On our way back over to meet Kevin and Lori in Canada I stopped to take a few more F&GF pics..






Once in Canada we headed down to check in. I think we stood around and talked about what they had done today, but honestly I don't remember. I do think they went to DHS.

Going down to check in...


And this next picture I just think sums up the trip

Dole whip to anyone who can explain why.........

While we waited I think Kevin started getting all buttheady about eating here..... He actually asked "are their kids in there?" I told him Kevin, you're in a park, every where in a park is going to have children in it. Only some restaurants in some resorts do people ask that question....... And really, what the crap was he doing asking that now??? I had told him waaaaay back 6 months ago when I made this ADR that this was one our favorite places and we wanted them to experience it with us and it was good use of their DDP. He just had to be a butthead.

We were seated in the corner which was probably best. Since Audrey gets her way 100% of the time Lori ordered the $10+ shrimp appetizer for Audrey as opposed to the nice complimentary child's plate our wonderful server offered her. I would be
d%&^%^ if I paid that for my 3 year old to gnaw on like one of those huge fat shrimp. She'd have definitely gotten the nice fruit/veg plate that was FREE!

Andy had his usual mushroom filet which he had no problems with as you can see....


And I had the cheddar cheese soup and the duck appetizer. DELICIOUS!!!

While we were eating Audrey was sitting between Kevin and Lori on the long bench side of the table (we had chairs).... and they just kind of try to sandwich her in and that's it. Now, maybe I'm a little over the top.... I know I have high expectations for my students at school, but I think that will carry over to my own children. I expect them to do what is right and I expect me to be the one to model that right behavior for them. When you have a child where nobody models good behavior for them..... they're never going to learn....
I say that because during the meal Audrey laid down on the bench (which is fine) and then put her little hot pink crocs up on the table.....then on mom's arm, then on the table. And the only discipline we saw was a threat that was never followed through with "Stop it Audrey or I'm taking you outside" and that was it. She'd do it again and Lori would say the same thing "Stop it or daddy will take you outside". And it just felt like Kevin was just being a butt b/c of all this.
And when they brought out that fabulous pretzel bread and epcot ball butter..... well Audrey reaches right in the cup and takes a WHOLE EPCOT BALL of butter and sticks it right in her mouth! I couldn't believe it! Andy actually had enough and reached over and took it from her before she could eat the whole thing. What does Lori say "ohhhh she just loooooves butter. When she goes to Grandma's and they make cakes she eats the butter" Again, I guess I'm overly anal....but that just doesn't sound like the most heathful option for your child........

And our server, he was fabulous. Very polite, said "very good" or "thank you so much sir/ma'am" A LOT. But he was sooo very friendly, as has every server we've ever had here....... and bless him...all Kevin and Lori could do was make fun of him. We finally had enough of dinner and were ready to go our own way again.

I don't know what Kevin and Lori were going to do..... we left them smoking. There was a chance they went to ride Nemo again...... I don't know....

We headed straight for SSE b/c we wanted to see the new updates and figured during Illuminations was the best bet. And it was....

If you haven't ridden it yet and still want to be surprised.....don't look at my pics... And I know some people hate what they've done....but I thought it was hilarious!





There we go, back to NC.



Coming up.... Our last day at the world....
