Chapter 12. Dinner with old friends.
This is the night we had our meal i was looking forward to the most of all our reservations. I loved ohana in the past, and was even more excited when I found out that they added pot stickers to the menu, and the noodles two of my favorite dishes of the orient. When we got back to the camper after swimming we relaxed a bit and got ready for our dinner.
i went to the store which was right behind our loop to get the glasses we had made up for my parents at Epcot the day before.
this was the best picture i had of them.
of course parker was hungry from a long morning afternoon i the water park and needed a fuel snack before we headed out.
we headed down to the marina to catch our boat over to the contemporary where we could transfer to the monorail.
for those of you who have never seen the docks at FW marina here is a better view of them.
can u tell that parker loves the boat rides.
shortly after we arrived at Contmemporary and then head up to the monorail and head over to the poly.
where we check in for dinner.
parker loved the waiting area as you can see he kept running back and forth checking out all the windows and things to see.
our wait to be seated was not long at all, we were just as you walk in the restraunt, just a stones through away from the cooking station.
our waiter was one of the best we had all trip, and was very attentive to us and parker as well. he went right for parker and asked him what he would like to eat and drink. he wanted chicken nuggets and macs, our waiter also said he would bring him some fries in case he wanted those.
one nice thing about the buffets is that little ones eat free...and parkers meal even though it wasnt any of the items on the ohana menu his was free as well, we had great servers every place for dinner who gave him free food and drinks except one place...but that is a story for another chapter a little later on down the line.
first out was our salad and the dipping sauce plate.
candi and nanas drinks.
and me and papa opted for the beers, hey glenn that bud light lime looks pretty good huh?
pretty soon after our plate of pot stickers and wings arrived for us to scarf down, the pot stickers were stacked up pretty good at least 20 on there, which i knew would not be a problem, i was going to eat all of them and have no fuss about trying.
he set down parkers meal which he told him was hawaiin chickens because they had an umbrella in them, parker just looked at him like huh?
we all dug into the wings and pot stickers, and before we knew it he was bringing out the veggies and noodles for us.
but we opted to keep the pot stickers and wings and not let him take them away...actually i told him to keep them on the table. My final tally on those potstickers was at least 10.
in case you have never seen a whole mess of chickens being cooked at once, here you go.
i wont post the meat pictures, because your plate starts to look a little messy after all that other food, and wanted to keep it appetizing for you guys, but they bring around the steak, chicken, pork, and had grilled peel shrimp as well...those were very very good...in case anyone was interested i kept count of the meal tally, it was 10 pot stickers, 4 wings, salad, 4 servings of noodles and brocoli, 6 shrimps, 5 steaks, 4 chickens, 3 cokes, after my 1 bud, and 1 pork, (for desert i had the pear tree.)
see i told you that was my favorite meal and the one i was looking to the most.
after we stuffed ourselves, it was time for the entertainment to begin, the lady doing the singing was the one we had when we ate there one our anniversary trip, and told her that candi was pregnant, and she gave her a flower lei and then gave her another one and said she would have twins.
we told her the story and of course she said she remembered us and said is this the little guy to parker..
she talked to us for a while at our table and said she looked forward to parker helping her with her games she was going to start.
she gave us the shaka sign and went about her other tables.
soon after she called for all the kids to come up and help with the coconut races...at this time she is onher mic that talks over the whole restraunt and calls for parker to come up to the front of hte line with her.
while the kids were coming up she kept talking to parker
im sure alot of people were wondering who this parker was. she kept refering to.
he had a ball doing the races.
after putting his coconut away she called that she was going to do another one, so he of course got called by her and told to come and do another race with her.
once the races were over, candi and nana, took parker to change him before we left...well our hawaiian lady friend came over to the table and said she had some lays for us...well me and dad were the only ones there, so she gave us each a bunch and then gave us both kisses on the check.
when she saw parker and the ladies come back in she tagged him with a lei of his own.
and then our server brought out the desert for us and a bowl of ice cream for parker, and a cupcake for me and candi...here are all three of them.
continued in the next chapter(next post), ran our of room for the pictures in this one.....
i was maybe about 10 at the time he ended up telling them they had to stop and go use the bathouse.
.. which doesn't take much!!!
