Last Day of Disney World Trip: Epcot

Well this is our last post from our recent Disney World trip. We spent the very last day at Epcot. Epcot is Les' favorite park in Disney and after being there I can see why. At first, I have to admit that I wasn't sure I would like Epcot and didn't really even care if we went there, but my preconceived notions were wrong. Epcot was wonderful and ended up being one of my favorite places to visit. First of all, Epcot is so beautiful...the landscape throughout is gorgeous and it is centered around a huge lake. There are so many countries you can walk through that have different rides, shows and shops. We actually needed more than just one day at Epcot and hardly got to touch any of the countries in just one day. One of my favorite rides ended up being at Epcot, the Crash-Test Dummies ride. All and all, it was a great day and a fantastic way to end our week at Disney. Below are some of the pictures we took at Epcot.

Daddy and Lucas in front of the Toy Story bush exhibit at Epcot. What a fun place!

The four of us at Epcot.

Cutie pie in front of this beautiful bush. All of Epcot was so beautifully landscaped. I was completely impressed by that place.


Another shot of my total stud boy in sunglasses. :)

My sweet nieces with Daisy Duck.

The boys in the pre-car test ride area where you get to see how cars get made. This was called Crash Test Ride and it was truly my favorite ride of the entire week. You basically experience what they do to all cars before they can be sold. Was so much fun and would have loved to do this ride again.

Future race car drivers! :)

While the rest of the gang got to go on a ride that was to big for Lucas, we went off and had some of our own fun. They had this recycling/garbage disposal exhibit (yup, right up my sweet boys alley, ha ha). It ended up being pretty interesting and fun for Lucas. We got to complete a personal garbage survey and then pretend to go through the entire process of garbage and recycling disposal. We definitely learned more then we ever thought we would about garbage. It actually took a long time to complete and the rest of the gang were waiting on us for a long time after there ride.


Lucas helping me complete our personal family yearly garbage survey. We found out that our family disposes of an average of 3200 pounds of garbage per year....that's a pretty amazing fact that I never thought I would ever know or should I say need to know, ha ha! :)

Lucas driving the garbage to the dump. :)

Little "viking" cousins.

....and our little "viking" family, ha! :)

Beautiful picture of Lucas and Les in front of the huge lake. A different country lined the entire lake. It was so big, there was noway to see each country in just one day.

Daddy and Lucas outside "Norway".

Can't see the fish very well because it is so dark, but here is Sam pointing to the fish in the aquirium following the Finding Nemo ride.

Taking a little break.

This was very cool....they had these light up musical instrument pads that would light up and play music everytime a child would jump on it. The boys had a blast doing this and we literally let them run around in there for like 15 minutes.

The music pads were so perfect for a wild man Sam to burn off some bottled up stroller energy.

Lucas couldn't have done the music pads forever. He had so much fun.

Pretending to be a frog. That little girl behind Lucas kept following him everywhere and playing with him, so cute.
