Disney World, Day 3: Animal Kingdom

Day Three started off a little bit unplanned.. an unscheduled doctor's visit to our room happened somewhere in the middle of the night. I can't remember if it was 2 or 5 am.. but there really is no difference between the two.. it's still WAY to early! Poor Emma's fever was spiking out of control and while we didn't have a thermometer to confirm.. she was easily in the 102-103 mark. Fortunately, having a father as a doctor makes it a little more convenient. We simply had Elena move into Mom & Dad's cabin, and Dad moved into ours while he cared for our patient. After a stronger dose of antibiotics and Motrin, the fever was finally better under control by the mid morning. Esther slept through the entire event- I'm sure an ambulance's siren couldn't have awoken her.
Needless to say, our adventure that day was a bit delayed so we didn't make it to the park until closer to lunch time. Emma was feeling better, but in order to keep it that way we would have to cart around a bottle ox Amoxicillin, which requires refrigeration. We simply double bagged it and changed out the ice supply every few hours.
The rest of the day was medically, uneventful thank goodness! We took Asher on "Expedition Everest" and he loved it. We kept teasing him that he would scream.. but he never did. He had a very solemn look on his face the entire time, but would never admit to being scared. I think he did have a good time, but he told us he would rather not go again! We also went on the Safari ride, which the kids all enjoyed.

Heading to Animal Kingdom

Kayla & Ian playing the drums

Asher loves anything that makes noise!

The "Tree of Life"

Poor Emma, still feeling sick.
We bought her a Lion pillow to help make the ride a bit more comfortable.

While watching the bird show, Ian actually got called on from the audience to participate!
The lady standing on the left asked simple math questions like 4+3=? and it was a race to see who would answer first.. the bird or Ian? Actually, the bird won 3 out of 4 questions!

Asher stealing Esther's seat.. and Emma looks a bit perkier!

Sorry.. you'll have to twist your neck for this one!

On the Safari ride..

Mom & Asher

If you look at the water you'll notice we were caught in a daily Florida downpour!

I thought this was a cool picture... I was trying to get one of that tree and never realized there was a broom dangling from the Safari truck!

The Disney Savanna

I don't know what kind of cow (?) this is, but I liked the picture!

Elephants

Flamingos

Time for some more antibiotics!!

Later in the afternoon, at the parade

I think that's Minnie Mouse
(We met another adoptive family with a daughter from China.. she's the one in the pink bow!)

At dinner.. Asher using his chopsticks to eat ice cream! That takes some skill.

Our only sighting of Mickey Mouse from that week..
