Disney for Dinner

Our last Disney experience was an "Eat Around the World" at Epcot.  We'd been bringing in pb&j's all week...but this was our time to dine.

Blood Orange Pudding at Norway...very good...


Here is Lily rocking the "Scandanavian Waif" look.  She does it well ..since she is one....

Germany...toffee...
Did I mention we came hungry?

...a moment's reflection as the sun began to set...


...somewhere in Europe, I imagine...


Small Scandinavian Waif making a wish next to the wishing well...

Waif beginning the motion of throwing her hard-begged coin into the pool...



Waif reconsidering the wisdom of throwing good hard cash into a dumb old pool.  Frugality is very Swedish, don't ya know?
I honestly can't remember if she went for it or not.

China Sunshine

Red Bean Icecream
My idea.
Bad idea.


Gave it to Katie...Katie likes everything.

Katie's very own Oyster murder...her pearl was lovely, though....
No we didn't get to eat the oyster.
What kind of people do you think we are?


Savage carnivores?

Ah...France....or Italy....can't remember.

Chocolate Pastry...most definitely France...
Katie, Katie, Katie

It was tough work, but somebody had to do it...we closed Epcot down...with a few extra pounds perhaps, but no regrets...

Poor little waif....

The next morning...a quick dip...


...a sad goodbye at the airport....
...and the trip was over....
...and it was probably time for it to be over when you see...

...this picture....
One part exhaustion, two parts reaction to a sunscreen...


Gooodbyyyyyeee......Diiiisssssnnneeeeeyyy WWwwwwoorrrllldddd....

Limbo Girl

Ok...quick review...we were in Orlando.  We had gone to Disney every day.  We were going to Epcot later in this day...but first, a little relaxing at the pool.

Sunburns from the beach were an issue...


Lily had just figured out that nice ladies could bring her strawberry dacquiries right in her chair! 

 This IS an amazing discovery in life.  I was glad I could share it with her.


But after awhile...the dacquiri ran out.  And she wasn't getting another.  So she decided she'd go "do the limbo" competition instead!
Doing ok so far!  But the thing is...

...she didn't QUITE get the concept...

(...look at the kid's face behind her......she gets that look from Timmy every day of her life!...)

...but she got a lot of laughs!!!

 
Having not quite achieved the respect status she desired from her limbo performance...
and sensing the audience's disgruntlement with her continuing to compete in such a way...


...she abandoned the limbo competition and picked up the old standby...the hula hoop.

It went....well...not so well....
but she gave it her all...
and her sandals sure were cute!
