Day 4 - Part 2
After a quick rest and lunch back at POP, we head over to Epcot. I have been waiting for this day. I had planned for us only to see the World Showcase this day, because last time I was there, I hardly got to see any of it. And Matthew has never been and I know he will enjoy it.
We start off in Mexico and were planning on riding the ride, but Gianna had other plans
We stop and get a drink and I try to take an artistic photo - but I am not too artistic
Next up was Norway.
We went into Kringla and I told everyone to leave it up to me. I ordered the School Bread and we all went to try it out.
oh.my.goodness. This is soooo good. And huge! We all shared it and couldnt even finish it! Gianna was still sleeping, so she didnt get a chance to try it out. We grab Fastpasses for Maelstrom and check out the gift shop.
My mom wants to buy some of the perfume they have there - Laila - she got it last time and loved it. We got to meet the designer - Geir Ness, again - he was there giving out hand massages and telling me about Fashion Week in Paris. He also asked if our homes were okay from Ike hitting us the week before. He is a nice guy and good salesman.
Gianna finally wakes up and is hungry. So we walk to China, my mom decides she will feed her and Matthew and I go ride Maelstrom. I try to tell him how scary it is, but he didnt buy it.
I love the China Pavilion. It is so serene and beautiful.
We caught the acrobat show. The girls are amazing!

Day 4 - Part 3
We didnt have time to look around at many more of the countries right then, because I was on a mission to see Miyuki- The Candy Lady! I have done so much research on her and am just fascinated by her and her work. She had a show starting soon, so everyone made their way over to Japan.
We did stop to take a quick picture in Germany though
No one was around for Miyuki's next show, so we got a spot right in front. The show was only about 15 minutes away. Before I knew it, people were showing up and trying to shove their way to the front. I had heard of mom's getting really mad that Miyuki didnt pick their kids to make candy for - or for people knocking other people out of the way for a spot in the front. We just kept out spot and waited to see her. I was not going to be upset if we didnt get picked. I just wanted to see her make the candy!
Before long, she comes out and starts setting up and explaining what she does. She said one candy per family and to please share. She picked the kids right next to us and they wanted a tiger. It was amazing to see her transform a blob of rice starch into a beautiful tiger.
I had asked Matthew up front what he wanted her to make if she asked us. He thinks it will be funny to ask her to make a Jackalope - which if you dont know what that is - it is not real and a mix between a jack rabbit and an antelope. I tell him he is not allowed to speak to her if she asks us what we want.
After the tiger, she looks right at us and asks what the baby would like. I say "Panda!" before Matthew has a chance to embarass me.
She then says that a panda is very hard to make and starts on it. She ended up making a mama panda carrying a baby panda for Gianna and I. I was soooo excited! She handed it to us and asked how old Gianna was. I would have stayed and watched the whole show, but I wanted to give others a chance to get up front and see this amazing woman.

Great trip report, but where's the rest?
Less work and more trip reports please.
We're leaving tomorrow and have a 3 1/2 year old
and 11 month old girls.
We're also in Houston.
I guess I'll have to read the rest of yours when we get home.

Day 4 - Part 4
After seeing Miyuki's show we decided to grab a bite to eat in the UK. I really wanted to see the British Invasion - being the GIANT Beatles fan that I am - but they had already started and there was no place to sit. I got to hear them though. I wanted to try the fish and chips. I thought they were really good and so did Gianna. Mimi also got some. Matthew decided to wait to try something else later.
Matthew wanted to go back and look through France and Morocco, so we headed by that way. I finally got to try the Grand Marnier slushie in France and it was wonderful! It tasted like oranges and cream. Yum!
Then all of a sudden Matthew decides he wants to start getting a pressed penny collection. I wish we would have started earlier, but better late than never, so we grab one in France.
We head over to Morocco - which was my favorite pavilion last time I was here. Matthew decides to grab some food here. Gianna wants out of her stroller and is wanting to hold onto our hands and walk around.
After that, Matthew wants to look around Japan and little more and I wanted to do a Pick A Peral for my upcoming birthday! There was hardly anyone there, so I was able to walk right up and pick my oyster. I try to pick the ugliest one. It had green hair growing from it. I ended up with a beautiful 7mm off white pearl with a hint of green and pink.
Now I couldnt see the green and pink, but that is what she told me, so I trust her eye better than mine. I just saw a pearl. We decide since we are coming back tomorrow, I will pick a setting then.
So we are back off to POP to get some sleep! Or at least I thought we would get some sleep......
