disney day two. animal kingdom. part two.

after breakfast, we started to walk around and saw a line.. we looked at what it was for and what did we see but KEVIN and DOUG! we were all so so so excited! momma maybe the most. we quoted out our favorite parts. we told you to tell them about our halloween costumes. when it was your time to go, you walked right up not afraid and handed out your autograph book for russell to sign. you walked up to doug and said "i love you" which was a quote from the movie.  and we all got in for some pictures. we were so happy that we got to meet them!!!

you were finally tall enough for a big boy ride... kali river rapids. we saw all the people get into our raft with ponchos and thought this couldn't be good. mommy doesn't like the wet rides much but did it for you. as i always will. you were busting out laughing saying mommy was going to get wet like a dog. then you were pretending to be scared as we were going up. you kept saying, "oh no, what's gunna happen?" it was the cutest. we then got really wet and then those dang elephants spit right on me and you. we were drenched. but would do it all over again.... which we did that very thing later that day ;-)

we stopped and got you your wilderness explorer guidebook where you earned your first badge. 

momma and daddy wanted to ride everest. you did too but didn't quite understand why you couldn't. we each snuck away while one was watching you and distracted you with frozen yogurt. the ride was so much fun! maybe next time we go back you will be 44 inches and can ride (38 inches now). 

we then went to the zoo to walk around and it was so neat! we stumbled upon a bugs life and went in to watch that. we heard it was kinda scary but you weren't scared at all. you loved every minute of it from getting spit on to drenched from one of those bugs.

little bugger. 

we saw the line for mickey and minnie and had to do that. it was worth the wait. you walked up so well... so slow and holding minnie in one hand and mickey in the other. it made us both tear up. such a priceless moment. so special.

then to the safari!!! this was so much fun! it will be for sure the closest thing to africa. we saw lots of giraffes, hippos, elephants, a lion, and some ostriches. it was such a fun little adventure! 

your behavior was so good that day that we went on the rapids again. this time we got ponchos but naturally didn't get as wet. 

we then got a coke slurpee and watched it over the river. 

it was such a magical day! 

disney day two. animal kingdom. part one.

first character meeting. you were the happiest and so proud of yourself that you weren't scared.

donald was outside at the entrance waiting for us all to come up. he was the first character you got to meet!! you did so great! you were so happy to see donald. you think he is so silly. 

we then went in to sit down. we got your autograph book out and ready fast (pressure to be fast for mom and dad!) daisy was right around the corner. we handed you her card and a marker and waited. 

daisy was great! she came up and put your mickey ears on. you thought that was hilarious. then she was offended we only had a donald card for her to sign. sorry daisy! 

you loved getting their autographs. you kept saying, "who is coming up next?" you didn't want it to end.

you then met mickey!!!! this look sums it up. you were thrilled!! 

then goofy came up and we app took a picture. then music came on and it was time to dance! your favorite! you marched all around with goofy and he even held your hand for a while! 

we had a blast at tusker house!
