Ok, we're having a pretty easy day here, so I'm going to try to get an update done now and maybe another one later.
On this day, we didn't get up quite as early because our ADR for Tusker House wasn't until 10:10. We still gave ourselves over an hour of travel time, and we thought that would be enough. Here are a few pics of me and Addy before we left the hotel room........don't mind my crazy hair.........it wasn't completely dry yet.
Well, once we were all dressed, we headed for the bus stop.........there were a ton of people there, and it turns out they were all waiting to go to Animal Kingdom

. A bus finally got there, but it got completely full before we could even get close. Another bus came, but it was almost completely full before it even got to our stop. We didn't get on it either

. The driver called on the radio and told them to send another bus, but it was probably a good 20 minutes before it go there. We did get on that one, but by the time we got to Animal Kingdom, it was almost 10:30.........since we didn't know where Tusker House was, I figured there was no point of even trying to check in late. I was really frustrated, and the park was really busy, so we even talked about going to a different park, but we had Yak & Yeti reservations for that afternoon, and Adam was really excited about eating there, so we decided to stay.
I took a few pictures of the Tree of Life when we walked in, and Anna looked at me and said, "Mommy, why are you taking pictures of that tree?"

Once we got closer and she could see all the animals in it, she understood.
I also took a picture of this, just because I thought it was pretty. I love the theming at Animal Kingdom!
Once we got oriented, we all decided that we were starving! However, Adam and I knew that we needed to ride Kali and Everest before my mom left because we weren't sure if Anna would ride them with us. We headed to Kali, and Anna decided she would ride with us, so mom and Addy waited while we went on. There was basically no wait. We rode with a nice family, so that was good too. However, as expected, we got soaked! It wasn't very warm yet that morning, so it was a bit chilly when we got off. We all enjoyed the ride though.
Once we got off, we knew we needed to go somewhere that we could get some food. We ended up at the first place that we came to.........which I'm pretty sure was Restaurantosaurus. DH had a double cheeseburger and fries, I had a cheeseburger and fries, my mom had a hot dog and fries, and Anna got the chicken nuggets again. We got applesauce and grapes for her and fed the applesauce and a couple chicken nuggets to Addy. Anna also shared some fries and the chocolate cake that we all got for dessert. The food was ok, but mom really liked the topping bar they had for the hot dog (it had sauerkraut and stuff on it). Once we all got some food in us, we all felt a little better.
Adam ran over to Everest and got us Fastpasses so we could ride before my mom left............I don't think Anna was tall enough to ride this, but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have anyway. Then, he met us at Dinosaur. The standby line was short, so we decided to give the baby swap a try. This is the one and only time we did this during our trip, but it worked really well. Adam and I rode first (Anna didn't want to), and when we got off, Adam rode with my mom (because Anna was insisting that I had to stay with her).
By the time we got off, Adam and I basically had to sprint across the park before our fastpases expired! Mom and the girls ended up waiting for us in the same restaurant that we had eaten lunch in, mostly because there was good air conditioning and it was getting pretty warm. Adam and I got there with about 5 minutes to spare (thank goodness Adam has a good sense of direction), and we LOVED it! I have to say, even though I knew that it went backwards, that part was a little disconcerting. Dh didn't know that it did that, and he was pretty surprised! We did buy the picture for this one, but, once again, I haven't scanned it yet.
By the time we got done riding and made it back to my mom, Addy was getting a little cranky, so she decided to go back to the hotel. We had an early supper scheduled (4:30), so she just decided that she and Addy would just eat at the hotel and see us when we got back. We all walked up to the front with them.
Once we got them safely to the bus, Anna decided she wanted to see some characters, so we headed for Camp Mickey Minnie. We did take a few pictures first though.
On the way there, we saw these at the DVC booth and had to stop. Anna loves taking pictures with these things

I couldn't quite get her lifted high enough for this one

I've got a restless little one here, so I'll be back to finish up in a little bit.
