Animal Kingdom

Our Disney trip is now in full action.  We have been so excited for this trip for a while.  I had 2 random days off in April, a Monday and a Tuesday.  It worked out perfectly with everyone's schedules.  Wendy has a time share that we were able to take advantage of.  We left after school on Friday afternoon, and drove up to Orlando.   The kids were excited to meet Annmother, Pops, and Aunt Wendy in Orlando.  Our first day began at Animal Kingdom.  We wanted to save Disney World for Monday.  The kids were so excited.  We were able to get to the park by 10.  
Pops and Mackenzie were trying to stay out of trouble.  
Our first ride ended up being a train.  Can you guess who wanted to do this one?  You got it...Hunter.  He LOVES trains.  We enjoyed getting to view the whole park prior to walking the whole park.  
Our second ride was the Safari.  It amazes me how this is laid out.  We were actually picked up by Safari trucks and taken through something that simulated a safari so much you could easily forget that we were in Animal Kingdom.  We saw a large variety of animals.  
We were all in awe of all of the amazing animals.  

I asked the kids which animals were their favorites and they both said, "all of them".  
The "Tree of Life" looked amazing.  After we left the park, we realized that we had missed that part of the ride.  This gives us more to look forward to next time.  
I was glad that she got a quick nap in.  Pops did a good job rocking her to sleep in her stroller.  
After a change of clothes, due to a water ride, Hunter discovered a play area.  Once Mackenzie woke up, she was right with him.  
We had a great day!!!
