Disney – Animal Kingdom

This visit began without rain and then, well the sky opened up.  It did stop by mid afternoon and we stuck it out with wet sandals and then trucked over to the Magic Kingdom to sneak in a few attractions in case it continued to pour.  The may have given us soggy shoes but thanks to those fabulous ponchos we stayed nice and dry.

This is one of the places we went to in the rain.  Definetely a fun way to dry out.

There were a couple of highlights.

1.Katrine got to ride on her first backwards coaster with her father while Elspeth and I went to visit Pochahontas and explored a bit of Dino-land. (Hence the fewer photos of Katrine).

No photos of Katrine without her China sister but here is a Mickey pretzel they enjoyed while chilly.

2. The rain actually brought out many of the animals on the Safari Ride.  We got to see a baby rhino frolicking in a mud puddle.  Plus, the birds and elephants were out in force.

Okay, of course I need to end this post with some random images of our day.
