EPCOT, May 5th

 Epcot was one of our favorite parks. Steve's childhood dream came true, he finally got to see what was inside the giant ball. This park had something for everyone in the family. We finally figured out how to get Spencer to sleep, while at the parks. We had to go for a car ride, drive around until he feel asleep and the carefully move him into the stroller. He would sleep for about 1-2 hours, long enough to keep him from having a total melt down.
 Two of my favorite pictures and for very different reasons. The first one I just like. I love all the mirrors and how they catch all the color.
 I was people watching, while waiting for the kids to come off of Test Track and saw this couple. They are my favorite, simply because they were there all by themselves, and they don't walk they shuffle. I should have video taped them. It was so funny, and cute to watch them. My favorite part of the whole trip, the best thing to happen at any of the parks happened at Epcot. We are walking out, passing the lake were all the floating flowers are, and there is a huge crowd gathering. We are trying to figure out what is going on and then we see it. There is a teenage boy trying to swim across. To bad for him there are security guards on both sides and police officers walking in.
 Spencer, watching the train run through the village, just outside of Germany. He could have stayed here for hours. He threw quite the fit when I had to pry his hands off the rail.

This was so cute, I want one of these as a tree house in my backyard.
If you ever go to Disney World see if you can find Pascal?
Everything amazed Spencer. He LOVES all the characters in Mickey Mouse Club House , he can say all of their names. So anytime he saw one of them, he would say their name run to it, and well you can see the joy on his face. 
Day 4 we spent at Epcot. Day 5 we split up between the parks. We asked the kids what rides were their favorites and what they wanted to see on their last day. Dallin choose Buzz Light Year and Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom. Eliza choose Splash Mountain, and then wanted to head over to Hollywood Studios for Tower of Terror, and Rockin Roller Coaster. She is the BIGGEST roller coaster junkie, she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES them. After that it was off to Epcot for Test Track, and Space Mission. The kids also wanted to go to Japan. I think they were hoping I would change my mind about buying more stuffed animal, specifically the Pokemon ones, I didn't. We hung out for a little and listened to one of the Monkey's band members sing, before the laser light show. It was a great fire work show, it was a good way to end all the park fun.
Dallin watching the show. The globe floats through the water, to the center the lake. When it opens there is huge ball of fire and then more fireworks.
You can see how exhausted Eliza is, it's how we all felt.
Rachel started this really cute idea of having them jump in the front of each country land mark in Epcot. We carried on the tradition the next day.

Rachel has the other countries, I need to get the pictures from her. Thanks again for the great idea.
