Another "Magical" Day!

Back to Epcot for the bulk of the day! It is impossible to see all of Epcot in one day! Oh, wait, that word is no longer in my dictionary! Well, it's very difficult to see and do everything. So, first we hit "Test Track". It's a great ride recommended to us by the Evanson's. Actually, we rode it once at the end of the day on Saturday too but needed to do it again. At the end of it, there was a Chevy Volt. Dave does not often express a desire for material possessions but he has expressed an interest in the Volt. So, we took a picture of him by it.
Then off to the country pavillion again. Who knew we would find China in the middle of Florida? It was great. We ate some Danish pastries, saw amazing films on China and Canada and had to have fish and chips from Britain one more time. After Matt and Hannah created their own track for a roller coaster, we decided we could use a little down time. So, we headed "home" for some swimming and reading/napping. Mom went whirlwind shopping for an hour. For all you moms out there who need to dress your kids, you cannot beat JC Penney for boys suits and white shirts. And you cannot beat Ross for brand name t-shirts and socks for kids. Want to hire me to be your personal shopper? When I grow up, I want to be...
Before we came, we purchased some tickets for an NBA game. It was tonight. The Orlando Magic vs.the Detroit Pistons. We got there early and enjoyed all the pre game hype. We got our faces painted, walked around all the concourses and ate a vendor hot dog. (Dave's favourite!) The atmosphere was electrical!Everyone was so pumped! The fans were enthusiastic and fun. It was nothing like some hockey games we've been to. The fans were not rude or obnoxious. (Sorry to all the hockey fans out there...) We had such a great time! We may even now be convinced to be Orlando Magic die hard fans. It was fantastic. Oh, and the Detroit Pistons won by 7 points. Oh well...
So, off to Hogwart's tomorrow...Can't wait...

  1. I thought you ALREADY are my personal shopper!?! Sounds like I just have to go to Epcot to see/taste the world. One stop shopping-does it get any better? Cool car, Dave. Enjoy a butterbeer and some Bertie Bott's tomorrow with Harry and the gang :)

  3. Yes, I would love you to be my personal shopper! Not that I don't enjoy it, I just don't enjoy taking the kids along with me. Epcot sounds so much fun!
