Day 5 - Disney's Animal Kingdom

Wednesday we went to Animal Kingdom. We got front row seats at the Lion King Show, which was really cool, and all the kids were asked to join the show by walking around the stage shaking different maracas. That was awesome. Madison was able to meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Daisy; we walked up the exit skipping a 95 minute wait, and a lot of angry people. We went on a Safari tour and saw a lot of animals. All of the kids’ favorite ride was the Everest Expedition. It went from 60 miles an hour forward and 40 miles an hours backwards, had lost of big drops. This is where we got our first family photo, and J and I look like horrible parents. All the kids look terrified, and J and I are smiling. They all loved the ride; Zac liked this ride so much he went 2 times. After Animal Kingdom we went back to the village, ate dinner, and took the kids to play at the Candyland Playground. Madison fell out of one of the swings and hurt her arm. (We didn’t realize how bad until we got home). We calmed her down and took the kids for ice cream and then home to bed. Madison had a pretty rough night, she cried every time she tried to move. After Tylenol and holding her for a while, I got her to sleep the rest of the night.
