Orlando Vacation-Day Six











Animal Kingdom Day! This was our last day and the only day it rained. It felt good to cool off a bit though! Wesley felt much better and we had a really good day at the park. The Tree of Life in the middle of the park is really cool. We first went to DinoLand USA, where we saw lots of Dinosaurs and Christopher and Wesley played on the dino land playground while I went on the scary dinosaur ride back in time. Then Wesley and I flew in the flying dinosaurs (didn't know triceratops could fly!) while Christopher went on it. We then moved onto "Asia" where we met up with the Yeti on an AWESOME roller coaster (I went 3 times!). That was fun. We wanted to do the rapids ride but Wesley was too small so we went to Africa instead and went on the African Safari they have there. That was really cool because they have live animals just wandering about, but they also have a scripted adventure with poachers and the rescue of a baby elephant (not real, but fun). We then went on another train ride to Rafiki's Planet watch That is when it started to rain so we went back to the main part of the park to wait it out. We were going to leave about 3 times but kept getting stopped. We ended up going to see the Bug's Life 3-D/4-D show (very cool except for the "bugs" leaving under your seats at the end!)  and when we went to the bathrooms we got stuck where we came out and got front row seats for the afternoon parade. That turned out to be really cool because a lot of the characters came right up to us and would shake hands with Wesley and say hi. After that we decided to go back to the hotel to pack up and get ready to leave the next day. It was a great day, a great week and great vacation. Even though Christopher and I have to get used to approaching different ways of going on vacation(I am NOT a vacation nazi! I just like to fit everything in and get my money's worth!). We can't wait to go back in a few years (or sooner) and do it all again. Maybe Wesley will be 6 inches taller and able to go on all the rides by then. :) 

So, I have a ton more pictures-it's hard to choose just a few to post on here!
