Craig and I went to Orlando for a couple of days. Thanks to friends and relatives that helped with the kids. On my birthday we went to disney's animal kingdom. It was a lot of fun. The day was hot and being six months pregnant I waddled very slowly through the park. So glad we went.
This giant ant eater was one of the first things we saw. He is big (he is in the middle of the picture right in front of the palms). I didn't know that they slept for 15 hrs a day.
We took a ride on the safari, one of two rides I could do being pregnant! Of course we saw many more animals then we could get pictures of, but here are some of the animals we got to see.
Black Rino
Lots of Hippos.
American Aligators
There were several giraffes.
African Elephant, Craig likes elephants. The baby elephants were cute following the mamas.
This tree looks like it its upside-down!
Whit rhinos.
Male lion, he is right at the crest of the hill under the tree.
Ostrich, my inlaws used to raise them. They had laid their eggs all over the savannah, but I didn't get a picture of them:(
I loved this mural, it was inside one of the buildings.
This is the skull of a female African Elephant. It is huge. At the nutrition center they have skulls all over, but this one amazed me!
Craig in front of Rafaki. I love the Rafaki character from the Lion King movie. I like that Rafaki can see the right even when no one else does.
The next three pictures are of the carvings around the "tree of life". This is a huge man made tree (with a theatre inside) that has carvings all over it of different animals. I took a few pictures as we waited in line to see the bug movie that was inside of the tree.
The title of the 3D movie we saw in the tree "It's tough to be a Bug"
Craig and I look great in our "honorary bug glasses"!
Another shot of the tree of life. Which animals can you pick out?
