On day 3 we ventured out to Animal Kingdom! The first thing we did was the Safari, which was pretty cool. Lola (*in her earmuffs) enjoyed seeing the animals, and Keaton took at least 50 pictures. Mom and dad said that we barely saw any animlas compared to what they normally see on that attraction, but either way, the Reimer family was impressed! The following pictures are of us on the safari...
Keaton the photographer...
such a cutie....sweet and innocent.... :)
the giraffes...
Keaton in front of the giraffes...
After the safari ride we walked through some different animal exhibits. The kdis really love to look at animals and had a really good time! We also saw the scary scary Lion King show> (it is really not scary at all....Lola just talked about it before and during the trip and was completely dead set against going?) She did end up loving the show. 
The kids' favorite thing that day was the Dinosaur playground. It was an excellent play area that had stairs, ramps, tunnels, bridges...and best of all LOTS of slides. The kids had a blast and really enjoyed having some free time!

After the dinosaur playground we headed back to the motel for the afternoon...more swim and downtime was needed! By the way, the kids had swimming lessons twice this last summer, but at the end, Keaton still hung by the edge and Lola would try to swim, but sank. NOW after this trip they can both swim on their own and just love the pool! The first picture is of Lola and grandma swimming... (love the goggles). 
Lola jumping in (no fear)
Keaton jumping in (lots of fear...it is more of a sit into the pool than a jump)
the swimming crew: Lola, Grandma Piano, Great Grandpa Werges, Keaton and Me!
After swimming we headed to the Contemporary Resort near the Magic Kingdom to eat at a Character Buffet with Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy and Donald! (If you haven't noticed, Lola wore this polka dot shirt a lot...she got so many compliments on her shirt and the flower in her hair, so she kept wanting to wear them!)
Grandma Piano, Grandpa Sheryl, Lola & Keaton all ready to go out!
Lola, Mommy, and Keaton riding the monorail! (they loved it)
Before we got to the restaurant, Lola informed me that she was too scared to take pictures with the characters. She decided that I would have to stand between her and the character...so I did! I told her that she had to pick one character that she would take a picture alone with (she picked Pluto). The meal was very fun. The characters took turns at each table taking pictures and signing autographs. The kids really enjoyed it! Notice Lola's face in this first picture :) too funny.

After supper we went to the Magic Kingdom and visited a few things, then the fireworks started and Lola began freaking out! So, Grandma, Grandpa and Lola headed back to the motel and Keaton and I stayed for the fireworks. They were awesome!
