Epcot!

By -

Our car was so wet from the massive rain the night before that our seats left a wet spot on our behinds! Poor Aaron really looked like he wet his pants!

At rope drop we raced with about a hundred of our newest friends to Remy's Ratatouille

 - smell-a-vision is way cool! Bakery bread scent was yum; being flicked with water from the mop; and feeling the heat from the grill were cool too!


Breakfast in Norway was yummy! Well, everyone loved theirs, but I was not a fan of mine - lefse, which tasted like a potato tortilla with butter. Not for me. 






Turtle Talk with Crush - Charlie was selected to ask a question and he asked Crush what he likes to do under the sea, he likes to catch a wave. Charlie answered his question and told him who Buzz Lightyear is!






We had lunch in Mexico and told the story of how I eat there every time I come to Epcot since I was a little girl. The view was beautiful and my chipotle chicken enchiladas were delicious!





Sarah Graves loved visiting the countries in the World Showcase and collecting stamps for her "passport"!


Charlie looks happy in this photo, but he was annoyed that we went to the Beauty and the Beast sing along! I loved singing along to the cute song and they retold the story in a fun way making it feel different. 

He was intrigued with Mission Space. We were encouraged multiple times to consider if the Orange mission was right for us! Many times they reminded all of us you could switch to Green mission and that this ride had tight spaces and strong spinning! We successfully completed our mission without incident. The kids got a real kick out of the barf bags available!

They also enjoyed riding Soarin'. It is so magical and you really feel like you are at beautiful places like the Eiffel Tower. 




We were excited to happen upon Snow White, Jasmine, and the real surprise was seeing Mary Poppins!

Seeing characters at a distance isn't the same as going up close, but it is nice that you don't have to wait in line to see them!




Charlie really wanted to see the Canada movie and I had no idea there is a cool waterfall in the Canada area! 

A little snake bit from our rain experience in Hollywood Studios led us to duck into Journey to Imagination with Figment. It worked out great! We missed the rain and I got to tell the kids about seeing Figment when I was little. 









Since we had time to spend while it rained, we found these photo booths and had fun taking pictures together!






The fireworks show was breathtaking! The lights over the lagoon and the tons of fireworks were captivating. We had a great spot looking at World Showcase with a straight view of the lagoon.

Check-Up

By -
Since Sarah Grves did not listen to our request and come over the weekend, we had our scheduled check-up this morning.  All looks good.  My blood pressure and measurements continue to be fine.  We heard her heartbeat and it always makes me smile to hear that sweet sound.  We also talked about my growing anxiety about not going into labor on my own.  Anjili is very reassuring that 90% of women do go into labor by 42 weeks and we have every reason to believe that I will too.  We also talked a bit about how even if we do have to use pitocin to induce labor it doesn't have to be as bad as I feared.  She said that she will try to make it possible to be able to move around even though you are hooked up to the monitor and the IV.  Hopefully, we will go into labor on our own! One of the things that she cautioned us about is that even though family and friends are well meaning and excited to meet the new baby, the constant focus on whether labor has begu...

 We had a great start to summer! Downtime at the lake with family was perfect after the busy rush at the end of school! We spent time with Aunt Brenda, Nikki, Andrea, Bobby, Fisher, Brennan, Kade, Aunt Linda, and Maw Maw.  Time by the fire pit laughing and telling stories. No idea why I don't have pictures of Charlie or Aaron, but they were there! Time for a boat ride! In May the water is still cool but feels good after you get used to it! Good to have some time to bob! The much anticipated karaoke night! Nikki and Aunt Linda had us rolling as they performed their first number with instruments! Bobby joined in and Livy was his backup singer! Pops with the house band! My favorite karaoke stars! We even got Aaron up to sing!  We laughed so hard, cheered for each other, sang our hearts out, and had a wonderful time! Steak! And a lot of it! Yum! Charcuterie lunch! Everyone loves dips and snacks Kade surprised Brennan and proposed at Cheaha! I was in on the surprise so that th...

Mystery Tour

 Every six years there is a choir tour referred to as Mystery Tour since the kids (and parents) have no idea where they are going! We dropped her off super early and stalked facebook for clues about where she might be going!  As Ms. Kim gave her talk before they left, parents listened in and I love how she explained that they are representing not only our church, but Jesus in the world and need to behave that way.  Lovie was tracking her watch and could see them heading to Florida, Ft. Lauderdale to be exact! Yes, they spent a day at Universal Studios! There were stops in Charleston and Savannah They also went to Virginia Beach Stop at an alpaca farm! In addition to singing, Sis played the flute in the ensemble.  We thoroughly enjoyed their homecoming concert too!
