We're Back.... this time to Animal Kingdom!

We made our first post-summer trip to Disney Thursday, with a visit to Animal Kingdom. Since the kids had off from school and Jacob and I didn't have to work, we figured it would be a good day to visit Animal Kingdom for the day. We did a very brief tour of the park since Mady and Emily still had tennis lessons that afternoon. Mady's friend Emily came and so did her dad.

Our first stop was to Rafiki's Planet Watch. We saw Jiminy Cricket so we stopped for a picture. We also went outside to brush/pet the sheep, but many of them were hiding under the covered area. KK was really into it and loved brushing them.


Riding the train back is a good time for a snack break!


After Rafiki's Planet Watch, we rode the Safari ride and walked the trail to see the hippos and gorillas. Then it was time for lunch at Pizzafari before the Festival of the Lion King Show.


Before the show we walked around and saw some characters. Here they are with Thumper and some other rabbit from Disney.

KK fell asleep during the show. She was exhausted and even with the loud music and dancing she still slept. We left after the show and headed home. Our next visit will be to the Magic Kingdom on Oct. 17 when the girls are out of school again!
