Part 1 The Animal Kingdom

Nothing like the smell of fresh animals in the morning!! :rotfl:

The Cast – Same as the day before but we add 2 more in Part 2 of Sunday.
Me- The person taking the pictures
Joey- the one that’s in the pictures
Jimmy- FIL
Shelia-MIL
Eddie-BIL
Andree- SIL (wife to brother-in-law)
Josh-another BIL
Kay-Aunt in law?
Sharla- another aunt in law
Megan- MOH
Sara- MOH’s cousin
Paula- like a sister to me but she’s not in any photos for Sunday for some reason. :confused3
Erika- You’ll see and hear about her

HELLO SUNDAY!! We had 2 coming in today and the rest tomorrow! We all woke up EARLY to head to the AK. Before we left, we had some breakfast in the room and then headed to the buses. On the way to the buses, we met up with one of our good friends Paula. She had just arrived from Vegas on the redeye and she was ready to take a nap. (I guess Joey and I are the only ones that can take on a full day after a redeye flight) Anyway! We said our hellos and made sure she got situated and then we were on the way to see some Animals!

Okay I am going to put this in now. We were unsure of the Bridal hat etiquettes (do wear them before and after the wedding? Do you wear them all week long? Do you wear them ONLY the day after?) SO We decided to wear them all the time starting today and got lots of feedback from CM’s and it was a great conversation starter for people in line.

I’ll now continue about the AK.

We arrived right as the gates were being opened. We went in and stopped and checked out the animals in the front that the CM’s were holding.

We then headed to our first ride, the Kilimanjaro Safaris, there was about a 15-minute wait but with 11 people, we found things to occupy our time . . . .
Notice, I think my hubby was stuck in this pose! :rotfl:

Once we are off the ride, we meet back up with the MIL and the FIL. By this time a lot of us were starving and we decided to split ways from here. It's now Joey, Jimmy, Me, Sara and Megan. Eddie and Andree wanted some alone time and see more animals, Shelia and her sisters and Josh wanted to watch the Lion King show. SO our group was off to ride Primeval Whirl before lunch.

This is so fun to read. I LOVE all the pics too! You may have already mentioned this and I missed it, but what was inside the bride and groom ears? It looks like your names... did you draw that in after you bought them? Did you take stickers to put on them? They're SOOOOO cute :teeth:
