Day three took us to Animal Kingdom. This year, in order to spend more time at Animal Kingdom, we decided to skip Hollywood Studios. (Mase was really mad when he realized that meant no Toy Story Mania.)
We had another first today - rope drop at Animal Kingdom. While it's not as involved as the rope drop at Magic Kingdom, it was still cute and fun. As soon as were able to, we made a beeline for Expedition Everest and the Kali River Rapids. Considering the heat, I'm surprised at how long it took for my shorts to dry after getting drenched on the rapids. Mase loves the rapids and especially loves when Nick gets soaked!!! After a big splash hit us he said, "Are you kidding me? Give me a break!" He was brave and tried Expedition Everest for the first time. I would classify him as a semi-fan of Everest. He claimed to like one tiny two-second part of the ride and nothing else.
We made sure to hit Dinoland next because it's a killer in the heat of the day. Mase pressed his first coin of the trip (and his first ever) in Dinoland! He quickly because a big fan of collecting pressed coins.
Dinoland was dinoriffic. All of the kids were sad to leave. Josh cried because he was so heartbroken. He was diggin' the kiddie slide. Mase and Livee had fun running around wild hyenas and I sat down on a nice comfy rock to watch the craziness unfold.
After the park, the McGowen family came over to Animal Kingdom Lodge for some family swim time. Mickey ice creams were had and the pool was enjoyed.
Then it was time for dinner at Boma! The Lang and Lemley families joined us for dinner. I know big groups of people go to Disney every. single. day. But, for some reason our rowdy group sent the waitress into a tailspin. We finally were able to leave and our bellies were full of African fare. Ahhhhh......
