After Dan scarfed down his noodle bowl in China we headed to Mexico so the rest of us could have some lunch. TENGO HAMBRE!! And Mexican food is one of my favorites.
We had not tried the CS place in Mexico before and were excited to see what it had to offer.
Upon arriving in Mexico, Jeff and the boys got seats while I ordered our food. We all got the combo platter with a churro for dessert. We sat right next to the wall that separated the gift shop from the restaurant. I do remember the food being tasty, I remember a family of baby ducklings, but what I remember most is the family at the table next to us. The poor mom brought back everyones food and as she went to set the tray on the table she spilled one of the drinks all over the little girl. Mom did not handle that well and angrily went off to get a replacement drink...which the little girl promptly spilled on herself as soon as she got it. Ok....not funny, I know. Especially because mom was really fuming. The dad told the kids while mom was away getting the 3rd drink, to be prepared to leave the park. Awww...over spilled soda? What a shame.
Anyway...they eventually pulled it together, but thats about all I remember of our meal!
OH....remember Dan had already eaten, so he saw this guy and headed over to get a pic or two.
(At 14 I LOVE that he still wanted to do this even without his younger brothers!)
I am so grateful for Photopass! I was sitting and eating so I didnt even see this interaction.
After finishing our meal, we moved on to our delicious desserts....CHURROS!! MMM....pure sugary goodness!
Isaiah was a huge fan and requested these as snacks throughout the rest of the trip!
With our tummies full, it was time to start our 2nd KP mission. I didnt take a lot of pictures because the inside of the Mexico pavilion is dark and the pics dont tend to turn out well. But we did take time to look at the beautiful carved animals, check out the cool Day of the Dead stuff ( I have boys, they love skeletons!), and ride the boat with Donald and his friends. We also went into the glass shop and Jonah was completely fascinated with the artisan who was working on a blown glass creation. I couldnt tear that boy away! (Funny because we live about 90 minutes from Corning and the Museum of Glass and I have never taken the boys there....its now on the list of things to do!)
While Jonahs attention was otherwise occupied, I browsed the store and found this little beauty!
I always knew I was a princess! Anyway, as much as this princess wanted to take the tiara home, it was $250 and out of the royal budget. Sad.
Once again we managed to defeat the villain vowing to destroy Mexico and we headed back out into the bright sunshine to head to Norway.
We had never gone in this little building, so I was so excited that we were taking the time to do the little things!
We looked at the cool Viking exhibit and enjoyed the air conditioning of this place! And I found this cool Hidden Mickey on the robe of the Viking King!
We decided to wait to ride Maelstrom later because we knew we would be back and we had plans to go back to POR for some swimming and rest. The stand-by line was 30 minutes so we just grabbed a set of FPs for later and continued to explore Norway and its cool shop!
Jonah was the only one doing the mask, so he got his charm and stamp and we were off to the Kringla Bakery! I had been looking forward to this since the planning stage of the trip! Funny though, I was not hungry and so I didnt even eat anything! But, Jeff tried the famous school bread, Isaiah got a plain sweet pretzel, and Dan got a chocolate pretzel.
I told Jeff I had to have a picture for my TR because school bread is a DIS favorite.
He was happy to cooperate!
We really enjoyed the shady patio of the bakery and everyone loved the pastries they ordered. Jeff gave school bread a thumbs-up...I tasted it too, because I just HAD to try it....and I agreed.
It was now about 3:00 and Epcot was having EMH this evening. Our we dont have a touring plan plan was to head back to the resort to swim and rest during the afternoon and then go back to Epcot to finish our WS exploration around dinner time. We decided we would head toward Future World, use our Soarin FPs from earlier and then hit the buses. On the way, Jonah had been holding out for one of these all week!
Up Next...Were Soarin.....or not so much?
You guys are awesome!
At least, girl Viking.
