Days 4, 5 & 6

Day 4 we went to the Animal Kingdom. Raleigh loves animals and he was so excited to go on the safari and get to see the elephants, giraffe’s, lions, zebra’s etc. Steve and I were excited to finally get to ride the new Everest Expedition coaster. It was pretty cool, not what I had expected but it was still fun.

At the end of the day we headed off to Jacksonville to stay at Dave and Lori’s house so we could go to church with them the next day. It was actually really nice to have a day of rest away from the park after 4 days of feeling like we were running from one place to the next. The kids loved teasing Steve and Dave. Steve was a good sport and even let them put earrings on him to make him look like a girl.

We really enjoyed being able to spend so much time with Dave, Lori, Megan and Emily and when Monday came we were sad to say goodbye. They were so great to be with and we owe Lori a lot for helping us to know the best time to go to Disney and knowing the ins and outs of all the parks. She is really a great Disney Guide. Thanks Lori! Monday we went back down to Disney World for one last day to try and do the things we either didn’t do or wanted to do again. That day was cut a little short since Steve’s flight was changed to leaving Monday instead of Tuesday and we didn’t get to do everything but we still had a good time and Raleigh and I went back to the Magic Kingdom to do all of Raleigh’s stuff one more time that night. The last highlight of Raleigh's trip was getting to meet Lightning McQueen & Mater.


Anyway, that is our trip in a little more than a nut shell but all in all we had a great time.
