Day Three: Animal Kingdom

The kids slept in till 7:30 this morning. We were on our way about 8:30 to the Animal Kingdom. The bus system is amazing both in the camp ground and in Disney World. Our first stop was Kilimanjaro Safari where an open air Monster Truck took us through the wilds of Africa. Quite a story with lots of excitement. In the early afternoon we saw the most amazing show - Finding Nemo - The Musical. We had front row seats. It was absolutley outstanding - the costumes were amazing, the light effects were great and the singing - excellent. Zachariah slept right through it but the rest of us sat there with our mouths open in awe. Definately my highlight. We also saw The Lion King Show. Again, no wait and front row seats. The Lord continues to bless and spoil us. The show was was low tech but had a lot of audience participation, amazing dancing and fantastic harmony. Dinner at Tuskers was very good - a taste of Africa. We came home after dinner for a swim and to put the little ones to bed. Everyone from Jacob up, has returned to Epcot Centre to spend the evening. Cindy and I are staying behind tonight. A little down time together is just what we need! The kids can fill in their highlights later. Brian

Cindy says: For me too the shows were amazing. How we just seemed to show up at the right time and be escorted to the best seats... What an amazing God we serve. Twice when we arived at stations for buses an empty one would pull up and pick just us up to take us to the next thing on our agenda The kids have been amazing.. whether it be pushing their mother in the wheel chair, ( why couldn't I be one of the skinny cancer patients), holding my arm while Iwalk, getting me drinks and looking out for each other for me! We are so blessed in our children... Our prayer time before they headed out was wonderful! I didn't nap today and am very tired. God Bless

Jacinta: My favourite part of yesterday was going with Mary-Frances on the rollercoster. Instead of watching the ride, I just watched her face...it was comical! It would cycle through expressions of fear, excitement, joy, and complete horror!! Also, sitting with Theresa-Marie on the Everest ride was pretty sweet...it was so scary!!

Mary-Kate: My favourite was running around with Mikaila when all the older kids went on a roller coaster... she was too short and I was too scared... we rode a dinosour, climbed these weird rope things and then watched the parade with her. Me and her would run down along the parade line trying to get the characters to high five her. The excitement was contagious!! I loved every minute.

Isaac: One of my favorite parts was later, when the older kids left because the little girls and zacheriah were in bed. We went to watch a 3D movie and at one point they let a whole bunch of mice loose in the show.you could hear them squeaking all over the theater and it felt like you could feel them running along your legs. Anna-Michelle screamed, lifted her legs off the floor, closed her eyes, and plugged her ears. it was funny. that part made my whole day.
