Day 3. Disney World. Animal Kingdom

We loved it too.  When you enter the park you see this amazing tree and all of it's carvings. It's so beautiful.  Dallon and I took dozens of pics of just it... and none of them do it justice. I've always wanted to see this tree!

Inside the tree there is a 4D movie, It's A Bugs Life.  The movie was so great. Definitely a Haley family favorite.  If you click on this picture you can make it bigger and then you can see a lot more of the detail in the tree.
The kids started their own Disney Pin collections and loved trading with the workers there. You can just walk up to any worker and ask them to see their pins and if you like one you see you can ask them if they would be willing to trade.  So fun!
This is the vehicle you ride in on the animal safari.

Dawson and I in front of my favorite ride in all of Disney World... Expedition Everest.  It's a coaster that is inside of that mountain.  It goes forwards, backwards and in total darkness for a period of time too.  It was a pretty good thrill.  Honestly, I can't believe he liked it enough to ride it not only once but twice.  Once with his mommy, and once with Daddy.  
Animal Kingdom was so beautiful.  Everywhere I looked there were placed I wanted to take a picture of.   What I would give to do a photo shoot there.  
Ohana means family in Hawaiian. Ohana was a restaurant.  A little fancier than our kids have been to before.  There were cloth napkins...  that was the first sign that things were going to be "nice". Aaron was trying to teach Dallon that it is proper to place the napkin on his lap.  Dallon said out loud, in a totally discusted voice... "Dad's trying to make me be fancy!" Aaron and I laughed so hard.

I'm jealous. Your trip looks like so much fun! I love all of your pictures. They will be so much fun for your kids to look back on. Especially when they don't remember the trip quite as well, like me. I love the pictures. It brings alot of it back to life.

I like how you split your trip up into days, it gets too overwhelming to do it all at once! I love all your pictures, it looks like you guys had so much fun!
