WDW's Animal Kingdom

Jake ran ahead with the girls to ride EVEREST and we stopped to see Mickey and Minnie because there wasn't a wait at all.

The girls got Malachi excited about SIGNATURES from the characters.

We then headed over to our favorite part of the park, THE SAFARI!

Once again we didn't wait, the line moved in such a way that we just kept walking til we got on.

The kids get so excited and Solomon made sure he said, "HI!" to all the animals we passed.

Crocodiles!

These might as well be Texas long horns with head gear like that!

I love listening to the kids talk on video when we watch home movies. I wish I video taped more and I hope the movies I have made will be enough some day.

They loved the flamingos! Malachi saw them first and told the girls (the girls had been asking about them most of the ride).

Above our seats are charts listing the animals to watch for. Aimi Lark is such a good reader now that she was pointing out the animals and saying their names.

We then walked around and saw lots of cool smaller animals.

We searched for birds and Aimi Lark made sure and took notes describing all the things she saw that day.

We found a Gorilla the same age as Daddy so we got a photo to compare sizes.

We took the train to "affection section" and enjoyed the petting zoo.

Daddy took the three youngest on the "Pocahontas" ride while I went and rode EVEREST with Aimi Lark. We have called this the Pocahontas ride since we moved here and started going because Jake sings loudly "JUST AROUND THE RIVER BEND" as they ride it. This was Solomon's first time to ride, he was tall enough! (poor kid is short like Me and Mali Su)
