Day 6: Epcot

Epcot Center!  Today was odd.  This morning, all the girls but Mac said they wanted to stay at the house and play together.  Ummm, we're in Disney World, and you guys want to play at home?!  Whatever.  We weren't going to argue.  So us (save Leiden), Grandma, Rob, and Alex took off to Epcot.

 

Here's Mimi with Nemo.  The Nemo ride, one of the few kids rides at Epcot, was closed, so we had to make do with the fish outside! 

Today was actually the first day we broke out the leash--for like 5 minutes, and then realized it wasn't going to work.  She's just too big with a young mind that doesn't listen. 

Epcot is really geared towards adults, but the kids loved the splash pad! 

Later this afternoon, Grandma stayed home with all the kids, while Brad and I went back with Rob and Adria.  This was a birthday present for Rob that Brad and I also benefitted from!  It was REALLY lovely to spend time without trying to keep track of kids, and to be able to go on grown-up rides was awesome.  There is a ride here that I think was one of my very favorites--Mission: Space.  It's awesome.  It made Brad sick, but I thought it was SO fun.

We had some video of Rob's birthday song and cheesecake with candles, but I've tried four separate times to upload it to Blogger, and it won't let me.  The adults enjoyed a variety of cheesecakes, and the kids enjoyed--maybe too much--little birthday cupcakes!  Mimi chose to smear her frosting all over the table.  Happy Birthday, Rob!

It's also an important day on another front--my parents 40th anniversary is today!  Congratulations, Mom and Dad!
