April at Epcot

We used the second day of our "Play 4 Days" Disney passes at Epcot, where the annual Flower and Garden Festival was in the works. Mom loves all of the topiaries and such, so how fitting that we went on her birthday (April 24th). We had a great time riding all of the coasters and just hanging out with the family. Little Tyler was just a tad too small for the big rides, even though we tried to pad his shoes with MANY napkins in an effort to get him on Test Track. Unfortunately, it didn't work! But why are we trying to make up grow up so quickly?
Who knows what Grandan and Aaron were talking about? Chances are it had to do with someone of the female persuasion!
The flowers were gorgeous, and the kids LOVED the little creatures they found in Tinkerbell's garden... Late in the afternoon, we began our tour around "the world" (showcase, that is) and made a stop in Germany for dinner at the Biergarten Restaurant. Look who we met out in the garden...
The kids loved Snow White, but the parents were more excited about the beverages in the biergarten. And we ALL loved the band and the great music they played during dinner.
See how Abby and Aaron are doing the "Chicken dance?" Well, I got caught up in the music and "teaching" Tyler what to do on the dance floor. Turns out, halfway through, I realized I was doing the "Hand Jive!" Oops ... that's what a liter of beer will do to 'ya!
Dennis is not big into dancing, so he hung with the birthday girl (and my dad, whose birthday is just a week before Mom's ... we celebrated both that night) while Aaron and I, and Abby and Tyler rolled out some moves on the dance floor.
Eins - Zwei - Drei! Cheers to Grammy and Grandan ...
We had fun with our server, Jana (pronounced Yawn-a) ... so the guys insisted on taking a picture with her.
