Sometimes Wishes Do Come True: Animal Kingdom and Last Day

For our last park day, we headed into the Animal Kingdom!  I think The Lion King show and the character lunch were the highlights of our visit here!




Walking into Animal Kingdom!  Little Buddy immediately loved seeing the tree!





Here comes our Safari truck!










Ready to go on our Safari!










Not all of our pictures came out well, but we loved seeing all of the animals!



We were starting to get hungry and headed over to our last character lunch of the week, hoping to find the elusive Daisy Duck!



     

Loved this character lunch, especially because we...




     





...we finally found DAISY!  These two couldn't keep their eyes off of her!





     


Here's Donald!




     


Kisses for Mickey's nose!



     

Little Sister was also a big fan of the desserts!




     


     


     


They were fascinated by this cannon in Animal Kingdom!










Climbing elephant statues!



















Hugs and high fives from Chip and Dale!




It was starting to get hot, so we looked for ways to stay cool!  Water toys, fountains, and rides were in our future!


     


Little Sweetie is hot, but at least looks cool in her new hat!





Working hard to stay cool!




     


Now she's really cool!  Thank goodness for fountains!








Momma and Little Buddy rafting the rapids!







Drumming on some drums!


After all the drumming, we decided that some more music and a show were in order.  Time for The Lion King!











     









They loved The Lion King show!









The Tree of Life.




Checking out the Tree of Life...right before Daddy got stung by a bee!  :(  I guess we are just lucky that it was our only injury of the trip!






We got rained out!  Time to go back to the Villa!






Checking out Little Buddy's crazy tan lines!



It was almost time for bed when we heard a knock...let's see if we have time for one more surprise!


It's Mayor Clayton, Mayor of Give Kids the World Village!








































Celebrated our last night at Give Kids the World by having Mayor Clayton himself come tuck the kids in!  Little Sister was a bit frightened at first, but quickly warmed up!




     


     


     


     


     


Horse back riding for both kiddos on our last day at Give Kids the World!






Playing on the Candyland playground before we catch our flight!  What a magical week!


I can't believe it's over.  In fact, I can't believe it even happened.  I am so glad we got to share this week together as a family.  No matter what happens in the future, we will always have these memories and nothing can ever take that away from us.  We loved our trip, hated why we got to have it, but we loved the trip.  And we will keep making memories together, because sharing our love and joy is what matters!



This face.  I will do anything to keep it smiling just like this.



With wishes for the future, 

LBM

Little Buddy's Momma
