DISNEY 2011 (ANIMAL KINGDOM & MAGIC KINGDOM)

We got up bright and early (because who wants to sleep in when the weather is sooooo great) to go to......Animal Kingdom!  Blake's favorite thing is making animal sounds.  We were so excited to see him with the animals.....especially the LIONS.  
Betsy, Jenn, Chris
(Jenn and I taught kindergarten together in Celebration!  Now, Betsy and Jenn teach together.)
The beautiful Tree of Life.
We turned the corner and immediately saw Eeyore.  Blake liked him enough to kiss his nose!
Then Blake saw Pluto and Goofy and made his dog noises.  But then he decided he wasn't sure about seeing them.  I think it was because Goofy was soooo tall.  He's much taller in person than on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  
Blake's first ride at Animal Kingdom, TriceraTop Spin.
Blake was thrilled to play in the Boneyard.  
One of Blake's favorite shows is Festival of the Lion King.  During the entire show he kept looking at the lion (thinking he was real) and roaring.  
Here are some animals we saw on Kilimanjaro's Safari.

Later in the day we hopped parks and headed to the Magic Kingdom to meet up with Blake's cousins, Emily and Ella.
We also changed clothes (which seemed to be a necessity for most of the trip), but as you can see, he was thrilled to be outside and playing with friends.
Blake on the monorail.  He wanted his own seat!
Our first time riding Dumbo!
Blake was thrilled to be on the Buzz Lightyear ride!  He was able to spin our car around and around and around.  Eric and I were a little excited to get off the ride.  Ha!
Betsy and Grace perfecting their skills.
Buzz Lightyear!!!! 
The Electrical Light Parade.  This was a highlight for Blake.  
We finished the evening off with fireworks while waiting in line to ride Winnie the Pooh.  A perfect ending to a perfect day!
