.: Epcot

Lucky for us the day we spent at Epcot was the only day we had to call it quits come 4:00 p.m. because of rain. It started out as a beautiful day but the clouds rolled in and we rolled out. But we did accomplish quite a bit. We just did not get a chance to walk around all the "countries." What I didn't realize was how futuristic/electronic Epcot really is. We went on the ride in the great sphere and it had us play a game while on the ride about what we would want our future world to be. It was so funny because they cropped our images from a pic they take at the beginning of the ride and then show us in our new world. I'm sure I'm not explaining it right, so just do the ride whenever you go! Then they had these great Children Museum areas where they teach kids about almost everything. We opted to do our own video game and the Piggy Bank Savings game. The kids really enjoyed just walking around these little museums and tinkering with what they could. Epcot is also the place where they had everything from Finding Nemo! The ride was so fun and when you end it takes you out to the huge aquarium they have set up for all this marine life. Walking around inside was amazing. The kids favorite part was looking through all the tanks and seeing which Nemo marine life they could find. Then after spending quite some time inside the aquarium we did the Nemo show, which is where Crush interacts with the audience, and that was hilarious. Unfortunately we were unable to do the iFly ride!! We were so bummed out but we forgot to get Fast Passes and line was way too long. So instead we opted to go to the GM race track ride and that was UNBELIEVABLE!! At first it starts you off real slow, mimicking some test scenarious for race cars. But then it shoots you out to an outside track and goes SUPER fast! Of course only Jared, Kike, and I rode (Jackson got freaked out when he saw how fast it would really go and Mikaela was too short), but we thought it was the highlight of the day! And that's pretty much it. We attempted to go and walk around the countries and made it to China when the rain started. We decided not to even wait it out because pretty much it's just walking around and seeing how all the countries top sights have been recreated. So we called it a day and headed home:)

In front of the big sphere. What is this thing really? That was the biggest question of our day!

Inside the Children's Museums. I was shocked by how much even Lex liked it in here. There was this section where everything was minature and I think she felt right at home!

Lex was an amazing trooper the ENTIRE trip. Especially with the fact that she cut TWO teeth in the week that we were there. Yup that's right TWO!! Poor thing. The one thing we found out was her sweet relief from all her gums was eating Golfish crackers! I don't know what it was, but if she ever got restless in the stroller, we'd whip out those crackers and she'd be happy as a clam! Here she is chowing down.
