Vacation Day One--Animal Kingdom!

Part of the boys Christmas present was a trip to Disney. We wanted to go before the spring break chaos and got a great deal.....so off we went! We drove from Knoxville to Lake City and stayed there for the night.

However, we had to make a pit stop in Macon Georgia--where I sat in the car for 2 hours with 3 kids while Eric went to a walk in clinic. He started feeling bad a few days before we left and was afraid that he would be really sick by the time we got to Disney....so we stopped for him to get a prescription.

The boys were so excited and actually thought that the Comfort Suites in Lake City was Disney World....it was REALLY nice.

We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and saw TONS of animals right off our balcony.

Gavin after riding his very first roller coaster....Expedition Everest!  He rode it twice...once with Eric and once with me.

One of the boys favorite rides was Kilimanjaro Safari's.  We saw more animals up close than we ever have before.  Gavin wanted Eric to take pictures of every single one.  This isn't even half of the animals....
