On Thursday, Ray, Tim and I decided we should check out the other water park, Blizzard Beach. The theme of Blizzard Beach is unusual: a freak snowstorm hit Florida and disney, always keen to take advantage of a marketing opportunity, opened a ski resort. Well, the snow began to melt, of course, so now the bobsled and skiing courses are water slides. Good fun - especially when the rains poured down on us!
One of the wonderful things about Ray is that he will pose for ANY picture I want to take.
Thursday was the Davis Clan's last day in Florida, so we chose to meet up with them that night at the Magic Kingdom to watch the parade & the fireworks.
Slideshow time! Click on the little "View Show" buttons if you're having trouble seeing the images.
The archway through Cinderella's Castle is very pretty. Lovely mosaics. Not enough people take the time to appreciate it.
Spectromagic!
Here's dear Helen & my sweet Ashes. I miss them so much! Sobebody kidnap them & drag them to North Carolina. ;)
And then it was Friday. Our last day. We chose to spend most of it at Animal Kingdom. I had never been there before, but I must say that I liked it a LOT more than I thought I would. We didn't get to see half of what it has to offer, so I look forward to going back.
The very best thing was the safari ride. The road the truck drives along is VERY very bumpy & I chose not to take pics because I was sure my camera would be thrown from my hands! But the views we saw of the elephants and giraffes and other animals ... wow. Breath taking. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the whole trip.
Since it was our last night together, those of us who were still in town got together for dinner. It was a nice way to close out the trip.
Tim & Tiff - aka "two peas in a pod" :)

That may have been our last full day in Florida, but I'm not quite done with photos yet! Next time ... Chicken Pics!
