Disney Days: Part 5 (Animal Kingdom)

We went to Animal Kindgom on our last day.

Nate and Kate signed up to be Wilderness Explorers. Kathryn took it way more seriously than Nate.

Kate stayed on top of her animal awareness.

Nate liked it at first until it got to be too much work. He preferred to just sit back in the stroller and look at animals with any accountability.

We petted some goats, pigs, cows, sheep. 

 It was a blast from the past when we used to go to Old MacDonald's Farm regularly in Rapid City.

The goats provided some entertainment.

Kathryn can't resist any kind of street show. We had to stop and watch pretty much anything that was going on.

Kathryn can't resist joining in in street performances too.

She was so proud of herself. These giant smiles just kept coming and coming the entire time we were there.

They didn't want to spend much time at Animal Kingdom. They agreed to go back to the hotel to take a nap so they could stay out late at Magic Kingdom.

Look who saw a picture being taken without him.

They were so ready for Magic Kingdom one last time.

I love this picture.

And this picture.

And these too.

We've been on a lot of vacations, but taking these kids to Disney World and watching their faces light up and get so excited over everything was by far the best vacation ever.

We rode Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain over and over again every night without a wait. We watched the fireworks from the roller coasters while everyone else was at the 9 p.m. parade. We have little troopers who stayed up for the 11 p.m. parade each night.

Their Splash Mountain picture. They're so little you can barely see them. Just the tops of their heads. Thank goodness for Kathryn's tall New Balance shoes or else she wouldn't have been tall enough!

One more Disney post to come!
