Disney World: Day 2

Friday, May 7th-  We stayed at the Pop Century Resort and this giant Mickey phone was really close to our room.   There was also a larger than life-size Foosball game you could walk through.  We stayed in the 70's part of the resort.  It was a value resort, but I was totally happy with the accommodations.  They had a fun room in the lobby with kid sized furniture and Disney cartoons on all the time, really neat collage boxes full of popular culture items from years past, and a huge food court and gift shop.    
We started our day in Animal Kingdom and many of the characters were out and about.  Tony & Sawyer love Lilo & Stitch, but Sawyer was too shy for photos.  By the time we made it to Turk,  we realized all he needed was to give the character a high-5 and knuckles and all was well. 
It was a really hot day!  We watched a bird show, went on a safari, and watched half of the Finding Nemo show.  (Sawyer loved the first two adventures, not the the Nemo show so much.)   We had afternoon reservations in Hollywood Studios at the Sci Fi Dine-In Theatre, so we jumped on the Disney transportation and headed over to that park. 
 
At Sci-Fi ,Sawyer loved the cars and we loved the drive-in movie setting.  We enjoyed delicious, thick milk shakes and our food was cool and refreshing.  It was nice to get in out of the heat for a fun dining experience.  Once we had stuffed ourselves, we headed off to see some of Sawyer's favorite characters.

Father's Day Weekend

We celebrated Father’s Day on Saturday this year, because I had to work all day on Sunday.  Tony wanted to go for a bike ride, but the doctor said I shouldn't be riding due to a possible lack of balance :( -- so Tony took Sawyer for a bike ride in the trailer.  I met Tony and Sawyer at Tautphus Park where there was a car show going on.  We enjoyed walking around and looking at the various classic cars.  I packed us a lunch and we found a shady spot on the grass to eat.  Sawyer wanted his shoes off while he ate his PB&J (as seen above).  I love picnic lunches!  I hope Tony enjoyed it too. 



I love this smiley boy!  He was getting ready to play with bubbles.He loves to chase them and pop them.  Tony was trying to teach him how to blow them.  He can blow 1 or 2 pretty well.
