more from disney

now that a have a little minute to wind down (when i should be working on my HUGE paper for school) i decided to give this blog a little attention.  i have been neglecting it for quite sometime, which saddens me because so much has been going on.  i make sure to make notes to my self of things that i want to write about because there is so much that i don't want to forget :)  

anywho...back to disney world...day 2

on the second day while were in Orlando we enjoyed sitting poolside and getting some sun, of course this was after gair and i together spent about $300 at the SUPER TARGET near our hotel.  i have never been to a super target before, and thankfully we don't have one here because i'm positive a lot of money would be spent there if we did!  it was really great!  more clothes and better clothes than our target at home has!

saturday morning (the little one's 2nd birthday) we all woke up and got ready to head to magic kingdom again!  we started off by enjoying another "Dream Come True Parade."

gair being silly :)

 riding the tea cups with the birthday girl!

 

 after the tea sups we headed over to the Tomorrowland Speedway!  birthday girl got to drive her own race car :)

(too cute not to post)

 can't even see little one's head over the steering wheel!  but she was loving it :)

 racing beside tay and curt!

 after we left the speedway we got something to eat and tay, curt, and i headed over to Animal Kingdom for the rest of the afternoon while we were waiting on everyone else to get there we were able to hit up Expedition Everest!

curt mountain climbing in Animal Kingdom!

cute little monkeys swinging around their tree house/playground

little birthday girl was worn out from playing at the parks all day!

caroline and jeremy went on the Kali River Rapids.  we got to see them towards the end of the ride.  it was hilarious because they were both waving to all of us and elliot and right when they had let go of the rails they hit the side wall and it slung them like crazy and splashed them all really good.  i got the perfect shot!

we took a trek through Africa and enjoyed seeing all kinds of different animals...like this weird giraffe/zebra creature :)

 and this HUGE toad

 we also were able to see several beautiful birds and ducks

 

 

 and this GI-NORMOUS hippo...

 and this teenie tiny little meerkat

 a moma and baby gorilla

 and this big guy roaming in the jungle

 donald duck did not fit in very well with those wild animals...

 and neither did mickey :)

 before leaving the parks we snapped a quick shot of tay and curt in front of this pretty palm tree:)

we had such an amazing time at disney world.  gair and i still have a 1 day hopper pass so we will definitely be going back VERY soon :)

i think elliot had a fabulous 2nd birthday!
