The girls were so excited to be swimming today. It was real nice to have a morning to just chill at home. Around lunchtime we decided to go grab a bite to eat and check out some souvenir shops.
As we were pulling out of the driveway the guys were getting home. They decided to follow us to McDonalds and then would go back home while we went and did some shopping.
We left for the park around 2:00. Another beautiful day!
There was no wait to meet up with some of the characters so we grabbed a few autographs as we went by. The girls couldn't help but giggle when they realized that Tarzan wasn't wearing pants.
We walked through the gorilla exhibit- of course one of the highlights of the trip for me :-)
Next up was the safari. It was incredible.
Words can not even describe how awesome it was. The tour guide drove us through telling us about the animals that we would see along the way. At one point we turned a corner and we approached an area that looked like it was straight out of a movie. Animals of all sorts just walking through, all sharing space together. Giraffes walking in front of us and at one point they were so close to our vehicle that you could have reached out and touched them.
We then shared a Dole Whip and the girls sat by to watch a street show before we went into the Lion King show. It was quite the production!
We walked around a bit and then made our way to the roller coaster, Expedition Everest.
Later named the "Mommy Killer". I don't do well on fast moving things lately. Ever since the girls were born my motion sickness has been ridiculous. I wasn't going to go on the ride until I started getting hassled by the family. "Fine. I will do it but it will probably make me sick."
The ride started out ok but it was starting to get dark so you couldn't see very well. That was not helping my situation. I could hear Hailey screaming from behind me and I started to worry about her.
Then we got to the top of a hill and stalled there for a minute. Then as we started to move we could feel that we were moving backwards......OH NO!
This ride was probably pretty awesome for someone that could handle it.
Eventually it was over after a lot of speed and a lot of quick movements. Get me off of this thing!
Hailey was the only other one happy that this was over.
I needed a few minutes to sit down so Hannah and grandma decided to go on the ride a few more times to give me a break.
The park was now closing and it was time for us to leave.
We stopped at Texas Roadhouse on the way home and as soon as I smelled the bread they dropped off to the table I felt like I was going to lose it. I needed to go. We weren't too far from the house so Brian drove me home while the others waited for their food. He made it back just in time!
Although I was sad to miss out on the family dinner, it felt so nice to just sit and relax with the lights off- falling in and out of sleep.
