We had a great time at Busch Gardens... again. We decided at the last minute to come back to Virginia this week (even though it seems like we just left). It was a last minute decision. This time we decided to ride everything as many times as possible.... and we did. It was great. We spent a lot of time before we came looking for Keri some new shoes and inserts because last time she was about 1/8" too short to ride the Apollo's Chariot roller coaster. That killed her. So she got new shoes and new socks and some new inserts and when we got there this time she was about 1/32" too short to get an arm band. Again, it killed that she couldn't ride. We told her to rip it off and we'd try at the coaster.
Well, we got there and nobody measured her and she got to ride 3 times. And before anyone tells me that the measurements are there for a reason and BLAH BLAH BLAH... save it. I don't care. That ride holds you in so good she was never in any danger and when she's 1/3" taller she not going to be any bigger really. So anyway she rode it 3 times then and one more time at the end and she was, of course, the happiest kid in the world because she finally got to ride a BIG roller coaster! The Loch Ness Monster and Big Bad Wolf just aren't big enough for her anymore I guess.
We met my friends Roy and Amber and their daughter Allyson there early and later Our friends March and Stephanie and there kids Claudia, Trey, and Ross. It was a great time and everyone actually got to go on the same day. Plus there was no one there so there was no line anywhere.
Baby Alex got to get in mom's pool also. The water was a little chilly from it being covered up. She didn't know exactly what to think about it. Keri now can jump in any part of the pool with no floats or anything. She doesn't care anymore and she is swimming pretty good. Stephanie and their kids came over to swim with us. Mahala and Claudia and Trey attacked me most of the time. That was fun. even though they just about killed me.
We spent more money than I wanted to here in VA (I'm still at mom's as I write this). We are putting up a LOT of auctions to have money to go to the beach in a few weeks and we spent some of it here. I guess I need to get on the ball on list some more. I am thinking of listing one of the kids. Can't figure out which on is the most annoying. It's a very close race in that respect. I Can't imagine anyone bidding much for the pleasure of having to put up with their crap either so maybe that's a bad idea....
Fast Forward...
Ok Now it's like 2 weeks later and I haven't posted this yet. We are getting ready for a Myrtle Beach trip which will include going to the former Hard Rock Park. It was re-opened by another company and the tickets, which were $50 each, are now 2 for $20 so that's a plus. The have a really cool coaster I can't wait to ride again.
We also had a yard sale today to get a little extra money for our trip. It went fine but it reminded how much I HATE having yard sales. It amazes me that there are so many every weekend. People are gluttons for punishment I guess. Mahala is really starting to act like a teenager... which means I am THIS CLOSE TO FREAKING KILLNG HER... The next next few years are going to be so much fun. I wish you all could be here to witness the fun...
Here are some pics and stuff...
