Here we are at EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow). It was very bright and sunny -hot-humid the day we were there. We enjoyed all the rides, Soarin was our favorite. It is like a hang glider ride over California, including the Golden Gate bridge, Napa valley, the Sierras, Palm Springs, the Pacific Ocean and of course Disney Land and the fireworks and Tinkerbell. It was such a real feeling of flying and the movie was so real that Paige lifted her feet up when we went over the Russian river and their were people in the movie fishing, she didn't want to kick them in the head. It was too funny! The girls also braved the G.M. Test Track for their dad. Paige was not thrilled about going on it. Then it turns out her favorite part of the ride is that fastest part when you go up to 60 mph in the convertible cars around the outside of the building.

We also enjoyed walking around World Showcase Lagoon and visiting all of the different countries. The girls colored a mask in Mexico and then collected stamps and a charm from each country for their mask. They each got their names written on their mask in China and Japan, that was cool.

Make sure to visit my Blog of the day for a great picture of Mike, it will make ya smile:)
It's Dory, Marlin and Nemo!
The Seagulls in the background of this photo of Paige and Megan are just like the ones in "Finding Nemo". They squawk and say "mine mine mine" every so often. The kids thought that was hilarious!

In Mexico there were some artist carving these little figures out of wood and then painting them with bright paint and tiny little patterns. They were fun to look at, so colorful and creative.






We found these cute little Viking's in Norway after we rode the Viking boat ride...another fun and exciting ride.

Did you know that the legend of Trolls comes from Norway? Just goes to show you learn something new every day. Also the Disney cast members from Norway are very very tall...the men and woman were all over 6 feet tall.

I couldn't resist taking a picture of this incredible kimono in the Mitsukoshi Departement store, an immense three-centuries-old retail firm known as Japan's Sears Roebuck. I bought myself a book mark and the sales clerk offered to write my name in Japanese on the back. I also bought Paige and Megan each a rice bowl that have these darling little dogs painted on them. I thought they would make cute ice cream bowls.
