Day one Paul is up, dressed, and ready to go when it is still dark. We get to the hotel bus station by 740am.We decided to go to Disney's Animal Kingdom. We went to many attractions, my favorite, The Festival of the Lion King, beautiful costumes, dancing and singing. the trapeze artists were great too. Paul and I went to see "It's Tough to be a bug show 3D show". Not his most favorite attraction. The bugs were flying right at him and it kind of freaked him out.
Going into "It's Tough to Be a Bug" he is all smiles as he put on the goofy glasses.
We ventured into Dinoland and Paul won lots of prizes at the carnival style games. He won a bear and then a seahorse, later we went back and he won a brightly colored bat . He then traded up with his wins for a large green snake, and traded the seahorse up for a Shark. Tim and Paul had made a deal that he could only bring one home on the plane, so we told him he might want to give the others away. 
At the Mickey's Jamm'in Jungle Parade at the end of the day he gave the Bat to a boy about 4 years old. I think giving it away made him happier than the little boy. Then he gave the shark to the little boy's older sister. He came back and told Tim, "I just made two kids really happy."
The safari was our most memorable ride. We spent about an hour on it because one of the animals and her baby decided to rest in the middle of the road about three jeeps ahead of us. So while waiting we took a lot of pictures and visited with the others on the jeep ride. We were not allowed to get off, we just sat and watched the elephants.
Expedition Everest was a great roller coaster. This train zipped through the mountain and brought on a ton of screaming. Paul just held on tight to my arm. 
Then we were off to the Kali River rapids. Picture a large inner tube with about 10 seats on it. Yes I took ponchos for all. We not only rode this ride once, we rode it three times in a row. After the first time Paul refused the poncho, preferring to get soaked and soaked is just what he got. Sorry, no pictures... I had wrapped up the camera in a Ziploc and did not get it out for a while.
Though Paul was a few inches too short for many of the attractions we had a wonderful day.
Around 5pm we headed to Downtown Disney to meet Aunt Ellen, John, Becky and her friend Liam for dinner, where else but the T-REX restaurant .
It was outside of this restaurant that we discovered Paul had been wearing his jeans backwards all day. Tomorrow we will not get dressed in the dark.
The Trex burger was as big as Liam's head. I am not saying you have a big noggin or anything Liam, but see for yourself.
Sorry the picture is a little blurry. I think I was laughing too hard to hold the camera still.
