My parents, aka Grammy & Granddad, arrived this afternoon. The kids were thrilled. the whole group of 12 went to dinner at boma in the animal kingdom lodge. i was very much looking forward to this meal, and seeing AKL.
It was beautiful, of course. the weather was clear & looking out the window in the soaring lobby, you could see giraffes roaming the savannah. we ate at a large table right next to the hostess stand. i sat at one end with my folks & in'laws. brian was at the other end with the kids and millers. the volks enjoyed relaying stories from the past two days. mom asked lots of questions :)
the food was great for a buffet. plenty of choices with a good mix of new and familiar. loren & i especially enjoyed the peanut butter rice. there was also a watermelon rind salad that was unusually good. a procession came thru around 8pm with a drummer and some singing/chanting. the kids thought that was cool but a little scary.
afterwards we walked down by the pools and found the spot where you can look thru nightvision goggles to find animals on the savannah. we saw a wildebeast, a giraffe an a zebra. but honestly, it was easier to find them without the goggles. so, that was kind of a let-down. but a neat idea. the kids played on the playground for a bit and then we headed back to the hotel. a great day full of firsts. and we were all excited for tomorrow and the magic kingdom!
