Spring Break with the Hendricks - Epcot

Our fun friends the Hendricks came to visit us from Las Vegas during spring break. We went to Disney World for 3 days, went to the beach, and of course Jen and I sneaked off to the outlets one day. It was so much fun to see them. We call them Uncle Scott and Aunt Jen so the kids think they have extra cousins too.
It was a beautiful day at EPCOT. We saw lost of things and learned a lot at this park. I still didn't make it all the way around the world showcase so we will be coming back soon. We learned how to manipulate the fast past system though by utilizing the rider switch passes.
The kids loved riding Soarin' the best.
Kendall and Scottie were best buddies. Actually all the kids got along really well. You couldn't miss us with our 8 blond kids. I think people probably thought we were related. In fact, we were leaving Magic Kingdom during the parade and Amy got disconnected from us. We were in a panic! I sent Jen to the baby care center to see if someone had turned her in and luckily someone had notified security of a lost child. Jen went to the store where Amy was and the clerk said, "That looks like your mom" and of course Amy ran to her crying. Where was I? Waiting with the rest of the kids - I know I feel a little guilty I wasn't the one to rescue her.
They have a cool character greeting area where you wait in one line and see 5 different characters. Don't the Hendricks look cute. You wold never know Jen is 17 weeks pregnant - lucky girl. She can wear regular pants and shirts - actually she bought herself a pair of maternity shorts at the outlets and thought they were very comfortable. This is her 4th child? How can you do this? Those are the benefits of being taller. Okay - now you can see why my pants split at this park last time. Those 20 pounds are coming off!!! Next time you see a picture of me on this blog, I will be thinner.

Of all the travels I've gone on with my dad, I never went to Florida. The theme parks sound like a lot of fun for kids. I'm glad you guys had fun.
