Meeting Daddy at Animal Kingdom

Tim spent the weekend in Jacksonville at a pastors' retreat. We really missed him and decided to meet up with him on his way back by getting together at Animal Kingdom and showing Micah the animals. Daddy and Micah were really glad to see each other again - and Mommy was excited too! It's hard to be a single parent, even for just a few days. Here are my boys at Animal Kingdom. Micah's looking at the gorillas and explaining something about them to his attentive father. A close up of the gorilla that Tim and Micah were watching. We went on a safari ride to see the animals up close. I technically wasn't supposed to go, being pregnant and all (expectant mothers were discouraged from riding) but I really wanted to go so I risked an early labor. No worries - all is well. Here we are on our trip, and Micah is checking out the hippos. Check out the number of crocodiles in this pond! We couldn't even count. Micah's favorite - the giraffe! I think I'm going to blow this picture up and put it in his new big-boy room. The ginormous elephants trolling for lunch.Technically, this is called a white rhino, although our guide offered some sort of explanation as to why they're not actually white. I don't remember - but it was cute! One of the lionesses sat up just as we were driving by.Not a great picture of the ostrich - which was REALLY close to our vehicle - but I couldn't resist posting it because it just looks like the thing is laughing hysterically at us! Update on baby #2: our c-section is officially scheduled for May 21 at 7:30. One more month to go!!
