A Monday at Epcot

Another early morning, but with a little bit more hairspray and some bobby pins the girls kept their princess hairdos!  

Epcot was very cool - like 2 different parks.  You could ride Disney rides and then go around the World.  We were able to ride Soarin, participate in Turtle Talk with Crush, the Seas with Nemo and Friends, Test Track, Mission: Space, Maelstrom, have lunch in Norway with the Princesses (Ariel, Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, and Snowwhite - and the autographs we were missing.  I even brought the girls' dresses to wear), Spaceship Earth,  Living with the Land, 
and Journey into Imagination with Figment.  
We were also able visit all of the countries where Kaelin and Hailey got their 'passport stamps'.


K tried caviar - it ended up being the first seafood she DOESN'T like!







Epcot was having a Flower Festival while we were there, so there were a lot of extra little plant exhibits in the Disney themes that were awesome.

Easter Sunday and our day of rest

We decided to take some time off from the parks on Sunday.   It was a very weird Easter for us as we are usually at home celebrating at church and with family.  The Easter bunny visited us at our hotel and even brought the kids' baskets!!  






The view from our hotel room. You can't tell from this pic but someone used pink cloth to spell EASTER on some of the chairs.

Then we headed to Disney's Polynesian resort to have breakfast with Lilo and Stitch (and get their autographs) and see Mickey Pluto and Goofy at O'Hanna.  This was by far Justin's favorite meal I think!  It was a big breakfast served family style with sausage, bacon, eggs, waffles, biscuits, fruit and amazing juice.


 







The guys took K and H down to the pool while I organized and got some rest with Logan.  Then everyone took a wonderful nap.  We had dinner at our hotel - which had an amazing spread because of the holiday!  Kaelin ate about 10 clams and mussels. The kids got their pic with the Easter Bunny. 
(PS the pics of all the desserts are for Amy and Brad...they are always taking pictures of food.)







That evening we headed back to downtown Disney to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.  The girls were transformed into princesses. (I saved about $100 per girl by bringing their own dresses from home!) They got their makeup, nails and hair done.  The Boutique gave them Mickey hair clips, crowns, sashes, 2 bottles of nail polish, some hair ties and stick on gems.

They told her the gem sticker on her cheek was her smile button.
