Part 5: Disney's Animal Kingdom (Almost to the end of the trip...)

We spent October 3rd at Disney's Animal Kingdom which is like the absolute most fabulous zoo ever!


Me, Kjersti, Ben, and Charron with the Tree of Life in the background.

Mt. Everest

Kjersti got a good laugh out of this picture. This is Charron and me on Expedition Everest. What can I say, that yetti was SCARY!!



Yuck! Bats!

Here kitty, kitty, kitty!
Oh, I think I miss my kitties...

All set to get going on our Safari.

Rhino

Hippo

Crocodiles!!!

This tree only blooms a few times a year. Apparently we were there at the wrong time... I guess I just have to go back. :)

Pretty scenery

Some animals with really big horns...

It may look like a deer, but it's not.

Can you see the giraffes??

This is called an elephant

Pretty much the cutest animal we saw all day!

Flamingoes

The rhino from another angle



Out cute Safari guide

Kjersti thinks we should call him Gus!

Hola Mr. Hippo!

Meerkat

At first he looked familiar, but then I remembered my brother, Mason, was still in Utah.

Kjersti




This was our first time on Dinosaur. Charron was scared to pieces! She practically spent the entire ride on Kjersti's lap! And as you can see, Kjersti thought it was quite funny. :)

The second time through (I can't remember what made us decide to go through this again...) they made me sit on the outside. I now realize why Charron was so scared! And apparently Ben's ADD kicked in...

Third time's the charm. Yes we are crazy enough to go on this ride AGAIN! However, we were much braver this time and posed at just the right place. Smile pretty!

It's a miracle!!!! We survived!

But, the fear never really goes away. We just put on our brave faces for a little while.
Hooray for fun friends!!! I am so grateful that I was able to go on this vacation with such fun people!
