Tree of Life

While Glenn and Adam went to their meetings on Friday, Ben, Gina and I headed off to Disney. Our first stop was at Animal Kingdom. We LOVED it! We were there for opening and it was the cutest ceremony. Mickey, Minnie and Pluto drove up on a truck! We were on the front row, thanks to Ben. As soon as the ropes were dropped, though, everyone started running in the park towards the big rides. We headed to Africa and got our "fast passes" for the safari, then walked through the African trail to see the cool animals. From here we walked through Asia to the Dinosaur area where we road the flying Triceretops, Primeval Whirl (the closest to a roller coaster I was willing to get) and the biggie, Dinosaur, which was awesome with all the dinos popping out and growling at you! We finished off with the 3D "It's Tough to be a Bug" (I mean we were there for a pest control convention....haha!!) and it was sooo cute.

Then, we headed via Disney bus over to Hollywood Studies for the rest of the afternoon!
