Disney World: Animal Kingdom

On the second day of our trip to Disney World,
 we went to Animal Kingdom.
We ended up staying only half a day, but it was a fun time anyway.



Our first stop was the safari where we saw lots of animals. 
Here are just some of the ones we saw.
Giraffes...

Elephants...


Rhino's...

Wildabeasts...

and the kids were so excited to see Watussi cattle,
 just like Pap-paw used to have!

We took a train to go to the petting zoo in another part of Animal Kingdom.  Then the rain came and we waited under this covered train stop.  The kids enjoyed playing on these metal elephant sculptures.


As it turned out, the petting zoo was closed due to the weather.
We ended up stopping in at a museum type place where we
were pleasantly surprised to meet this bug.

Right outside this museum, the kids were able to watch a tortoise move around and even got to touch it's shell.

The last thing we were able to do before leaving Animal Kingdom was watch the Bug's Life 3-D show.  That proved to be a little scary for Asher and Karis, but Malachi loved it.

The rain had passed by the time we got back to our hotel and we were able to spend the afternoon at the hotel pool.

The kiddy pool was shaped like a wrecked pirate ship and the kids had a blast in it!

There was a barrel at the top that filled with water and emptied
 out over the pool every few minutes.

Malachi and Karis loved coming down this slide and...

...running right back around to do it over and over again.

The slide on the other side was more up to Asher's speed.

He loved he bottom of the slide where
he had his own personal little pool.

Malachi and Karis got to go in the big pool with
daddy and go down two different big slides.


We ended the day by eating at the hotel restaurant and
we just had to throw some money in the fountain.

Sweet dreams with our new friends from Animal Kingdom!
