February 12th (Animal Kingdom/My 35th Birthday)

 To start our quick morning Nick went and got krispy kreme donuts. Then we were off to Animal Kingdom to get there early!!


 The trams you ride on at all Disney locations. We opted to walk in.

 We were there 15 minutes early but they still let us in early...sweet!
The big tree at Animal Kingdom really cool.
We came here with Addie when she was 2 and she loved it.

 1st ride since we didn't have a fast pass for it was the Safari Ride...it was fun when we went on it a long time ago. Here we go.



 A nice lady in front of us offered to take our picture!

 Lots of animals out this morning before it gets to hot.





 These hippos were too adorable all lined up together.

Baby hippo.
 Pretty waterfall!!
 Crocodiles!!











The trees I love in Florida.
This giraffe got so close to our car.






 Cheetah relaxing in the back.
 The lion just relaxing on the rock.
The safari ride was awesome...we saw lots and lots of animals.
Going on the trail to go see some more animals.






 The meerkats were sooo cute!!




Baby Gorilla...so sweet with its mama.
Daddy gorilla.

Gorilla behind them like when we went before with Addie.
Time to go  check out Pandora with the Avatar rides.
 The scenery they created here is amazing...so cool looking.




 Well we decided to wait in line for the riding in the boat Avatar ride since it was only 110 minutes...which turned into 3 hours...yes we waited!! I know crazy..we ate lunch in line and met some really nice Brazilian women behind us that we talked with. Adelyn wasn't the happiest but did ok.
They took our picture for us here.

 Going across bridge almost inside to wait.




I forgot her name but she was super nice...all the woman loved Ella from the Brazilian family. Very sweet people.


 We made it inside to wait...wow that is a lot of people. We almost gave up at 2 hours here but we kept waiting.



The boats we went in.
(5 minute ride!!!!!!)
 I took a video inside since it was really amazing with the graphics but not worth the wait for a 5 minute ride...ugh!! Well at least we wont wait that long for any other rides. Geez!
Pretty waterfall outside of the ride.
Playing the drums in Pandora land.

 Lets go find something fun to do...and we have a fast pass coming up.

 Dinosaurs everywhere.




Twinkies.
Time to hit up the fast pass for the Dinosaur Ride.
 This ride was so fun. Bumpy and a fast car like ride with Dinosaurs scaring you. Its like the Indian Jones ride at Disneyland. Adelyn loved it...Ella was ok.
Giant Turtle skeleton.

Ella was watching the little girls in front of us.
Going to look at more animals.
 The Kamona Dragon Lizard.



 Baby Tigers...oh my goodness how adorable are these!! We were dying over how cute they were.





 These baby tigers...Oh I want to play.
After our walk thru Nick went to get popcorn and they were dancing so Ella joined them.




 She was so adorable for words!!


Time to get on the train to Rafiki's Animal Sanctuary for endangered animals.




Then we saw Doc Mcstuffin without a line...Ella was excited to meet her. She wasn't scared.

 Doc was super nice!!

Gecko all stretched out.

 Then they have a petting zoo area with PIGS and goats.





 Addie telling the goat not to eat the fence...haha.
 Going back on the train.
Picked out one last souvenir...Avatar creatures for Addie.
Baby Chimp for Ella Bella.
Lets go check out its a Bugs Life in the tree!! 




 This movie/play is super fun very interactive.
Mountain Roller Coaster we went on with a Fast Pass!! 


 This ride was so crazy...we went backwards, in the dark, a Yeti after you and switching tracks. Super fun last ride time to leave and go get some food!!
One last photo with the tree before we go.
We decided on a place called BJ's for dinner...brewery place for my birthday. Looked like they had yummy desserts. ha.


Super yummy ice cream and two different kinds of cookie at the bottom.
Great dinner now time to get these kids to bed and have a couple beers with my hubby while we watch some family feud before bed!!
Tomorrow is time to go home!!
