Disney Day 4-Epcot
We got a little bit of a late start today...it's all starting to catch up to us at this point! We had a quick breakfast at the food court at the hotel.
Then it was on to Epcot!
We get parked and I go to get the stroller out of the car and one of the wheels had broken off!! Unbelievable! What am I going to do with Lily all day? She loves the carrier, but I don't think she'll enjoy it all day. And, the strollers to rent are way too big and uncomfortable for a tiny baby. Crap.
Well, lucky me, the stroller still worked with 3 wheels! I'm sure we got some crazy looks, but oh well. I didn't even realize how strange it must have looked until I got home and saw some of the pictures. Here's one from later in the trip: nice hunh?
My first stop of the day was Guest Services. I was talking to someone at the concierge desk at the hotel about our Pirate Party getting rained out and he suggested going there and seeing if they might issue us another ticket for a different day. I figured it was worth a shot, all they could say was no right? Well, after waiting for about 20 minutes, I walked out of there with 3 tickets to the Pirate Party for Saturday night! I was thrilled! Yea Disney! Our 2nd attempt would be tomorrow night and hopefully there would be no rain.
We had such a late start and unexpected delays that my plan for the day was thrown off completely. We decided to do a couple of things in Future World-Test Track, Soarin and Living with the Land.
Next up: a trip around the world.
We met some crazy bears in Canada:
We did a little shopping, Gavin's souvenir for the day, a new Webkin he named Buddy:
Then Gavin decided he was hungry. Grandpa was having a brat with sauerkraut and Gavin wanted some. I was totally grossed out, but he loved it! He ended up getting one of his own and I believe he ate most of it, if not the entire nasty thing.
Every other time we've gone to Epcot, the only place we've really had luck with characters was in Future World in the building where they are most of the day. This time, the line there was crazy long so we skipped it, but ran into characters throughout the park:
Gavin also did the Passport thing again this year. Last year he filled out the entire book, this time only about a third of it got done.
We decided to call it a day at about 5 or so I think. Anthony was done golfing and waiting for us to have dinner. I don't remember where we went to eat, but we pretty much hung out and rested a bit that night. I think Grammy and Grandpa went to MK to watch Wishes. Fun day!
Then it was on to Epcot!

Disney Day 3 part 2-MGM
Or Disney Studios as it's now called. Strange to change the name of a park, but whatever.
We had a dinner reservation tonight at 50's Prime Time Cafe. I've never been there before, so we thought we'd try it out. I think it was my least favorite meal of the whole trip. There wasn't much to choose from and none of it was my kind of food. Bummer.
We didn't spend too much time at this park, we didn't even ride any rides. We did however see the Muppets 3D show, it was OK. Gavin seemed to like it too.
After that, we headed over to meet some characters.
JoJo & Goliath:
One of the Little Einsteins, Leo I think:
Mr Incredible:
That was it. We were pretty tired and knew we had another busy day tomorrow, so we called it a night and headed back to the hotel. Fun Day!

Lily got her ears pierced!
What a big girl she was! She cried for less than a minute and then was happy as can be. Whew. Glad that's over, I was so nervous!
Easter
We had a fun Easter this year!
We made cookies and Gavin made a cute note:
I was reading Jen's blog and she made a comment about Easter starting to look like Christmas and I must agree. I was just going to get Gavin the CuttleKids die cutter (which he loves by the way) and some candy, but Anthony decided that a craft item was not OK. He thought Gavin needed some "boy" stuff to balance it out. Needless to say it got a little out of hand each of us trying to keep up with the other. Ridiculous. We will keep things in perspective next year.
Even Gavin himself was surprised:
Lily loves her new seat:
Church was good, except Lily had a blowout and I got poop on my shirt and had to go home and change because I was teaching.
Then we had our family over for dinner- I made my first prime rib! I think it turned out pretty good, not a lick left of that 10 pound piece of meat! But, I forgot to take pictures. :(
I love Easter and spring and I'm so glad there's an end to winter soon!
