stefa70 205 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 We're still in AK and we've reached the colobus monkey village. It may have a proper name, but I have no idea what that is.The black one was young and drove the two tan ones crazy!As if they weren't fun enough to watch, I have the boys behind me saying:"Siiiidddd, this is your conscience....."If you didn't watch the video, you won't get the joke.They're daring little suckers!Time to move on...we have a safari to catch.The line for the safari was non-existent. As long as it took us to walk to the jeeps.We had an awesome safari! Great guide with perfect views of a lot of animals. AND front row seats!Rhino RearWhen we got to the elephants, our guide explained how aggressive the males are so they only come around when they "need" to.I mumbled (or thought I did) "Typical"He laughed and said "yeah....well?"

stefa70 205 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Surprisingly, the lions were sleeping. :)But a cheetah was up!The new zebrasAnd we're back.While I have some really cute pics coming up, let's admit that not every animal is "cute"Like fish. Ho-humOr naked mole rats. EwwwDefinitely not wart hogs.But, they're interesting and someone may dig those types of things.I'm more of a gorilla girl.I :heart: them!I may have taken MANY pictures, especially of the young 'un, but I will spare you all of them.MamaDad at the top left, baby in the middle and Mama's rear view.The boys made me leave the gorillas and Trevor knew I was happy.I WAS happy, but I hadn't forgotten about Boo.We took the boys on the train just so Jordan could see the animal enclosures. We didn't get off, we just rode it back.We danced in the street for a few minutes before we hightailed it out so we wouldn't be late for dinner.There was a lonely photo pass lady standing by the Christmas tree, so we stopped for a family shot.We rode the tram to the parking lot just for Jordan to experience a tram. Coming up, dinner with friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Really fantastic animal shots! I could watch the gorillas all day too. We were there not long after the wee baby was born a few years ago. It's cool to come back each year and see how much she's grown.And hey, I happen to dig the warthogs.

stefa70 205 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 StnkNBoo -and I am loving this trip.Thanks Nik! I loved it too. One of the best trips ever.Really fantastic animal shots!I could watch the gorillas all day too. We were there not long after the wee baby was born a few years ago. It's cool to come back each year and see how much she's grown.And hey, I happen to dig the warthogs. See, I knew someone would like my warthog. If only he was as active as Pumba. I loved BOO in the movie. We used to say "kitty" for no reason for months after watching it. Did you get your doll?I still say "Kitty!"In fact, Trevor says Donnie and I should go to MNSSHP dressed as Boo & Kitty. :hah:Since Steph is Boo sized I think Steph needs Boo.Oddly enough, I just happened to have a pink shirt on. If I wore pigtails instead of a ponytail, the resemblance would be freaky. Um your chocolate covered banana comments made me snarf my throwback mountain dew into my nose.I think I need to get Boo for DD. i did not know they made a Boo doll either.Buy a Boo!! She is so cute! When you hear hear squeal and giggle, you can't help but smile. (Well, the boys don't think she's as cute. More on that soon)All caught up!Great photos of the AK critters!Looking forward to how dinner goes. I wonder if Donnie ends up in a headlock?TCDThanks! We hit it just right on the safari.No headlocks. I think I may have bit him once or twice though.He actually was a sweetie one night when I was stressed to the max. He picked me up and rocked me like a baby, which I had to laugh at. Update coming.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 After our day at AK, I came back to a very sweet, cute visitor...Chloe!Oh, and Donnie too. He's cute and can be sweet when he wants to be. We had to run up to the front for a minute. Here's the 3 stooges boys doing whatever we came up there for. Our ressies for Cape May were at 5:20. So after taking Chloe to play with Lil B while we were gone, we hopped in the truck.I told the boys:"if I had my father in the truck with us, I would be surrounded by my most favorite males" Hubby, kids and my best male friend. Definitely, a "life is good" moment. We grabbed our plates and went to town on the buffet. Sorry this is my first plate and I forgot to take any more pics. My next plate had crab legs! The food was delicious and I wished I had taken more pictures. I was seated next to Donnie and across from this beauty.It's hard to eat, laugh and take photos!Beach Club at night.Right before we went to dinner, I had gotten a text from FP4, aka Cyndee that she was heading down to party for the night. I told her to let me know when she got there.When dinner ended, Donnie had to head back to Jax. Don't worry, he came back the next day!After dinner, we all relaxed at my site. I still hadn't heard from Cyndee. I know she's a busy Mom, so I thought maybe something had come up.We all decided to do some night looping. At the entrance to the 500 loop, Cyndee drove up!We did some pick up/drop offs at her site with her truck and almost dead cart. We then piled into mine, Genia's and Donnie's (which Nate was using) and drove around.The boys wanted a pic of this RV even though it was dark. I went back the next day to catch it in the day and it was gone. After very little looping...it was chilly on the cart, we went back to our site.Genia got down in Trevor's chair and I thought I may have to call Reedy Creek FD to get her out! :rofl2:Jason showed up after his solo evening.Then Nate tried to turn the camera on me!It was a great night with old friends and new friends!Jordan and Nate gave Cyndee a ride back to her site in the 2000 loop and we got ready for bed.Remember, Genia had my boys at her site. She texted me 2 photos and a video of them wrestling. (I warned her they were nuts!)Here is Jordan in his "ranger panties"And in a thinker pose.Tomorrow, the boys get some company and Trevor and I do some exploring....and waiting.

stefa70 205 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 The best laid plans are meant to be changed.Jordan & Nate's close friends knew about his surprise party. They wanted to come down so bad! Unfortunately (or in todays times, fortunately) they all have jobs and couldn't work it out.The only day they could all get off of work was Friday, so of course, I said come on down!The friends arrived around 9:00 am. Here is Jordan, Nate, Karissa, Kelsey and Colton. Colton and Nate have grown up together and his parents are DVC members. He has camped with us numerous times.The girls were new to this picture thing but Nate quickly informed them just to smile and get it over with, because I would take them regardless!This is what happens when they try to hide. ^-^Neither of the girls had been to WDW, so Nate took them looping and resort hopping.Now that the kids were off, our plan was to tire Mason out and go to MK for a couple hours.I put some chicken breasts and sauce in the crock pot for dinner, and off we went.We started with a cart ride.Through the 1600-1900 loops.And even found site 905 empty! It looks like Camping World is getting ready to replace their trailer.I sent the pic to Chris/Jen in case they wanted to change the pic in the site app now that it was empty.Then switched to a walk.It was sunny and 82 degrees! We had beautiful weather the whole week! We headed back behind the 300 loop along the canal.So peaceful and beautiful, until you walk further down. ICK.It looks even worse when you zoom in. Not Fort-like or Wildernessy!Since we were all alone, Mason got his leash taken off and was one happy pup! (Anyone who has spent time at my site knows that Mason does not leave our side, no worries)When I sat down on the canal bank, Mason joined me and Trev got a couple cute pics.Just chillin.Looking to the left, it's still Fort-like and WildernessyWe continued to the end of the dog walk and checked out the old hunk of concrete that was once part of the RR.While Mason stood guard. Trev was feeling his photography skills so he gave it another shot. (Sorry about the boobies! V-neck shirt, squatting = boobies.)It's no wonder he took 46 shots. J/K!We turned the corner and walked behind the dog park.For all my poop humor loving readers. Deer poop!I then got Mason & Trevor sitting on a log.We emerged out of the woods, with Mason satisfied.I still enjoy seeing the natural parts of the Fort. Just think, this was all swamp land at one time. Now they're building high rises! ICK!So now we can go to the MK, right?!Here's our dilemma...Donnie is about an hour away. Nate has his cart. Judy had taken Lil B out for lunch. Tina was off on a cruise.....Trevor didn't want to leave Donnie hanging as he hadn't even set up his camper yet. So, we'll wait!(Pretty clever way for Trevor to get out of going to a park. He used my soft spot for Donnie to avoid MK!)We'll check out some Fort scenery when I return............One last thing. My Dad, who lives upstate NY, loves to read about our trips. Today is his birthday.My dad, Rick, on the right. His BF, Harvey on the left.HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY-O!!! :heart: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
