Walt Disney World: Part 5

The last park we visited was Animal Kingdom.  It was a good one for the kids 'cause they loved seeing all the animals.  We went on Everest, a rollercoaster there, and Matthew really liked that one.

We got very wet on Kali River Rapids.  Anna didn't go on the ride, but she found a fountain to get wet in, so it all worked out.

We saw lots of animals...here are a few of them.

 A baby elephant!!  So cute!!

 

The Big Tree - the symbol of Animal Kingdom

Matthew wearing the bug glasses before going into the Bugs Life 4D show.  Matthew wasn't so happy on the way out.  :(  He doesn't like the 4D shows where you get sprayed and poked.  ;)  We saw the Lion King show, went on the safari ride, the Dinosaur ride and some other things.  We were tired and headed back to the hotel a little earlier.

There was an Oktoberfest party going on at the hotel that night.  Perfect timing!

There was soooo much food.  Good food.  I always pay more attention to the food.  I think this was our best meal all week.  :)  Roasted beets, German potato salad, cucumber salad, sausages, potato pancakes, spaetzle with garlic and tomatoes and cakes!!

 And great Oktoberfest music!

It rained buckets and buckets that afternoon, but luckily it was covered.

 The band played the Chicken Dance and invited everyone up to dance.  Anna and I went up and danced for a while and later Matthew joined us.  I've never realized how German that song sounds!  It was so much fun dancing with them.

Hooray for a little Oktoberfest party and hooray for our fun week of vacation in Florida!  It was BUSY (maybe I overscheduled?  Sorry!!) but it was still so fun and I was so glad my parents got to come with us.  When we got back to Colorado it had definitely cooled down a bit, so I'm glad we got one last amazing summer trip.  Love Disney!  Love Florida!!  So fun!
PS:  This is my 500th post on the family blog!!  I can't believe I've posted that much!  I definitely have less time to blog than I used to, so we'll see how it goes.
