animal kingdom

Doug and Tricia took  the kids to Disney's Animal Kingdom.

First off, they rode the dinosaur (Dumbo) ride in Dinoland.
Since it was so hot, they were very happy when it started to rain.
Tricia and I had gone to Target the night before and bought ponchos, but of course, Doug didn’t want to turn around when she realized that  they had forgotten them. They got very wet.

They loved the Lion King show.
Izzy finally consented to a picture with Minnie, because she's her favorite. Evidently, the rest of the characters pretty much freaked her out.


They took a train ride out to Rafiki's Island which is the Disney Nature and conservation area.

The newest attraction is a Mt. Everest roller coaster.
Courtney and Carter decided to chicken out, but the speed demon Jonah wanted to give it a try. He was barely  the required 44 inches to ride. He loved it and earned himself a stuffed yeti for his bravery.

They had a fun day, but were tired by the end of it.
