Epcot-Day 4

This was the closest I ever got to tears---and I was real close.  As we were waiting in line for Epcot to open, Leigh threw up.  It was one of those "I have no idea what to do" moments.  I mean, we are at Disney and we are paying a lot, but I definitely don't want to push a sick little one!  After texting Zeb, I decided to go on and get her a Sprite and see what happens.  As we get through the gate Sam tells me he needs a bandaid for his tummy because it hurts.  Thankfully that was just a false alarm!  We come up with a new seating arrangement (see below) and we are off!



SB just did a school project on tomatoes so she had to pose by the tomato facts.

By the time we make our way through the sculpted characters, we find a park.  All three wanted to play--even Leigh! I cautiously let her play because I though even Disney workers might get upset if they have to clean up throw up from the same person all before 9 am! Thankfully she was fine the rest of the day.  She didn't eat much, but only got sick one more time around 1:20 a.m.








Love Sam's arm around Leigh!

Both girls got to talk to Crush





Zeb joined us right before lunch and we got in a few rides!



Alice was by far the sweetest character.  She really chatted quite a bit with the kids.




Naps seemed extra hard this day!


We went back to Epcot after naps and did a few things before it started really raining.  We decided to go to a Mexican place we like that isn't too far away!

I was sharing my salsa with Sam in this picture!  I love it because he typically isn't this happy with me! He always wants his Daddy!








Animal Kingdom

As we did every day, we waited for Animal Kingdom to open and headed straight for the Safari.  It had rained all night so the animals were very playful!  It was such a hit, we did it two times in a row1








Pocahontas


Flights of Wonder show


Kali River Rapids--All dry


All wet...



After a nap and a change of clothes, we headed back to Animal Kingdom with Zeb!  

getting on Everest Expedition




Then we saw the Nemo show.  Hands down our favorite show we saw!  A definite must see!


Then we met up with the Stewarts for an African dinner at Boma!  The kiddos all did a little dancing.


Sweet, sweet bedtime stories...

Hollywood Studios

Day 2 was the first day I was by myself with the kiddos.  Zeb was in a conference most of the day.  I have to admit, I was nervous, but it was easy! The kids did great.  It's amazing that with my sense of direction we got as much done as we did!


We rode the toy story ride 4 times that day!  It was great!!

Getting ready for Toy Story



Then we went to Disney Jr. Live.  Again, all three really liked this.  They got to see Mickey and friends, Doc McStuffins, Sophia the 1st, and Jake and the Never Land Pirates.





Sam was so excited about meeting Mickey when he had a HAT on!  You would never know it by his face!

Even though I had to explain what "Honey, I shrunk the kids was", my three had a blast on the playground.  It made this Mamma nervous.  It was hard to keep up with them.  Thankfully there was only one way in and out!  






After naps, Zeb came back with us for about two or three hours.  We saw Beauty and the Beast.  The girls never took their eyes off the stage!
















Zeb had a work dinner, but we met up with the Stewarts for dinner at Mamma Melrose.  It was so good--definitely a must if you like Italian.

Leigh and Conner

As we were running from dinner to Toy Story for one more ride, we passed these two guys!  Of course, we had to stop for a pic!


Conner, Brayden, Leigh, Sara Beth, and Sam ready for the 4th and final time on Toy Story
