*DAY AT ANIMAL KINGDOM*

Today we woke up and got ready for our day at Animal Kingdom. We had plans to eat breakfast with Donald Duck and his friends. We made it in time to ride the safari ride before going in. It was pretty impressive how many animals were there and how we rode through the lands in our jeep.
Next we headed to breakfast with Donald, Goofy, Daisy and Mickey. The girls had fun asking them for autographs and seeing Mickey and his friends.
We rode several rides that day, but Alexa's favorite was Expidition Everest. She got to ride it twice since Jay and I had to do the child swap. Maren would get upset every single time she was told she was to short. Next time we go she should be tall enough to ride everything.
We played a game where we teamed up into different groups and they named random items that we may have on us. Alexa and Maren rushed to us every time asking for that item. They named things like Band-Aids, cell phones, someone wearing a watch. Our group won the contest.
Jay and I were also in a dance competition. We had to stand up in front of people and dance to Footloose. We didn't end up winning, but we for sure came in second place! Plus the girls had fun watching their parents had silly.
The girls started getting into trading pins. At first they were more concerned on the rides, but by day 2 they were ready to do some swapping. Maren always shocked me at what she wanted to get. I think she mainly just wanted to swap with each cast member she saw with pins on. Luckily each cast member could only switch two with a person each time. Alexa always loved the quirky ones and hunted for those, so she was on a mission to find the collection.
We also went to a show with Flick from Bug's Life. It was in 3D and at the very end little bugs ran under our seats. The girls got a kick out of that tickling feeling going across our bottoms.
Later we went back to our hotel and swam for a little while. I also made the girls take a nap. Once they woke up we headed back to Magic Kingdom for the firework show and to eat dinner. We also watched the ending parade, which Maren ended up falling asleep at the beginning.
