Vacation

We have had A LOT going on around here it seems like.  We just spent a week at a [timeshare] resort in Kissimmee with John, Rach, and Wyatt.  We did all four of the Disney parks as well as having pool time, shopping time etc.

Our first day, we did Animal Kingdom.  Rach and John had not been to that park before.  We couldn't have asked for better weather.  Though it had already gotten hot here in Hobe Sound, we had really pleasant days except for the last couple days of our vacation.

Wyatt was afraid of the characters the first couple days.  He was interested in them and liked them - from a distance but it took him a bit to get used to them.  That's pretty normal with kids his age though from what we've seen.

Eeyore playing peek-a-boo with Wyatt.

He wasn't "screamingly" terrified - just hesitant and a bit fearful.  He loves the Pooh characters in books, movies, toys, etc.

Kay LOVES Pluto - she loves all the characters but she really seems especially fond of him most of the time.

Pluto, Kay, and I dancing.

Triceratops Spin

This particular monkey (or ape I guess) island has one family of apes. This was the sister I believe.

This was the dad, who seemed to be very much posing for all of us watching.

 

And this is mom and the baby.  These are called white cheeked gibbons and Kaelyn learned all about them from one of the cast members who works with them.

Kevin and John riding Expedition Everest roller coaster.

Love this one!  :-D

Me pretending to be trying to pull this surrey (or whatever it's called).

So then of course, Kaelyn wanted to do it and have her picture taken also.  :-)

This is for you Mama.

Saw this cardinal in some bamboo and brush back on one of the animal trails.  It was already very close to us and then with just a little zoom, Kevin got this great picture.

Don't ask!  :-)
