Early Morning Adventures
– Day 1
This
past spring, we learned about many countries. Monday, we will have a chance to
see many exhibits from all over the world. We will have a lot of choices about
which countries to investigate further. We might want to get a taste of China by seeing where Little
Pear lived, float down the Haungpu River, see agile acrobats,
climb the beautiful Huanshan Mountains to the mythical Sea of Clouds, and travel to places
Marco Polo described in his writings.
Maybe we will want to learn more about France – one of Fancy Nancy’s favorite places! Ooh la la – we can see the beautiful places fairy tales were born -- a land of princesses and enchanted castles! Through a movie screen, we can ride with horsemen and hunting dogs, visit a busy marketplace, and listen to music by French composers Debussy and Ravel.
Her
Highness, the Queen, is holding a feast and we are all invited! We will dine
inside a medieval castle with soaring archways and cathedral ceilings. These adventures and more will fill our
Monday!
Monday, we spent the day at Epcot. Though I initially figured the kids would get tired of all the exhibits and would rather just ride things, it didn't work out like that. We ended up spending the entire day at Epcot. Lines were really long, and the day was hot, but tolerable. Lunch was a fancy one with the princesses at Aksherus -- we all enjoyed Norwegian food, and Maddie loved visiting and hugging all the Disney princesses: Cinderella, Ariel (Little Mermaid), Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Snow White, and Belle (Beauty and the Beast). Will got a bunch of laughs when he told Snow White we were a table of bad apples. The boys all did eventually warm up to the princesses, but I think they thought only Maddie was allowed to have fun there. Some of the family's favorite rides were FastTrack and Mission to Mars. A few went back to ride again, while I took Maddie and Jon to see a few of the characters. It was a great day, but we were all exhausted by the end of it.
