So here I sit in our hotel room at Kidani Village, one of the fabulous resorts at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Our trip started a few days ago at Aunt Cindy and Uncle Kip's home. To say they were gracious hosts is quite the understatement! They welcomed our family into their home and treated our kids like their own. While at their house, we enjoyed swimming in their pool, catching frogs/lizards, and going on a alligator hunt! We got to see two baby gators and their momma! Kiara had a great time catching little lizards and a tiny tree frog! Cavan has become quite the fish...he spent the entire day splashing around either in the pool or hot tub. And then there's Miss Fi, she had a great time as well, she made herself at home running through the house, playing with the dog, and just winning the hearts of all with her gorgeous little smile. Cindy and Kip invited the cousins over to join us on Saturday for a Memorial Day cookout - you should have seen the spread - there was soo much food and it was all soo good! I'm sure Shawn T.(from Insanity) would not have approved of Brian and I's choices - but hey - we are on vacation! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked...so we were very fortunate to spend the afternoon/evening with Ryan, Caroline, and Molly(their new spaniel); Cindy, Kip, and Kyla(their golden); Matt and Erin with their 3 kids Peyton, Colin, and Avery; Kevin and Sam and their little girl Kelsey; Brian and Kelly, MaryBeth and Bella(her dog...can't remember what kind!) and two of Cindy and Kip's friends...unfortunately I can't remember their names. We enjoyed a lazy morning this morning and enjoyed having time to visit while Cavan and Kiara swam. We finally got on the road to head to Disney around 2pm. When we got to Kidani Village, we unpacked, took pictures of the animals(zebras, giraffes, etc.), and then we went swimming. We ended up ordering "room service" from the pool, ate pool side and watched the movie The Rescuers under the stars. Kiara swam during much of the movie...she's our other little fish! So...that's it for now. Hopefully I'll be able to post pics soon :) We have a busy week ahead of us....you know full of lounging by the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, maybe a little shopping downtown Disney, etc. The week has started off so great...I don't see how it can get any better :D I hope it will go by very slowly!
