Our wild African Safari took us through several different settings. All of which Stella and John shot on the Flip Video cameras. Watching them shoot, I am sure the pictures will be every bit as bumpy as our ride.

The big mobs have arrived. While we’ve enjoyed a relatively light crowd most of the week, school letting out has pushed masses into the parks. So glad we covered so much ground early in the trip.

“Last film before safari” reads the sign. That’s the safari entrance in the background. 300 feet and no chance to spend money? How on earth did this get overlooked?

Yes, the food at Disney can be pricey. But, no more so than any other such place–with the exception of table service places where dinner runs $250+ for the five of us. And, that’s without alcohol. So, we beat the system each day by carrying snacks. Today we finished the last of them. So, the drive in tomorrow will include a brief shopping stop. Otherwise, we will blow the budget and waste time in long lines our last day.

I warned them, but they went anyway… It is about 65 degrees, the sun is largely obscured by vegitation, and there is a gentle 5 MPHwind blowing. And yet, these three didn’t see a problem with getting wet first thing in the morning. Okay, it sure looked like fun. But, really… Remember when YOU were a bullet-proof teen? We were both right: they were cold, but they had a blast.
