DisneyWorld - EPCOT

We had a great time at Epcot.  We were kind of slow going on rides in the morning because Claire's not tall enough for Soarin' or Test Track.  Soarin' was Lily's favorite ride and she would get so excited waiting in line that she could not hold still.  It was funny (and annoying).  She rode Test Track with Jeff.  She said she liked it, but she didn't want to go again with me.

Then, when the World Showcase opened we enjoyed traveling the world!  Since we had extra snack and meal credits we decided to eat around the world as well.  The first stop was Mexico where we enjoyed a boat ride with the 3 Caballeros and then some tacos and Manzanita!

Then we went to Norway.  We rode the Maelstrom and got away from the trolls.

Claire loves to "honk" noses.  Here she is honking the Troll's nose.

Then we went to their bakery for some school bread.
Next up was China.  We sampled some egg rolls.  The video about China is my favorite!
Then onto Germany where we had a caramel filled chocolate cookie.  probably not German, but definitely delicious.
Then we went to Italy (but we didn't eat anything... we were getting full).
Next, we went to the American Pavillion. The Drum and Fife band had a parade that Lily and Claire participated in.  An then we listed to the Liberty Singers, an awesome a capella group.
Afterwards we rode a friendship boat back to future world so we could hit some of the rides we skipped earlier.  We also met Daisy Duck.
When we started to get hungry again we went back to the World Showcase.  We visited Canada (it looks a lot like Washington).
Then we went to the UK pavillion to get some fish and chips.  We couldn't find a seat at the tables, so we thought we'd sit at some benches by the water.  As I was walking down with our food a seagull flew over my shoulder and stole a WHOLE PIECE OF FISH!  I was so mad!  I went back up to the counter and they gave me another piece of fish, but there was no way I was going near the water again.  Fortunately, table full of teens from China invited us to sit with them.  Then the birds left us alone.  I don't like seagulls anymore.

Then we went to the France pavillion.  Here's me kissing Jeff; that's the Eiffel Tower peeking out in the background.
Here are the girls playing in the fountain.
We cashed in at the French Bakery and enjoyed some sort of pastry, cheesecake, and chocolate cake (the cake of the day).  Maybe this is why i gained 6 pounds!  :o)

After this, we breezed through Morocco on our way to Japan.  We had Teriyaki in Japan, but my favorite was the strawberry adzuki bean ice cream we had for dessert.  No pictures from Japan because it got too dark.

Before we went home, we stopped to listen to some 80's British rock in the UK pavillion.
