Animal Kingdom

Day 3:

We spent the day at Animal Kingdom. Heather and I took the time to plan last night, so we knew when and what we were doing with little vamping in between. It really helped us throughout the course of the day make sure we did everything everyone wanted to do, and know exactly which restaurants could accommodate Ethan’s special dietary needs.  Looking passed the obsessive hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry…… or the got to go potty, got to go potty, got to go potty….. the constant wet pants(doing laundry again tonight), and the fact that I woke up sick this morning,  I’d say it was an overall good day. Not great, but good.  We had some good times and pretty much knocked out the entire park by 5:00.  Both boys LOVED the safari. Gavin played little tour guide as we went along the “savannah”.  We were able to hit all the main characters today who were decked out in their Christmas gear.  Some were better than others, and we did have to take a potty break in between each of them.  Gavin and I got soaked on Kali River Rapids. I laughed while Gavin turned into the hulk.  “I do NOT wanna ride this again”! He said with a snarl. As payback on the boys, we took them on Dinosaur and they were both super scared.  Ethan and I even went on Expedition Everest where we sat in the very first row. It was awesome! I couldn’t tell if Ethan liked it. He had his head buried into my chest most of the time, but seemed to be happy when we got off, so I’m thinking he liked it. Although, maybe he was just happy to be off and safe on the ground.  We endured some mean people while waiting in line for the parade. We waited for 30 minutes when a Mom tried to plop he kids down in the 1 square foot area between the line and our stroller where the boys were sitting.  We were not about to let that happen. As they walked away, I heard the mom say, “lets just get outta here. This guy has no concept of decency. “ Of course, being a sensitive guy, I let that get to me, but was able to brush it off after Ethan and I hit Everest.  We got back to the hotel by 6:00 and the boys fell asleep by 9:00. Heather and I are about to prep for the Magic Kingdom tomorrow.  Here’s hoping that I wake up and magically no longer have a cold and stuffed sinuses!!
