Disney 2012 - Epcot Day the 2nd

So Friday was a repeat trip back to Epcot, mainly because the parents like it and we had a bit more exploring to do there than elsewhere.  All in all, a pretty quiet day by Disney standards.  No mega free random things, etc.  Since I am writing this a day late, I may miss some highlights.  To the point of the trip where the days blend a bit.

There at the crack of opening where we immediately began hitting the family favorite Soarin'.  By the end of the day, I think we rode it 12 or more times in total.  Ben got quite comfortable with it, even willing to go with eyes open for the fighter jet scene.

The crowds picked up a bit also which we expected with a weekend coming but still nothing that slowed us down a bit.  The overall themes for the week included awesome weather and minimal crowds.

Hit a smorgasbord of snacks at France including a napolean, eclair, and apple turnover.  Drew and Chris liked the napolean, girls went for the turnover.  Ben couldn't commit.  Awesomely, Ben's continued fascination with trash cans continued which was ever so delightful for the rest of us.  Ate lunch in Japan, awesome again especially the green tea ice cream.

Also had a chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream sundae in the morning.  Good eating habits go out the window a bit when we have to fuel 4 pairs of legs for miles of daily walking.

Kate, Drew, and Sherri spent most of the afternoon doing the Agent Perry spy search throughout the world showcase.  Quite awesome.  They explored most of the countries while making various things happen like Perry rapelling in France, rocks lighting up in China, and cuckoo clocks tolling in Germany.

Chris and Ben hit the countries to get stamps and signatures from each place including "Happy Birthday" and Ben written in some of the odder languages like Moroccan and Chinese.  They may have written "Hamster Monkey" for all we know, but that's fine.

Dinner at O'hana.  Awesome food, way slow service.  That place was operating on Hawaii time which is never a favorite speed in our house.  Back to the hotel and did most of our packing and loading.
