Squeeze the MOST out of Every Day!

Our day started at 6am when we left to find Winterpark where we were registered for a 5.2km road race. Unfortunately, the camera battery died so the only photos are on Dave's phone which I didn't down load yet. So, just picture in your mind a crazy family of 6 arriving at the last possible second to pick up race packages with shoes undone, hair unbrushed, looking frazzled. We managed to get our race numbers on - though quite crooked and our race tags on our shoes. We jumped in after the gun had gone off anf had a great run! The course was beautiful. We ran partly through a neighbourhood with homes that resembled castles. Unreal! Free fruit and Cliff bars topped off the event and we left tired - and very happy! We hit some outlets on the way home. Mom declared she would never shop in that attire at home but it's amazing what being anonymous gives you the courage to do. And really, who can pass up a good deal?
The day was not full enough so we quickly came home, changed and headed to Epcot for the afternoon and evening. It was spectacular. Highlights were the food- crepes and quiche in France, cool drinks in Japan that reminded dad of his mission, fish and chips in Britain and an amazing funnel cake. We plan to go back on Monday. We loved Test Track and the fireworks were like an Olympic event. Fantastic! The girls all got to meet Mary Poppins! How neat is that?
Funny story - we went to a presentation in the American Pavillion and were all a little tired so most of us dozed off a few times during it. Sara, though dozed off for most of it and it wasn't until after we had all left that we turned around and noticed Sara was missing. She was still asleep in the theater and we'd all left her there. Thanks to the kind lady who found us and told us where she was! Dave was afraid security might follow us the rest of the night! Guess we were a little worn out - at least that's our excuse!
Why not get the most out of every day? That seems to be a theme here! Hakuna Matata!
