Wide World of Sports

It took us about 1 1/2 or 2 hours to get where we were to the Wide World of Sports.  We got everywhere on time even!


I was so nervous for Anthony's team so I didn't get pictures but I did get a picture of CSI Titans.  That is as good as it gets.

Kalihari River Rapids

Waiting in our short line

There they gooooooo

We did get wet, especially mom!  Waves just came right over her seat.  Boy is that a short ride though.  Grizzly River Run seems like it is sooo much longer!

African Safari


Rhinos!!!!

Alligators!

We were THIS close to the giraffe.  He stood right by our Jeep, I think dad could have kissed him had he wanted to.  I believe he chose not to.

The cutest baby elephant!!!!!

Ostrich, gnu and ostrich eggs

Pumba!  The warthog!  Our guide suggested that you never, EVER wake a warthog!

Cheetah
We needed a refreshing snack after that bumpy safari ride!!!

Animal Kingdom

 Off we go for the day
 Animal Kingdom here we come!
 The Tree of Life
 Africa!!!!
 Mt Everest (which we decided was best to avoid after last time, when none of us felt particularly well, especially dad, and we had to cheer watch till late, so we skipped it this time)
Mom and I laying around with the cute hats in Animal Kingdom

Shades of Green

We stayed at the Shades of Green hotel again.  Really nice.
With a view of the golf course.....


We planned ahead for dinner, or lack thereof, this time!  And brought crackers and tuna and chicken salads with us so we had something of substance to eat, since most things were closed by the time we got there.....

Happy Birthday Christi

 Happy birthday to Auntie Chris!  I made her fall off her no sugar wagon for the day with some Funfetti deliciousness from Pinterest!



Ouchie!

Jordan went to the pool with the Carlsen's and did a really good job bloodying his toe!  Tried to jump over something...and didn't quite make it.
