Each morning I stepped outside the
room to see what the morning temp feels like. It has been so pleasant at 7:30
in the morning. Today was a shorts kind of day. I only packed one pair of
shorts per person thinking we wouldn’t likely wear them. It turned out to be
another beautiful day up to 80. We arrived to Animal Kingdom early before the park opened and
waited inside. Once the main ropes were dropped there was a steady flow of
people to the Safari ride where we were heading. There were teams of
cheerleaders, bands, and soccer teams in town going to the parks in groups of 100. It was crazy. Everything
was so busy for this time of year, the slow season. The safari ride was super neat, all the
animals were out and in full view. They were munching on their morning feeding.
Elephants, hippos, rhino, giraffes, and many more. The giraffes came right up along
side our jeep. Mark split up to go on his ride Mt. Everest. The roller coaster
daring rides were just too much for Jayden and Jacob yet. The boys played in the
Dinosaur playland enjoying climbing and playing in rocky sand. We met for lunch and ate at Yak and Yetti’s
an Asian cuisine. We went to the Lion King show. Then we wnet to find characters. There was word that Pluto was in the park and that was the one and oly character he was excited to see and couldn't wait to find him. He was awful cute, gave him big hugs and got his picture taken. We also got to see Mickey Mouse in his jungle safari shirt similar to the one Luke had on. We found Balu and King Luey from the Jungle Book. These two wer quite funny. The tease and joke the kids. The monkey acted like he was picking bugs out of Jake's hair and would make toot sounds. Jake really got a chuckle out of them.
The big kids and Mark went to a Bug’s Life 3D show while Luke and I played in the boneyard some more. We cut our day at this park short so we could spend time at the resort pool. It was just too nice out not to swim. The resort has 3 pools. The main pool is the most fun complete with a little water slide. Jacob told me he would rather swim than ride anymore rides. Luke isn’t big on the water. He stands at the stairs and holds on to the rail and splashes around, never really gets all the way in. I got in and swam with Jayden and Jacob. It was so refreshing. Jake is in his own little world in the water. He likes to swim under water and never gets tired. The kids even did some dancing to music along with the lifeguards. After cleaning up we went to Downtown Dinsey for the evening. One of the cool things about our resort is we get to take a boat to downtown. It was very busy and crowded. It seemed the later it got the more people you saw and less clothing, as in they got skimpier for the night life. We decided to eat a simple meal at a quick service fish and chips place. This was the least expensive meal we had all week and all ordered water, except Dad’s tea he HAS to have, and we still spent $50. We looked in some of the shops but everything was so crowded. Mark and the boys checked out lego land. Luke is always attached to my hip holds my hand, sits against me when we eat, and " I" have to push the stroller. It was another late night to bed.
