Epcot (Day 2)

We have never been to Epcot before, and...we probably won't be going back any time soon.  We did a Nemo ride first, which the kids loved, and then sat through an interactive talk with Crush the Turtle that was great. And then....Savannah fell on the escalator.  She had big scrapes on
her ankles and was scared and upset. But...we coaxed her to ride again and again, so she would not be scared from that point on.  By the end of our trip, she was begging me to go on the escalator, so I think that was a good move. We were dumped into a gift shop and then Gage had a meltdown because he wanted a toy.  It went downhill from there. He was tired. Cranky. Crying. All he could think about was a Nemo car that he saw. Savannah was mopey from her boo-boos. Daddy gave them a "you guys had better snap out of it, stop crying and have fun or else I'll go work for the whole week" talk.  We finally recovered and headed to the World Showcase.  I think Adam and I would have loved checking out all the countries, but the  kids were bored. We did find a few fun things...like some cutout totem pole things in Canada

  
We had lunch at the Biergarten in Germany.  Adam saw the buffet and pronounced that Mama had done a good job choosing lunch. The kids were happy with mac & cheese, Savannah loved  the spaetzel with cheese. Gage loved the sausage and pretzel rolls. Savannah thought her gigantic stein of chocolate milk was awesome, and Mommy made the mistake of ordering a large beer. In Germany. It was large. Very large.

 We also went to Norway and found a giant troll and rode a viking ship.

 We ran into Chip & Dale

and...we called the day short.  We took everyone back to the hotel to nap...because (a) they were bored, and (b) we were going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party later that night!! 
We will go back to Epcot when the kiddos are older..much older....
