    Hanging out together at Epcot

    The kids loved learning about the various countries in Epcot’s World Showcase.  We got to see many shows, talk with a lot of people, learn about the countries, visit the Kid’s Epcot sections and more.  We were not able to get a lot of pictures from the actual shows because several of them do not allow photography during the presentation.

    At the China World Showcase we got to watch the Dragon Legend Acrobats!  It was fascinating.  They did some awesome jumps and tricks over basically a thin carpet pad and cement.

    The girls loved talking with all the people at the Kidcot stations at every country.  They had their passports stamped and signed in all the different languages around the showcase.

    It was a neat show to watch.  The kids were able to get up front and see everything which was cool.

  • Travel & Vacation: Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom (Orlando, FL)

    Festival of the Lion King

    Karlie had been wanting to go to the Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom all day, but every time we passed that area we were not there at a time close to show time or we were heading for another activity.  We finally got a chance to go towards the end of the day and we only had about a 15 minute wait in the stand-by line.

    The girls were hoping that the show had live animals, but were pleasantly surprised by all the cool things to watch (even though there were no live animals).  We got great seats only three rows from the front.  If you are looking for a good show, a cool place on a hot day, and a place to sit down and be entertained this is a good spot to go.  It was a really neat show.

    These orange “creatures” did some amazing flips right in front of us!

    The lights, smoke, and movement made it harder to capture all the cool pictures, but this was beautiful!

    The girls had a fun time trying to figure out what animals all the people were dressed up as.
