The Great Make Up Trip Of 2008~7/22- SEE YOU REAL SOON! (pg. 86) ~COMPLETED~

[Blueyed Girl]

Here are more pictures from the flower and garden exhibits at Epcot....

Gardening tool Scarecrows...

Milk jug bird feeders...

Salvia..

Blowing this one up because they are so tiny. Fairy Gardens....

(so cute!!!)

A flower bed....

Next we move along and pass by a few other countries (Italy, Germany, etc) but I don't have any pics. We stop and browse in what I'm assuming may end up becoming Africa but for now it just says "outpost".

Next we cross the bridge and are now in China. FJ decides to give us a quick tour around China. The detail here is also amazing.

Up next, we skip Norway & Mexico....who by the way had NOTHING going on for Cinco de Mayo!! We decide to head back toward FW, grab a Mickey bar, then check out the butterfly garden and other flowe & garden exhibits.

I have an identical picture of FJ with the ninja!

Great minds think alike!...........or is that twisted minds..........

NO WAY!!!!

Either-Or, both are acceptable to me.

I'd say one of you is twisted aand one a Great mind

Just what are you trying to say???

 

[KatGarcia]

love the "flower bed" LOL

 

[Blueyed Girl]

I know, I thought that was funny too!

 

[Trentmom]

More great pics.

I loved the Flower bed


Did you go back and see Mexico later? That is my favorite country and DS loves Gran Fiesta Boat Ride. I love that they added Donald to it.


I think that red is a great color for FJ...............(japanese shirt, don't know name)

 

[KristinAnne]

Everything looks so pretty! I was going to say the same thing about the "flower bed!" Great pizza slice too!

 

[jcc0621]

Flower bed cracked me up

DS's daycare class made milk just bird feeders. Very cool

 

[pierresgirl]

Hi Cherie! You're taking awesome FJ pics How cool is the "flower bed" pic? DS must have had a blast going through all of the tunnels and stuff. I'm starting to dread how hot it will be when we go in Aug!

 

[Sooze]

Do they REALLY still make Monchichi's?!?! I remember the WHOLE song! Wanna hear it?

Monchichi, Monchichi.. oh so soft and cuddley
With her thumb in her mouth she's really sweet
Love to tickle her little feet
La..... la.. la
La..... la.. la
Happy, happy Monchichiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

That is SAD, I know!

Hey Jordan, just out of curiosity, what IS your nationality?!

Wonderful pictures, Blue. Didn't realize how very much they had on display for the FG Festival. Thanks for sharing!!

 

[DisneyJo]

I'm the same as everyone else the Flower Bed is so funny, very clever too

Thanks.
I loved the flower bed too. Funny!
We did go back to Norway and Mexico on a different day. One of DS's favorites is the boat ride in Mexico.
LOL, yes FJ looked sharp in the red. (Chinese shirt....not sure if there's another name)

It was all very pretty and a whole lot of fun!

It is funny isn't it??
I think we made some of those when I was in elementary school. FUN!

FJ was a blast to hang with.
The little play area's were so cool. DS had a great time!
Just don't be affraid to go get wet every once in a while. I think that was my mistake. We should have taken some pool time or gone to a water park.

Do they REALLY still make Monchichi's?!?! I remember the WHOLE song! Wanna hear it?

Monchichi, Monchichi.. oh so soft and cuddley
With her thumb in her mouth she's really sweet

I love that you still know the song!! I had that tune stuck in my head but couldn't remember all the words. Too funny!
I'm not Jordan, but I can tell you that he is Japanese-American.

I'm the same as everyone else the Flower Bed is so funny, very clever too

It was too funny.
I was really liking the idea of the pizza garden! I may not do it in the shape of a slice, but it would be interesting to grow everything myself. Ok, I should say TRY to grow everything myself. I was definitely not born with a "green thumb".

Woohoo!! I'm great minded

I think the Butterfly thing was for the flower & garden festival only.

 

[Minnie_Lover08]

i have been a lurker on your trip report for awhile and i must say that it is execellent. I loved the fairy gardens.

 

[englishrose47]

Woohoo!! I'm great minded

I figured that ! I don't remember it in 2007 and I know DGD would have been into that big time She loves birds and butterflies !!

Thanks! Glad you came out of lurkdom.

Well, you know what that means don't you?? You have to plan ANOTHER trip!!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

After leaving World Showcase, we stopped at a bench to eat a Mickey Bar. That's when this little guy came around and started doing tricks for us.

We head over toward the butterfly garden. Here are pictures from our walk over....

Anyone who read my last TR and/or my PTR for this trip, can understand the irony between me and the sponsor here.....

Minnie Topiary...

Butterfly topiary...

The butterfly exhibit was pretty cool. You could check out the cocoon's of the up and coming butterflies and the butterflies that were almost out! There weren't as many flying around as I thought there would be but we were there the first week of May. I bet there were many more by the next week!

CONTINUED...

 

[Blueyed Girl]

After the exhibit, we take our time looking around at other topiaries, playgrounds, and exhibits.

Solar powered hot water heater....

DH brought DS to the restroom while I was looking at this. I was completely alone in this area. As I was reading, I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I went to take a closer look and found this little guy.....

(if you look at the picture before this one, you can see him watching me take that picture. look to the left. I didn't even see him until he moved after I took that picture.)

He let me get pretty close to him. I took a couple of pics while he munched some grass. Then I switched to video and got a little before I moved and made a noise and he took off into the bushes. oops!




We then head into Mouse Gears where I tried my best not to spend too much time because this is where we usually spend way too much money. Look at all those Jelly Belly's!!!!

When we walked back outside it was almost dark. We decided to head out. DS was tired and getting cranky. Here are some pics on our way out....

I love the twinkly pavement on the way out but can never get a decent picture of it.

Hidden Mickey?? A survey marker...

It's funny how fast they fall asleep after a day in WDW!!!

It's funny how fast they fall asleep after a day in WDW!!!

That's sweet....

 

[Trentmom]

Butterfly exhibit looks great. I think we must have missed that on our trip last year.

I love all the topiary, so pretty

That darn claritin



How funny that the bunny was watching you

What a cute little thing he was



Speaking of cute, that picture of DH and your son is so precious
