The Animal Kingdom

We went to Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom on Monday with Daddy. It was absolutely beautiful! Grace and I enjoyed our time there so much that we decided to return to the Animal Kingdom yesterday while Daddy was working. In the picture above, Grace was very taken with this tiger whom she named Marsha!

This picture of Grace was taken as we were first walking into the Animal Kingdom. Grace has always loved animals and she was so excited to meet new animal friends!

Our favorite part of the Animal Kingdom park was the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. We rode in an open safari vehicle which allowed us to see so many African animals up close!

Grace was SO excited to show her beloved pink elephant (Ella) all of the elephants on the safari ride!

All of the animals seen along on the safari ride were pictured above our seats. Grace looked up with amazement before the ride started to discover just how many animals we would be seeing on our safari adventure.

Grace loved listening to the African drums. Grace later joined in to play the drums too.

Grace quickly became friends with the African drummer and before they parted ways they shared a special goodbye.

This was the perfect way for Grace to cool off!

We took a train ride to a conservation center where Grace enjoyed petting and brushing goats.

Admiring the Tree of Life.


Grace always takes EVERYTHING in. I love this picture of her studying and capturing all of the beautiful sites around her.

Grace took charge of the map on our tour through the jungle. She was the perfect tour guide!

This series of photos are so beautiful. Rebecca, you are such a talented photographer. You captured some of the "true" Grace in these pictures--which is not an easy task because there is so much more to this little girl than a photo can tell! The Animal Kingdom was just meant for a girl like Grace who certainly LOVES her animals. She will be talking about this experience forever. I Love, Love it all,
Maddy

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
