Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2010: Part 1

Farewell.

We will definitely miss you!!!

This beautiful time ended on Sunday, but will be back next year with new incredible ideas.

How lucky are we to have had my parents, sister, and two very best friends with their baby all come during this beautiful time of year for Epcot!? Very.

I absolutely LOVED their logo and overall design for the Festival this year: 

(Sounds like "Into the Woods"... "We're going to go to the Festival. The Festival? The Festival!")

The layered-transparent letters with organic shapes and garden-like coloration made for one TERRIFIC logo design.

This is the Festival's program filled with all of the dates and events being held throughout spring, including musical concerts, maps, free gardening seminars and classes, and much more! For the complete front and back program click here (there are 2 pages so scroll around till you find both sides).

I am working on some very fun shots of what was in store for us this year at the Festival so consider this post a little teaser... because there's more!

lil' b and her monkey.

This is Disney World's Epcot Park during the Flower Festival, but more to come about that later... let's talk about the monkey.

Yes we use a monkey leash for our child... no I never thought I would ever use such a thing; but it has become a special little part of our frequent Disney World walks.  

How else would one keep track of their curious monkey-like toddler with 52,000 other aimlessly walking people around you?  

I'd like to hear from the people who've done it!  

Besides...she LOVES her "oo-oo" (think monkey sounds).  From the moment I brought it home and out of the bag she's love love LOVED it!  She actually wants to wear it - I think it makes her feel safe.  

So cute: when we ask her to "give us five" she "gives him five" and hits his little monkey hand on the straps - priceless (well $9 at Walmart - but so adorable, affordable, and safe).


Thank you to my local friend Orn who recommended it!
Its the BEST!
