Epcot

Thursday, we started off the day with breakfast at Boma, a restaurant in the Animal Kingdom lodge. This hotel is amazing. The decorations are beautiful and so different from anywhere else we had been. I am so glad that we stopped here for a relaxing start to our day.

While I was waiting on the check, Wesley took Jackson behind the resort where the animals roam. He was able to get an up-close look at some giraffes and birds. Wesley said he really enjoyed that part of the morning.



After breakfast, we headed to Epcot. First up, was the Spaceship Earth ride. Last time we were in Disney, Wesley and I rode that ride and it was okay. They have updated it since then, and it is pretty amazing. The ride is very interactive and all three of us enjoyed it.

At the end of the ride, you are able to explore new toys and inventions. Jackson and Wesley played a video game on the ground. I couldn't believe it but Jackson quickly figured out how it worked and enjoyed playing with his Daddy.


Another renovated attraction at Epcot was the Innovations area. We were searching for a picture place and entered the first part of Innovations. It was so neat. The highlight was a fire safety game and the opportunity to play on a real fire truck. Jackson loved the fire truck and Wesley and I enjoyed competing in the fire safety game.




After the fire exhibit, we went on a search for the restrooms. The search lead us to another Innovations building. When we entered, I thought I was going to flip out. Jackson has become fascinated...almost obsessed...with "tash tucks" (aka trash trucks). He is constantly searching for one when we are driving.

When we walked into this second building, on display was a real life trash truck. A new exhibit was centered around trash and recycling. We waited in line so that Jackson and Tucker could participate. Though they had no interest in the game, they loved pushing around their kiddie sized trash truck. It was one of the highlights of the trip for Jackson!



The rest of Epcot was very low-key. I was pretty exhausted by this point and Baby Philip was giving me lots of clues to slow down! We spent an hour resting in the Baby Center and then headed home early. Thankfully, a little water and some rest was all I needed to feel better by Friday.
