Disney, day 4

On Thursday, we headed to Epcot. Mike and Julie and the girls went to have breakfast with the Princesses, so we headed up there alone in the morning. Right when you walk inside the gate, there are hundreds of flowers and topiaries...Disney surely does everything up right!

When we were walking back to a ride and to meet up w/ the Turners, there was a woman who was just opening her stand that sells these really cool balloon balls. Jeffrey and Josiah were in the right place at the right time because she needed a couple of hands to put her HUGE bouncy ball in its holder...
She let them bounce it a couple of times...she didn't have to ask twice! :-)

And then they hoisted it up into the stand. The question still remains if she really needed help or just wanted to let them help. Either way...it was fun!

Then we headed over to (one of my favorite) a ride called "Test Track". It was awesome to get to ride in a car (like a convertable) that goes super duper fast. Awesome! If Michael had been driving like this car was, I would have been in tears screaming "Honey, PLLLLLEEEEASE slow down!" But since I knew there was no way we could crash, I lived in the moment and enjoyed the really fast ride!
Nearby was a sprinkler thing that the younger set really loved. It goes without saying that by the time this was over, no clothes were dry!


Over in the World Showcase, one of our favorites was Norway. We HAD to take a picture with some Vikings in honor of our friends of Norweigian ancestry...you know who you are! :-)

Such warriors!
And goofballs!
Epcot is certainly a place where you can spend lots of days, because we felt like we barely scratched the surface of all there was to see. Maybe someday we'll get back there.
Tomorrow....Day 5, the return to Magic Kingdom

Loved the pictures, esp. the vikings. I was having a good time with David and Daniel, but I think I missed some fun.

How fun to see the Norway pictures. I missed that part completely! I think that was when I was seeing "The Land of Nod" with my kiddos! :-)
It's so fun to relive the vacation. Thanks for the posts!

Katie has already decided she's going to start saving money now to buy a whole princess outfit complete with wig and shoes next time we go to Disney! LOL!
