Epcot

Monday morning we headed to Epcot.

Once again I enjoyed the street performers so much. The JAMMitors drumming on their trash cans were very entertaining.

Michael was anxious to see Living With the Land. I always enjoy that ride and seeing the vegetation growing above ground. Michael wants to have that kind of garden when they build their new home. It will be interesting to see how he does it. 

The Mickey Mouse pumpkin was formed by putting a small pumpkin in a Mickey mold (see previous photo, upper right) and it grows to fit the space.

 There were lots of quotes on the walls as we were waiting in line. This one was my favorite.

We covered the land. Then we were on to discover The Seas.

  
We definitely found Nemo--lots of them!!

I enjoyed reading how a person can avoid a shark bite. My advice is to not ever go in the water!!

This was a colorful ride.

We were walking around the Showcase Plaza area which had lots of arts and crafts for sale and saw something in the sky. This is definitely a way to get people to look up and think of Jesus.

We visited each of the countries bordering the water. 

 There were lots of beautiful sights to see.

 

We even saw beautiful Mary Poppins walk by.

Michael had his heart set on eating fish and chips. He waited a while in the long line, but finally made it to the front of the line and enjoyed every bite of his lunch.

Oh look! There's Goofy!

Halfway through the countries, Lynn and I shared a flatbread. Glen was still on the prowl for some food that sounded good to him.

 

Michael loves Mickey Mouse ice cream bars and ate one or two almost every day. 

In case the jackets and wind don't help tell the temperature story--we were in Orlando in a cold spell and we were cold most of the time we were there.

All of a sudden Michael grabbed Lynn and they were dancing in the middle of the street. They were adorable and it was fun to snap some photos of them enjoying themselves so much for a few minutes. It's as though the millions of people faded into the background for a bit.

 

 

Poor Glen was not finding anything that looked appealing to eat in any of those countries. He ended up eating the granola bars we had brought along with us for his lunch.

The grass-covered buildings were unique.

Why there's Donald Duck enjoying himself in the country of Mexico.

Now this is more like it!! Glen found his favorite treat. Popcorn!

I always had my eye out for an alligator the whole time I was in Florida and I found one up close.

We had another big day of lots of walking. 

We had another park day scheduled the following day.
