Animal Kingdom - First Time

We took the kids to Animal Kingdom for the first time. The biggest hit was the dinosaur play area. Lots of slides and things to climb on. Plus the area where you can "dig" for bones.

There are a handful of rides. We rode the flying dinosaur ride (basically the dinosaur version of Dumbo). Of course we had to play some games. Cameron beat Daddy and won a turtle.

According to Cameron, the worst part of the day would be riding on one of the dinsoaur rides. We thought it was just like riding back in time...see a few dinsosaurs...easy stuff. Well as soon as we got in line I had a feeling it was going to be far more intense. He wasn't so sure. It ended up being pretty rough and loud! I had been trying to prep him for it before we got on that it was all pretend and might be loud. We were on a safari type jeep going back in time to find a dinosaur and bring him back...and you had to find him before the comet hit the earth and the dinosaurs die. Trex tries to get us and you can feel his breath on your face...then you just barely get out on time. They take a photo of you on the ride. We saw ours at the end and all Cameron could say (with a completely straight face) was, "Mom, that is NOT my happy face". LOL. He will never go on that one again.

Other highlights of the day were the train ride, the petting zoo, and the safari ride.
