Epcot~ Day 6

Today we let the kids sleep in a bit. Everyday we have been up so early that we thought it would be nice just to get up when we were ready. After breakfast the kids wanted to go for a swim before heading to Epcot. So we went down to the pool for a bit to swim. Once we got to Epcot we headed to the Find Nemo ride. All of the kids are big fans of Nemo and were very excited. After we got off of the ride it led us right into the aquarium. It's the second largest Aquarium in the USA. I loved seeing the manatees. I remember going down to Florida as a little girl with my Grandma and Grandpa Doughty and seeing manatee's in the ocean. I loved that we could get so close. It was great because the glass was from floor to ceiling so all the kids could see without problem. As we started to head outside we realized that it was pouring down rain. So we stayed inside for a bit more and then went to see a show called Talk with Crush. It was a great show and the kids thought it was hilarious.
After spending a bit more time at Epcot Todd and I decided that the kids were having fun, but not a great time. Epcot doesn't have a ton of stuff for little kids to do. So we decided to head to Downtown Disney and have a birthday dinner for Jackson.

We went to a place called T-Rex for dinner. As we waited for dinner the kids were able to go into a room and dig for dinosaur bones. When the kids dinner came they were excited to see that we ordered them fun drinks that came in light up glasses. After dinner we were sitting there when all of the sudden some of the staff came around the corner with a special dessert and singing happy birthday to Jackson. He was a little embarrassed, but loved every minute of it.

We all enjoyed some yummy birthday dessert and celebrate our big guy.

After dinner we told the kids that we could go into a few of the stores to buy a few things. Not once on our trip so far have they asked if they could have something. Grandma and Papa also gave Jackson and Aubrin a few dollars to spend in Disney as well. Of course Jackson wanted to head straight to the Lego store. Jackson had his eye on a Toy Story spaceship that he liked the first time we went in the store. Aubrin found a very sparkly princess purse that she thought was just perfect. Jackson and Aubrin both also found Mickey and Minne dolls that they loved. As the night was coming to an end, we got all of our packages together and headed back to the hotel.
Even though it was late the kids really wanted to go back into the pool for a night swim. The pool was open until 11:00pm so we still had a bit of time to swim. It's vacation right? As long as the kids still had energy, I wasn't too worried about getting them in bed. We were so happy that we could celebrate Jackson's birthday in Disney. I hope it's a birthday that he will remember.
