The day is quickly ending for our final full day here at the resort. Like all the other days we returned to the condo to find a new gift for the kids. Today's gift was a custom Candyland board. This edition was specially made for Give Kids the World. Out of fear of this board getting damaged I'll probably keep it under wrap for a while.
This morning we started the day with horseback riding at the resort. There is a small corral by our condo and they had the horses here today. The kids loved it and they completed the experience with cowboy hats for Evan and Nolan. The kids were saying howdy for the next hour or so. After that we grabbed a quick bite to eat and made our way over to Disney Epcot.
If you haven't been to Epcot the attractions are more geared towards education and cultural awareness than thrill seeking or nostalgia. We rode as many rides as we could find. Evan's favorite ride was the Frozen log ride because he got a little wet and mine was probably the spaceship earth. Siemens, who is a major sponsor for Epcot, has a lounge for Wish kids so we got the elevator code and went up to relax and take in the sights.

As we toured the park we tried to get pictures with as many Disney characters as possible. Evan was hit and miss on these. Luckily as we were nearing the end of our trip we ran across Snow White and Baymax at different locations and Joy and Sadness were convenient so we got photos with them. That's not to say Evan and Nolan aren't fans of Inside Out, only that Evan was pretty committed to getting back to the resort for fishing and swimming before the rain moved in.

Like it says above, when we got back we changed into our swimming attire and headed over to the gazebo pier to fish. Let's just say I'm not much of an angler, but we were fortunate to run into some teenagers from Texas who had been fishing most of the day. They were happy to let the boys move in on their turf and helped them each catch a fish. If we had relied on my ability to catch a fish we might have been there a while. With that out of the way both kids basically made a beeline for the pool area.

What does tomorrow hold for us? We're not sure yet. Sea World is tentatively scheduled; however, rain is in the forecast and the kids are running on fumes. I talked to Evan a moment ago and he indicated he's ready to get back home. We'll see. I'd hate to waste these tickets that were gifted to us and Cristy would like to see a show or two there.

Enjoy these pics from today below. I'll likely dedicate one blog entry to the pictures from the resort. I don't know what to expect, but I'm assuming there will be some really good ones. My feet need a vacation from this vacation.

| Nolan was a chatter box and had the staff laughing the whole time. |
 |
| Yee-haw! |
 |
| The landscaping and scenery at Epcot was very nice. |

| We think the photographer stuck her tongue out so Nolan copied her. |
