Our trip to Orlando, FL was wonderful. It was great to relax with the kids and Nic and just spend some good quality "family time" Alaina was so excited to get in some pool time with Brayden and we had great weather the entire week. (It only rained one day.) We made two day trips over the week. The first to Sea World which is always one of my favorites and the second to Disney's Animal Kingdom which was pretty interesting as well. At Animal Kingdom we saw all sorts of exotic animals on our "safari" and then as we walked through the trails. Brayden and Alaina both loved seeing all the animals and seemed to have a wonderful time. Oh... and if you asked them their favorite part... it was the ducks.

One of the many beautiful birds that were living at Animal Kingdom.

This tiger was looking for his dinner!

This tree is carved by a bunch of artists and is carved into many many animals.

I think this is the only "family" picture that we got during the entire week in Orlando.

Instead of feeding the animals the kids were encouraged to brush them.

Look closely and you'll see a hippo sleeping under the water surrounded by fish.

This gorilla was a bachelor that was out roaming by himself.

The lone lion that we saw. He was napping under a tree so we didn't really get a great view of him.

The white rhinos resting.
