OPA!

Last Saturday night, we meet Auntie Kevie, Uncle Larry and Skyler's cousins, Nikki, Jodi & Jared, in Pointe Orlando. We all took up residence at Taverna Opa for an evening of authentic Greek Food. Yes, Skyler's taste buds does not reject any type of cuisine! After our little Princess relished in all the welcome kisses and hugs, we quickly found our way to our reserved table.

Skyler enjoyed all the variety of delicious food from every one's plates. Her favorite was the hummus and the beef tenderloin that was marinated with Greek herbs!

After we finished eating, we all got caught up in the frenzied scene, especially Skyler! It started with a flutter of napkins raining down on the entire restaurant, including our table. (see pics below) This really energized our Sweet Pea. The food took a back seat to the atmosphere as the DJ started spinning music.

A belly dancer-n-residence appeared and sashayed, swished & swirled around Skyler at regular intervals. Our sweetie was fascinated and even danced on the table during the show. A party of 16 was sitting next to us and said they had more fun watching Skyler than the in house entertainment. Their cameras were flashing and I was given a business card so I could make contact for pictures and a video that was shot of her. That's my girl......always drawing a crowd!

While some patrons were dancing on the tables, we partook in the dancing Zorba, a traditional line dance, were we wrapped arms around each other, circling the restaurant in a Greek Conga kick line. It was a blast weaving in and out of the dining rooms!

You can probably surmise that we all got caught up in the exuberance of the moment and left with huge smiles! We decided to walk around the shoppes and doing so, we stumbled on a water fountain....Skyler's favorite! She just adores water and there was no way of walking pass it without a visit. Daddy thinks she'll be a swimmer because of her long legs, long arms and a zest for the wet stuff!

More water fun was just around the corner.......Cousin Jared took Skyler into the shooting water fountain. Jared was such a good sport & walked away the "very wet" hero! Even Uncle Larry jumped in the action. We truly could have stayed there all night. Her giggles were contagious as she drew a crowd from the many shoppers.

A little girl had walked by with a balloon so we wrapped things up, including a drenched Skyler, and strolled on over to the Life Is Good store and got Skyler her very own balloon.

After playing in the grass, we all drove over to Downtown Disney for dessert. By 10PM, Skyler was starting to fade and it was time to head home. It was an unforgettable experience and we hope to jump back in the Zorba, dance alongside the belly dancer while confetti of napkins surround us! There will be a Part II of OPA! lol......
