More Animal Kingdom

Yes, there are real animals at Animal Kingdom, I just haven't gotten around to putting up pictures yet. So here are a few






James insisted on calling the rhinocerous "uncle Lance". He was cracking himself up during the whole safari ride (imagine that).


Emily, checking the map to see what she wanted to do next (and still wearing her hair).


Playing the bongos in "Africa"

Emily and Mom in front of the "Tree of Life". If you can click on the picture to enlarge it, you might be able to see the animals carved into the tree (which is actually not a real tree, by the way).

Animal Kingdom



Can you tell the kids' favorite thing to do was to meet the characters?

More Breakfast with Mickey

Day 3 -- at Animal Kingdom

We started day 3 (Tuesday, St. Patrick's Day) at Chef Mickey's for breakfast. We were there at 7:20 a.m. (after Emily and I got back after midnight the night before). But this was probably the most fun part of the trip.



We met Mickey! (yes Emily is still wearing her hair from the night before)

And Minnie!!!

Day 2- at Magic Kingdom again




The next morning (Monday) I took Nathan with me while James and Emily went with the Chapmans. We caught a parade on Main Street, which he thought was pretty cool. After that, he didn't want to do anything else. We wondered around for awhile while he complained, then I finally parked the stroller and made him go on the Its a Small World ride. He cried and griped the whole time we waited in line (and the other moms were giving me dirty looks), but when we finally got on, he enjoyed it. He was singing the song on the way out. Later on, he had really had enough, so we all went back to the condo to swim for a little bit, then Emily and I went back to Magic Kingdom for her appointment at the Bibiddi Bobiddi Boutique. This is her before pic....




And this is her "after" pic....

Oh my goodness, is that Emily??!!!


Princess Keely and Princess Emily, all beautiful and ready to go! (Don't you just love the pink hair and sparkles? The picture just does not do them justice!)


A cute pic of Emily and Ryan
