Animal Kingdom Day 2

Day 2 we got up and headed to Animal Kingdom. We saw the Tree of Life, Kilimanjaro Safari, Tricera-Top Spin,   DINOSAUR, rode the train to Rafiki's Planet Watch, played midway games,  and saw the Lion King show and Nemo. DINOSAUR was too scary and fast and jerking and I'm just talking about me! I wish I would have snapped a pic of the ride picture that was taken. I was almost laying in Harrison's lap with my eyes and ears shut and he buried his head in me, Hudson had his ears plugged and his eyes shut and Joel was grinning with his eyes WIDE open. It was a great day because the park was not busy and there was plenty of shade. The boys even wanted to ride Mt.Everest but one was half an inch too short and crowd waiting made a huge deal out of them not letting one twin on... I just wanted to be nonchalant about it so not to point out taller/shorter. So we did not do that and from what I hear, it was a good thing they couldn't get on it, too scary! The park closes early to feed and care for all the wild animals so we went back to our room and rested then went to Downtown Disney for dinner and shopping.

Rise and shine, waiting on the bus to take us to Animal Kingdom.

These are the toys they picked out for this day, VERY typical, Hudson alarmed many people wearing that very realistic snake around his neck and for Harrison the more lights, movement and noise the better.

Harrison on the safari, they had some very cool animals and what is so amazing to an adult is how they have "decorated" or changed the environment so well down to the fake mud tracks in the road that it all seems like you in a different country.



The Affection Section, Harrison gave the goat some sugar. 

We got Rafiki's autograph and a picture, he was a funny character. I told the boys to turn around after he signed and Rafiki turned around and faced the back :)

"It's Tough to be a Bug" 3-D show, this was one of our top favorites of the trip! All the real effects of wind, rain, a spitting beetle, and crawling things.

We ate at the Tusker House with some awesome characters!

At Downtown Disney they have the best candy shops! They (and I) got a bag and filled it with our favorite candy and Joel almost fell out when we checked out... he could have just taken us to the gas station for a fraction of the cost but it was so fun and we didn't have to throw any unwanted candy colors out!

At the Lego store they have this life-size sea dragon made out of Lego's among many other things.

They got to be in a video with Phineas and Ferb! It was so funny, this is on a huge movie screen in a park.

Playing with Lego's outside the store, this was a fun night.
