and yogurt, bacon, breakfast potatoes, sausage, juice, apple pastries, scrambled eggs, and some crazy breakfast herring. =) YUM!



Then we went out to face the rain again. I decided to make the most of it, and we did an impromptu photo session. I have quite a few inspirations for this shot, but the main one is......

Ya, I jumped like 10 times. Lincoln soon got the hang of it, so he actually caught me in the air instead of on the ground! Great fun. People thought I was a bit crazy as they walked by.






HP is a sponsor of one of the rides at Epcot. They have a special VIP lounge for HP employees and you can only get in with your work badge. We were excited to go hang out (out of the rain!) and eat some free food.....BUT this is only open during the week. We were there on a Saturday. boo.

My baby looks so small compared to a giant planet.

LOL!



Bumped her head on Jupiter!






We waited for the big kids and Daddy a long time while they rode Test Track! She and I watched the little birds hop around. She LOVED them. One hopped right up to us, and she squealed and scared him off. This was her favorite part of the day.
Lincoln didn't buy an umbrella. He bought a sombrero. Basically a no hands umbrella, right? He got a lot of smiles and compliments as we walked through the rain. I love him, he is crazy.


The kids in China.


Us in China.


Talia getting Snow White's autograph. Snow White is her favorite....obviously...the matching dress kind of gives that away.



Wyatt, I don't know where you are. Somewhere between countries waiting outside a restroom. The light was pretty, and you looked so handsome in restroom land.

Simone in Morocco.

-Me too


-and Wyatt there too.


The red phone booth in the United Kingdom.


I love this picture! I love them both so much.

I walked through this French bakery to see all the lovely things I was too full to eat. The bakery smelled heavenly. I sent Talia (aka "the super smeller") to go have a turn. See that look on her face? Yep, just smelled heaven look. She had to hold the door frame to keep from falling down it smelled so good.




On our way to the exit I saw these stars in the ground, and snapped a quick picture. Goodbye Epcot!

We had a great day at Epcot, even with the rain. We bought some crazy souvenirs, and lost quite a few things too! The food was so good. We had that amazing princess breakfast, then lunch in Japan, dessert crepes in France, and Mexican food for dinner.

One funny thing about Talia this trip. Every time we went to a restaurant she would ask us if they had salsa. We were at a sandwich place, an Irish restaurant, and our Japanese lunch, and she would BEG us to ask the server if they had salsa even though we had already told her they didn't! We had Mexican for dinner to appease her burning desire for salsa. (Where did this come from? She doesn't eat it very often at home.) The salsa ended up being REALLY spicy. Lincoln went and got her a side of chopped tomatoes and told her it was salsa and she was totally happy! I wish I knew she could be fooled so easily a bit sooner!

The Mary Poppins picture is my fave. Or maybe the one of Simone napping in Talia's nap. Or...aw let's be serious - they're all great! Brought back fun memories to browse your Epcot pictures. When I was a Pillsbury Bakeoff Finalist, we got to spend a few hours there and loved roaming around the ethnic villages.
