Despite the disappointment of knowing we were going to Animal Kingdom instead of hanging out at the resort pools, we ended up having a good day. Amy and I made the mistake of making the plan after about 36 hours on one hour of sleep so we misread the closing time. We were planning on 8 so we didn't rush out in the morning and were bummed when we saw everyone heading for the gates at 5.
As you can see from the squinters, we needed to find sunglasses on this trip or else the pictures were all going to be like this.
The Tree of Life is just an awesome wonder. Tons of animals carved into it all around the trunk.
The whole gang, they really did get along pretty darn well. The only tough times were between the 2 eight year olds in the van vying for placement rights.
I just love experiencing things by watching my kids. The amazement and wonder on Jacob's face especially always makes my heart grow two sizes.
This one I admired from the bottom. Well, someone had to sit with Brady. :)
Follow the arrow to see our crew. I had to take a few trial pictures because I had no idea which cart they'd be on.
And aren't we a cute couple? That's not a rhetorical question so feel free to say "Yes".
On the safari with his new 'friend' he won at a basketball game.
A sampling of the animals. It was actually a bit hard to get good pix because as you know they are on a schedule and have to keeps those rides moving. I would have loved to go on the safari again but we had to leave sooner than anticipated.
I'm so bummed that this picture really does no justice to just how drenched we got on this ride. Amy and I were the lucky recipients of a thousand gallons of water over our backs while the kids remained practically dry. So not fair!
That is why of course they wanted to go on it again...we were all set with that and sent them on their way.
We were so lucky with nice weather that it was a treat to enjoy the first ice cream of the season. Jacob had been waiting for his Mickey ice cream since I used it in the clues.
And just to prove we were there, and still have it going on....!!!!
Thanks for visiting ♥ Michelle
