It’s a jungle out there!

Today was a fun day at Animal Kingdom. We only spent about 7 hours there which was plenty. There was lots to see and amazing shows but not too many “rides”. Ryan kept asking for the rides:) After we got back to the resort the kids were ready to go to the pool so off we went. They swam and we sat:) They love the pool and it tires them out. We are now winding down and they are watching a movie before bed. The agenda tomorrow consists of downtown Disney midmorning and then back to Magic Kingdom for the evening. They loved it so much and are still talking about it today so we are going to experience the few things they loved one more time and end the night with the parade and fireworks!! Here are some pictures of the amazing animals we saw today.

The fruit bats were amazing. They are HUGE!!! It was so neat to see them hanging and every once in a while they would flap a bit to cool off.

The tree of life is the central attraction of animal kingdom. This was at the end of the day and both of them were tired!
