The Grand Finale

We finished our Florida visit strong with a fabulous day at Disney World's Animal Kingdom.  For all you west coasters out there, the time of poo-poo-ing Disney WORLD because it isn't the original is over.  This place is amazing!  The Animal Kingdom is like a zoo on steroids, a zoo gone Disney, an amazing way to see all the animals we get to see in books but never in person.  It was amazing!!!

Lance claims that his favorite part of the day was riding the "train" (tram) from the parking lot to the park entrance.  Okay!  My favorite part was the Jeep ride through the African savannah and I also loved the treks through Africa and India.  You really have to see it in person to understand how amazing this place is, but here are a few pics from our busy day.  Papa and Grandma Kathie braved the park with us and even watched the boys while Stef and I enjoyed a water ride together!

best part of the day!  tram ride!

well, okay I do look like I'm enjoying myself on the tram too...
underwater viewing area for a hippo- we could see him above and below water and watched him come up for air a few times!

Next time, watch out Disney World!!  We will be staying for at least three days and will hit several parks!!!  A special THANK you to Auntie Jane for letting us stay at her cozy, kid friendly home while we were in Orlando.  And a huge thank you to Papa and Grandma Kathie for being such energetic, willing, and easy going grandparents.  Our time in Orlando was made that much more special thanks to you two!
