Ok y'all. Sorry I have been so bad with posting pictures. All I have to say is all I want to do when we get back into our room at night is SLEEP & SHOWER! I am not kidding. We also had a night where we all pretty much were up ALL night. Alex we think either got food poisoning or he had the leftovers of Rob's bug on Monday night. So needless to say Tuesday's events were a bust. Thank goodness we had an extra day built into our dtay. I'll pick up where I left off.....
Monday we went to Animal Kingdom. This place was HUGE and we should have brought the stroller, but Alex had done so well at Magic Kingdom the day before.
Here we are in front of the Tree of Life. This is a HUGE man made tree and the brown tree part has carvings of different animals and stuff. Really beautiful.
Here are the two little safari people.
I won't bore you with a bunch of pictures of our safari but it was my favorite ride of the whole day. We really did feel like we were on an African safari. Here are just a couple really close up pictures.
This rhino (sp?) walked right in front of our jeep. I was on the edge of the jeep seats and I kept looking in the tall grasses as we went along just waiting for something to charge the jeep or a lion to attack me. seriously!
And there he was! There were NO fences and the "girls" were no where to be seen!!!! The driver said this was one of the best picture oppotunities he'd seen.
Got to meet a bunch of characters too! The kid's autograph book has a BUNCH of character autographs. Here is "Dug" the Dog and "Russell" from the movie "UP." Alex didn't want to get his picture take with a dog and a "fat boyscout!" Honest, that's what he said! I about died!!!!
Later that night we went to the African restauraunt. It was really quite good and I even broke out of my food "rut" and tried some new stuff. I had Goat with curry meat sauce and cous cous with dried fruit. It was all really great going down but don't ask us about it about 4-6 hrs later....
This was also the night that Alex either ate too many African desserts (choc chip cookies) and got foot poison or the remnants of Rob's bug. Oh well, it was a rough night but we got through it PTL!
