I can't believe it has been 8 yrs since our sweet Peyton came into our lives. Where does the time go? We had a fantabulous birthday bash, as a family, at Animal Kingdom! The weather was less than perfect, but the kids were so excited and happy the rain didn't matter! We ended up having a couple of rain free hours while we explored Dinoland, Asia, and Andy took the girls on the Kali River Rapids, which Eliza would have done all day if allowed. The highlight of the day was going on the African safari while it was torrentially raining. The animals were all out, well some were hiding in the trees. We saw a mommy elephant step out of her watering hole after a quick swim and two cheetahs up on a hill. Cheetahs are Peyton's favorite animal, so that was really special for her to see. My pictures are not the greatest since the lens was wet, but here are some pics from our great day. Happy Birthday Peyton, you amaze us everyday and we are so proud of you. We love you.

This guy!
The deadliest lizard, the komodo dragon. The habitat specialist was nice enough to tell us that if we ever got bitten by one of these, we're dead. There is nothing that can be done to save us. Thank you sir for that wonderful bit of knowledge.
Hey you, turn around!
Such a beautiful cat!

Sleepy Kai!
Now, he's awake!
Eliza loved this and Peyton was not so sure .

Someone was not too happy when the safari began :( He was scared and cold.
