Disney 2012, Part 3, Animal Kingdom

On our second full day in Disney World, we ventured to the Animal Kingdom.


Given how much Aven loves animals, our first stop was the Animal Kingdom Safari.

Rory had a good time too looking for the flamingos, elephants, giraffes, and cheetahs.



Rory poses and ...

... her little sister spots a tiger! And it's sleeping. Boy ...

... that looks comfortable. Maybe I should take a nap like the tiger.




The Animal Kingdom is an homage to animals living and extinct. Here, the triceratops.


The highlight of the day was a production of the Lion King.

Rory -- out little gymnast -- was particular enamored with the monkey antics on the bars.

Aven enjoyed the show too ... until she peed in her pants. You've got to hand it to Disney. Only place on earth that you could change a child in the middle of a theater production.


The sisters pose for the camera.

And the sisters show off their necklaces featuring Disney pins.

But before the day is over, my ladies enjoy a drink on the house.
