Disney Trip - Day Two...

On Monday, March 8th we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom. We had a beautiful day and the park was not too crowded. The girls enjoyed the DinoLand and spent quite a while there. DinoLand had a fun TriceraTop Spin ride that we rode several times. There was also a huge playland and you could dig for dinosaur bones. This was one of the girls' highlights and they spent almost an hour in the Dino Playland. Some of the other highlights of the day were the amazing Nemo Musical, Kilimanjaro Safari ride where we saw baby giraffes, elephants, alligators, and many other animals, we also enjoyed Rafiki's Planet Watch where you could walk among animals like goats and sheep and even groom them. The girls thoroughly enjoyed grooming the sheep and watching the playful goats. We finished our day seeing some of the Disney Characters and seeing the Lion King Show. Reece fell asleep during the show so I don't think she was very impressed. The Animal Kingdom closed at 5 pm so we were able to eat dinner at the cabin and get to bed very early. The Tree of Life

This was a large dinosaur that you walk under to get into DinoLand. Can you find us in the photo.



This was the huge play area in DinoLand.


Digging for bones

We have obviously had too much snow this year b/c Reece decided to make a "snow" angel in the sand. She had sand everywhere.

Riley was very excited to see Goofy and Pluto and to get their autographs.

This was a mother Gorilla nursing her baby. The baby was so cute.

Alligators that we saw on our safari ride.

This was the baby giraffe we saw. Reece was so excited she yelled out, "Daddy get a picture!"


This is outside the Rafiki Planet Watch at Animal Kingdom.

Grooming the sheep. The girls really enjoyed this.

These goats were putting on quite a show - they kept head butting each other and would back up and get a running start. They were so funny.

Posing with Jiminy Cricket. Reece is not in this photo because she was scared of him.

Posing with Rafiki - Reece was not fond of him either but she let me hold her in this photo.

Reece playing the drums in Africa.

Posing with Minnie - Reece was very excited to see Minnie and went right up to her. The first character she cared about today.

Riley was very excited about seeing Goofy twice in one day.
