Spring break 2026 day 2, Monday, Epcot

Out of order pic in the United Kingdom section. 

Our first "big" day was going to Epcot. I still remember going to Epcot from years and years ago with my Ricks College roommate and her friend and how I loved it so much of the countries. This was the only day we did anything at Disney. Here we are heading in before the parking.

Famous picture of "the big ball" as my kids called it.

We did Guardians of the Galaxy ride very first since it always had the longest line. I didn't know anything about it except it was some type of roller coaster in the dark and everyone's favorite ride at Epcot. It was SO fun! Had we had more time we definitely would have gone on it a few more times. The music was especially awesome. 

Here we are getting ready to ride the boat ride in the Mexico area. It was awesome. 

Even the boys' were very impressed with the details of the ride. 

We ate in China. 

Spent just a little bit of time in Germany and saw some fun performers. 

In the Germany area. This brought back so many memories of my backpacking trip to Germany. 

This was a very cool little train area. 

In front of France!

And OF COURSE we had to get Gelato in Italy. 

It was just as good as I remembered. 

Japan.

Adeline really liked the khoi fish. 

We ran out of time for some of the countries. I kept telling my kids there is no way we will be able to do everything at each place in the time we have, but we will do as much as possible. We stayed until it closed and it was a very fun day. 
 

Spring break Day 1, visiting Orlando Temple

For spring break, we went with Grandma and Grandpa to Orlando. We got in SUPER early Sunday morning (like to our airbnb around 230 am) and so hung out at the airbnb and watched general conference. That evening we drove to the Orlando Temple. Bummer it was closed for renovation for a couple of years, but we still were able to walk around the outside for a little bit. 

Walking over to the temple. 

I LOVE LOVE this picture of the temple. 

Kids with the padres. 

It was a nice drive over there for a Sunday adventure. 
 

Adeline's aquarium field trip and Liam's track meet

Adeline got to go to the aquarium for a field trip. This was in a brand new area that just recently opened. I love this butterfly thing!

Crossing the bridge. 

Ryan was able to go to Liam's track meet. 

He set PR in all the events he ran, from the 100, 4x100, and the 200. 

I loved this action shot. 

And art from Adeline. 
 

Evelyn's last couple of VB weeks

I love this picture of her bumping the ball! She had some really great hits the last couple of weeks. 

Another really good hit. It's easier to capture videos of her serving than hitting, but I can't upload those very easily. 

Watching for the ball before the hit. 

A serving picture. 

It has been a fun 6 weeks Murray Rec! Evelyn said she is ready for a break though, so no more volleyball likely until fall at this point. But it was fun to see her progress and her team was fun this time.
