Happy Birthday to Eric!






Today we slept in and went to Animal Kingdom. We were there 4 years ago and enjoyed it (the kids only Disney experience but Maddie was only 1), but they added some new rides and shows. Our favorite ride of all of Disney parks is now Expedition Everest. We rode it 6 times today! It is a huge roller coaster that goes into Mt Everest and it goes backwards and through the mountain. There is a Yeti inside the mountain and Maddie covered her head every time we went in the mountain so she would not see him. We have pictures from the ride (I learned to take a picture of the picture they capture on the ride with no flash - it's a little fuzzy, but much cheaper!) I will also attach one from the ride Dinasaur where she again is covering her head. She is a little thrill seeker, but no scary creatures please. We think it is so great that both of our kids love roller coasters! They have a Nemo Musical which was really great too! We took a jungle Safari and saw African animals in the wild. It was a very fun day. For Eric's birthday, we went to Macaroni Grille for pasta. It wasn't as good as we remembered in Minnesota our week at Mayo Clinic. We had a very small table that moved every time we breathed and I spilled my water all over Zach's plate... oops! Anyways, we are full and we have leftovers and cake in the fridge for tomorrow. It is supposed to be 78 tomorrow!!! Hooray! We plan on going swimming while all of you enjoy the wonderful Michigan weather we've been hearing about. Stay warm!
Blessings.

Eric, Lori, Zach, and Maddie--
Looks like you're having a wonderful vacation! Glad to hear it! Lori, I was sorry I missed your call yesterday. I enjoyed reading your posts and looking at the pictures and will be sure to check back often. Happy Birthday Zach and Eric! Zach, Jared says hi! Your hamster is doing well! I've even looked at him a few times! : ) We'll see you all in a few days. Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and have a safe trip home! God Bless!
