Animal Kingdom


I am so behind on our blog! I have about 10 posts to catch up on. First I have to finish our Disney trip. :)


On our last day we went to Animal Kingdom. We had a blast! The boys love dinosaurs, so they loved Dinoland, USA. Dave and I went on Expedition Everest which is a really neat roller coaster. Our favorite ride of the day was the Kali River Rapids. Dave and I both went twice and the boys got to go with us each time using baby swap tickets. It was so much fun to get soaked!


We were so sad to leave Disney World and we hope we can go again next year!


The Dino ride...we went on this over and over as there was no line at all!


So sweet. The best Dad in the world!





Sleepy boys at lunch time.


Everest

The boys love playing in the fountains!


Kali River Rapids! So much fun!


The Dinosaur ride was very scary. I went on it with David and he was a little scared. But he was brave and even had some fun.


Playing in Dinoland!!! We went there twice and had a blast.





























Digging for fossels





The Jungle parade!





More fountains after our favorite Nemo show!

Dinosaur! ROAR!


Our crazy, happy boy. He did so well the entire trip. What a trooper.

Hollywood & Vine & the Disney Junior Friends


While at Hollywood Studios, we had lunch with our friends from Disney Junior, Handy Manny,
Leo and June from the Little Einsteins, and Special Agent Oso. So much fun! The boys loved to dance with all the friends too. :)


























Hollywood Studios


We had a great day at Hollywood Studios. The new Star Tours had just opened up that day, so we were able to enjoy the HD 3-D ride. It now has 54 different versions so it was different each time we went. That was David's favorite ride of the entire stay at Disney. He went on it 5 times! Another highlight was the Disney Junior show with Jake and the Neverland Pirates!!! Our boys LOVE that show and it was a complete surprise to them. You should have seen their faces! My favorite ride was the Rockin' Roller Coaster (which David actually went on!). SO FUN!!! We stayed the entire day until the Fantasmic Show (which Liam fell asleep during) and even went on Star Tours one more time afterwards. We had a great day!




Jake!


Gold doubloons rained down from the ceiling! The boys were so thrilled!





Handy Manny!


Liam loved the shows too.





My favorite ride!!! Baby swap works so well...you just go right up to the front of the line. And you can take your kids on the rides both times! This worked well for many of the rides. David and Owen got to go again and again!


Toy Story Mania !!! A favorite of ours.











The pixar parade! All of our favorite characters in one parade!





Happy boy. :)


The "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground is a favorite of all three boys!


Owen loved going through the spider web...he must've gone through it 7 or 8 times!





















The boys all loved splashing in the water!


The stunt show! Our boys all loved this show and next year it will feature Lightning McQueen!!!










Star Tours!
















Light sabers! :)


Liam fell asleep! So sweet.
