It's Sunday morning, 5 a.m., I don't know how but it's easy to get up this early. My friends are already up and eating a quick breakfast before heading out to the airport. It's starting to rain, time to go. As we are starting to pull out of OKW, there is someone out jogging in the rain. Now that is devotion to exercise. On the way to the airport, my friends are talking about their time with me at WDW and reminiscing. We all had a great time together but they have to head back to reality in Detroit. I don't envy them - I know in another week, it will be my turn. I drop them off, hugs all around and drive back to OKW to catch some zzz's before DH decides to get up. The phone rings at 9 a.m. and it's DH's sister. They want to meet us at AK and spend some time with us today. So we set a time to meet and our day is planned. We decided to meet in front of the Tree of Life around 11:00. Slowly but surely, there's one of my nephews and his dad, then not too far behind, is my sister-in-law and my other nephew. We all hug and they ask what should we do first. They try to elect me as their guide since I have already been there the week before. No, no, no, I ask what they want to see and do. We decide to see "A Bug's Life" since we're all right here and they are anxious to get seeing and doing. So, that's what we see first. The reactions of my S-I-L and her DH are hiliarious - they just about jumped out of their seats when the bugs exited. I'm trying hard not to laugh all the way up the path to Kilimanjara Safari and am being scolded for not warning anyone. Why take the fun out of it, I say. Grab a fast pass and S-I-L and I decide to walk over to the "Flights of Wonder" in Asia. My DH, S-I-L's DH, and my nephew decide to sit it out at the Dawa Bar. So that leaves S-I-L, my other nephew and me for the bird show. It was quite entertaining and my S-I_L screamed LOUDLY in my ear when a hawk flew between us to one of the CM's. But, all in all, we esp. enjoyed the parrot who sang 2 songs, which my nephew will never believe he actually sang. I believe it - after all, it's Disney magic! After the show, we strolled back, collected the rest of our crew and headed over to the safari. My S-I-L's family could not believe how we walked past all those people standing on line and we were on. The animals were once again out - not quite as many as last week, but this time around they were not even an arm's length from the jeep. It presented a great picture taking trip. Everyone enjoyed that and were very impressed. I then suggested that we walk over to the Tarzan Show - a not to be missed show. After a short 15 minutes or so on line we had great seats - center of the theater and 3rd row back. DH is even impressed that I know where to sit for the best pictures, now. All were left with comments galore at the talent they had just seen. My one nephew so wants to work for Disney someday and perhaps, be one of the singing stars of the shows. By now, it's almost 3 p.m. and I am tiring out. I suggest to DH that I go back to OKW and get some much needed rest. We decide to get together with S-I-L's family later that night after I catch a nap. Back at OKW, DH decides he needs to head out to the jacuzzi while I'm napping and before the much heard about cold weather sets in. After, the much needed rest, I'm ready to go again but we can't seem to reach S-I-L's family. DH and I decide to head out to Super Walmart to get a few more groceries for the room and check out the flea market on 192. It wasn't really a flea market like we're used to, but that's what they call it. When we get back to the room, it's getting past the time I will allow myself to eat a dinner, so I prepare some instant spaghetti dinner for 2 and we decide to take a walk and call it a night.
