Hatapolluza all done, we moved into another shop to browse a bit more and pay for our goodies. Ariana selected a deluxe Minnie Mouse figurine set that gave her various princess outfits and Alex chose a red fleece WDW jacket that he's worn everyday since being home. I don't recall if Demetri got anything from this particular shopping trip but I'm sure he had
something.
While George was busy at the cash register, I wandered a bit in the store. I LOVED the mosaics and also snapped a pic Ariana could use as her desktop picture on the computer.....
A quick goodbye to this big guy.....
.... and we moved on. Do you like this picture? It's another of my favorites.
It was close to our ADR time and we headed on over. This was a dinner we'd been really, really looking forward to.
I made a mental note to come back to this place....
.... and then we'd arrived!
There was no wait whatsoever (we were on time - imagine that!) and we were led to our table. We loved our spot in the corner by two windows and we had great views.
Now this is where we all got a teensy bit silly. We'd had such a fabulous, relaxing day that nobody was tired, nobody was cranky, nobody just wanted to head back to the resort for the night..... you get it. We were just a family that was having a great time, about to have a fabulous dinner and we were in a silly, good mood.
In our defense, Alex started it all.....
We were enjoying our drinks, we'd placed our orders..... and someone started the hand jive. Yes, the hand jive. I can't even remember how or why we started it, but we did. We were teaching Demetri the basic hand jive moves and he caught on very quickly.
Pat your legs twice,
Clap your hands twice.
Slide your flat hands over one another twice,
Tap your fists over one another twice.
Toss your thumbs over your shoulders twice each one.
Keep doing it over and over, faster each time you do it. We were laughing at doing it right, we were laughing at getting it wrong. People around us were laughing at us and a few kids from neighboring tables were asking their parents if they could do it too.
Then we went around the table and each person had to add on a move after we got the basics done. We'd practice after each person added on the move and were busting a gut looking at one another to make sure we got it right! Ariana was able to keep up just fine and she was laughing right along with us.
Our awesome server and the help he had were all laughing and shaking their heads as they came over with our dinner plates.... signalling the time to chow down.
Not sure why mine was the only dish I took a picture of, but everyone loved their dinners.
We had a wonderful leisurely eaten meal topped off with fantastic desserts.
A few pictures of the place as we were leaving.....
We headed across the walkway to Riderz.
The boys had a blast in here! Ariana and I just kinda milled around a bit and let them have their fun.
Demetri got a turn at the remote controlled car they had out....
