Over the years Mike and I have had a couple of matching sweatshirts, but I draw the line at co-ordinating rompers!What's next? His and hers matching rompers?

Sounds like a great day. Good choice on Pecos Bills.

Wow!We went out to Myakka Sate Park this morning while it was relatively cool. I know I've mentioned how dry everyeen, but here's a few contrasting pictures to show the difference:

It's mating season for the gators so it was kind of neat to see the males trying to impress the females. They raise their head and a lot of their body out of the water, then slap the water with their heads. They were growling at each other too, which was pretty cool.

I'm still holding out hope that the dinos stay right where they are. If not, I agree they would be a great addition to the railroad.

After we dropped my grandniece off at preschool this morning we decided we should check on the eaglets. There are 2 nests that we've been keeping a close eye on since we got here. One of them is right across the street from a small pond/river-ish thing. This pair of eaglets has been flying lately - we've seen them perched in nearby trees the past couple of times we've been over there, and the other night we actually saw them fly back to their nest. it was pretty awesome to see.
Anyway this morning the had flown to a bridge across the street.
The parents are teaching them to find food for themselves, using a little tough love. They're hungry, and you can hear them call the adults, but the adult just keeps watch from a nearby tree, and once the eaglets are hungry enough they'll learn to fish and forage for themselves.
They flew down to the shore, had a little skirmish, then flew back up to the bridge while we watched.
They'll be leaving soon, but so will we. It's been awesome watching these 2 - they were just hatching when we were here in January.

From that nest we went over to our favorite pair, but stopped to check in on the Sand Hill Crane we saw nesting the other day. Her egg hasn't hatched yet, but she takes meticulous care of her nest:
Our favorite nest is just across the street - the eaglets there haven't flown yet as far as we know, but they like to perch on the edge of the nest to watch for the adults. The stupid crows were there annoying them again today. I'm guessing that the eaglets will have the last laugh on that one!

This question is for @Andrew C and anyone who has done the Wild Africa Trek.
We are looking at 9/11, as that is our DAK "day". Tours are at the following times:
I have DHS scheduled for the second half of the day, with 50's Sci Fi booked for 7:00.
Now for the questions part - what time would you recommend? I'd like to ride both Pandora attractions that day. I'll do FoP as FP+, and the boat ride as standby. Should we do these before the trek, or after? How filling is the "breakfast" or "lunch" provided? Do you eat more toward the beginning, the end, or right smack in the middle?
Thank you for any input.
