The #1 thing that Charley wanted us to do was go on the elephant ride. About 4 years ago, when we went, Charley took Kristina on the elephant ride, had their picture taken while on the elephant, and then had a tank top made with the picture on it. Unfortunately they no longer put the picture on clothing, so we had to settle for regular pictures. We bought pictures of us but we don't have digital images. Maybe I can post a "picture of a picture" at a later date. Below is a picture of Charley and the boys on the elephant. Since I am the main photographer in the family, there is no picture of the girls and I on the elephant, but we had a ride too....even Anna (she was holding on to Kristina so tight that she was pinching her:)
The boys on the frog ride. They almost blend in with their green shirts:)
They have a great butterfly display there where you can walk amidst the butterflies...and sometimes they even land on you. There were some really beautiful ones. The Lord is so good to make such vibrant colors for us to enjoy!
We were also able to feed the birds. We bought some little cups of nectar and the birds land on you and drink from the little cup. Pretty neat! Poor Kristina had a headache and backache most of the day so she didn't get in many of the other pictures as she just wasn't feeling up to it.:(:(
Notice the wet clothing? Double that and that is what I looked like after the rafting ride. My shorts were pretty much DRENCHED!
"The Bunny!" as Anna kept saying during the day.
Anna and Mommy on the Harold the Helicopter ride.
It was a fun, but very tiring day. Most of the kids were asleep by the time we arrived home...and yes....this time I remembered sunscreen and hats for everyone.
Great job kids on reading all those books and earning your Discovery Kingdom certificates/tickets!!
