Day Seven - Part Two - France & more Food!
Good Morning Everyone!
The girls are crafting it up! (the are sadly kind of over the heat here in Jersey and prefer to be inside these days). So, hopefully I can get another post in this morning and maybe another this afternoon. Cross-your-fingers...
So, before we left England, I did apparently make the girl take a picture in the phone booth. Pretty sure, they have no idea what it is or used for.
As, you can see in Morgan's face in the picture...
NOW! We headed to France! Morgan wanted to get Crepe's. The last time we were here, she ate (2) chocolate crepes all by herself! So, that was our first stop.
Morgan decided to try the strawberry this time and Gwen got the chocolate one. They both enjoyed there snack/lunch. I think I may have picked up a french beer for DH and I to split. We found a table in the grassy area across the way and relaxed while the girls ate.
After that, I wanted to try one of the ice cream macaroons! So, we headed in to explore some of the France shops.
This was soon good. Just enough gelato and the macaroons were light and airy. I was a little disappointed that you had to choose from the remade combos. They have so many yummy flavors. But it was still delish! Next time I def want to try the brioche ice cream sandwich!
We wandered around the store a bit while I ate my treat. I wanted to have the girls try on hats from each country. So, this was the first ones..
Aren't they cute in there little berets. Gwen wanted to buy one, but if I remember correctly, they weren't cheap and I wasn't convinced she would actually wear it at home. So, we moved on.
They were just about to start the France movie, so we hoped in there to watch that. WOW! That movie is dated!!! We sat down and as soon as it started, I was already thinking to myself, maybe we can just leave. But I am pretty sure DH fell asleep and Gwen almost fell asleep as well. So, I guess it was a nice relaxing rest.
After our nap, we headed onto to other countries. We kind of walked through the counties as we made our way to Japan. The girls have discovered our sushi dishes that we registered for when we got married. So, I wanted to get them kid chopsticks. We, also had never really been in the store. I had heard how great it was and all. So, I wanted to check it out. OMG!!! This store is HUGE!!! It just kept going back and back and back!
My sister loves all things Japanese, and has gotten the girls into Sailor Moon. Which the front of the store was Hello Kitty (which my girls only half get, sadly) and Sailor Moon. So, they checked that stuff out first but didn't see anything they really wanted. So, we adventured back. Passed the Pick a Pearl area which was bigger than I thought it would be and the folks hanging around were rather loud! I just found it interesting that it was THAT exciting. The girls found these SUPER cute Japanese Stuff Animals....
We had no idea what they were, so, I took this pic and text'd my sister to see if she knew.
But we kept pressing on, in search of kid chopsticks... Went back EVEN more! Until finally at the very back we found these!!!
They are so cute! And Gwen's lovie is a Monkey and Morgan has a teddy. So perfect! The very back of the store has lots of great dishes and plates but I refrained from getting much.
I picked out two little white paper crane looking ceramics that are to hold your chopsticks. With our goods in hand, we checked out and headed on our way.
So, the "REASON" we came to EPCOT today, was to finish our Princess collection of meet n greets. We needed to find on this trip:
- Pocohantas - Check
- Tianna - Check
- Mulan - Not Check, not yet!
So, we headed over to China. The posted time was still 15 minutes out but we knew we wanted to meet her, so we wanted to get in line. There was already a short line formed, so we figured it wouldn't be too bad. Luckily they were starting a show, so we had some entertainment for a little while. It was a little crazy with the show starting. Everyone was trying to figure out where the line was verse just people standing around. But thankfully no incidents or anything.
And then Finally!!! IT was time to meet Mulan!!!!
I had the girls take off there sweatshirts for the picture, thankfully. Gwen was SOOOOO excited to meet Mulan. I think Morgan was just more excited to be meeting the "last" princess. But none the less they were SUPER excited.
I mean look at Gwen!
Once we finished and were walking away, Morgan said "We Completed the Princess Collection!!!"
. Win for everyone!
. This was the first time we were visiting at this time of year. It was very hit or miss. This particular day was by far the coldest. Spoiler alert for later, it was so cold, we decided just head back. BUT that was more because the girls weren't dressed properly for the temp. You do just need to be prepared for the temp swing. Most morning we just needed light jackets but shed them most days at some point in the day.
Maybe a project for next trip. Maybe I will do the whole family. I think it would make some cute pics! Also, you can see it finally warmed up enough to keep the jackets off for awhile.
