Disney Day 3 - Animal Kingdom

We were so exhausted from all the walking and heat during our Epcot day that we decided to forgo running on Saturday. So, at 8:30 am, we all boarded a bus to head over to Animal Kingdom for Disney, day #3. In what is obviously typical fashion, it was hot and crowded 😂 but we did Dinosaur, which was probably the best of the rides, plus a safari, a Gorilla Walk which yielded some neat animal sightings including Golden Weavers, which were really cool!, and the Navi River Journey in the Avatar area of the park. Sam also got her face painted - it's fun to see her going all in with the experience 😍 and she really is having a great time! - and it was another character lunch, which the kids had a blast at.

Dinosaur!

Lots of ibis just strutting around the eating areas sort of like crows. Neat but also kind of sad...

Finally a character photo with Cam!

Golden weavers - so cool!

Saw this guy bring a piece of grass up and weave it into its nest - neat!!

These kids 💖💖

We headed back mid-afternoon and did a bit of relaxing and spent some time at the arcade before Sam, Ryan and I headed over to the Contemporary for a quiet dinner and then out to meet up with everyone for smores to finish up the night.
