Building our Disney stamina

The week before we left for Disney, big guy and I did some endurance trips to build up our walking and other kinds of stamina!  It was a genius move, if I do say so myself.  Not only did we get a lot of exercise, we also had fun and learned a lot, too!  We left for Disney on a Tuesday, so the week before we went to the academy of Natural sciences (tuesday), the zoo (thursday), pool (friday), and back to the zoo on saturday.  

At the academy of natural sciences, we walked a lot, saw cool animals, like this moth that had an 8 inch wingspan, and explored the natural world. 

At the playground later that day.  We worked on running around like crazy people, burning energy, and perfected asking mommmy for "two minutes" of more play time! 

We went out to eat, lord knows we weren't going to eat anything good in Disney, so we went and had a junky meal at the Cracker Barrel.  We did like the rocking chairs and giant chess board though. Worked on acting like a human being in a restaurant. 

 Following our first exhausting trip to the zoo, we napped.  I thought this was a cute picture because not only did big guy refuse to let go of the peacock feather, one of the cats also liked it!

Second zoo trip with hubs.  We went on a carousel ride.  Good practice for waiting in line and going in a nauseating circle for a while.

We discovered new animals.  Big guy discovered a whole group of animals during our trip, his favorite being the river otters.  We stood here for over an hour.  Good practice with patience and standing for that long!

We ate a soft pretzel.  Practicing eating stuff that is tasty but has no nutritional value!
