Busch Gardens Vacation

Last week was vacation week #1 this year. We took off for VA Friday and came back the Thursday before the 4th. We had some friends we wanted to get together with at Busch Gardens but they couldn't go the same day and we ended up going 3 times (never again, that's just too much) . Sunday, Just me, Bridget, Mahala and Keri went while mom kept the baby. That was fun. We got ride everything a bunch of times and we finally got Bridget on the Griffon (which she didn't really want to ride at first). Poor Keri can't ride it yet but she can't wait. She probably has a couple more years. Look at that drop!! It's not as bad as it looks though.




Bridget loved it of course! She couldn't ride anything last year cause of the prego thing, but we made up for that Sunday. Keri was about a 1/4" to small to ride Apollo's Chariot. That was disappointing for her but we rode the Loch Ness Monster and Big Bad Wolf with her a bunch of times. Those are still great coasters.

Monday we were supposed to go with Stephanie and Claudia but Stephanie (one of Bridget's best friends) couldn't go so we ended up with Claudia (one of Mahala's best firends) while Keri stayed at Mom's and played with a friend she had met the day before.




Wednesday we went with my best bud Roy, his wife Amber and their cute as a button daughter Allyson. We ate lunch with the Sesame Street characters which was great.

Yes I realize I cut off Big Bird's head. And he/she it was sitting down too. Oh well, I guess I should have bought the $20 picture Busch Gardens took..... NOT!



They had a ball in the new Sesame Street area also. That is a pretty cool kids section. Lots of cool rides and a water play area.



Alex also got on ride her first ride ever with da momma. She didn't seem to give a crap about it one way or another, even though she looks like she's having fun in the picture.



Geez Amber. Are you that boring that even the baby has to let you know??!?!
We love you Amber! :)


Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The kids got their faces painted.




Mahala and Keri stayed in Virginia an extra week and went to Deltaville with their grandparents. They had fun at first but after a few days were calling ready to come home. I think they got a little bored. Dad did take them out on the boat and both of them loved that of course.


Bridget wen tback to pick the kids up Wed so I had the house to myself for 2 days and all I did was work out in the garage trying to organize it. No parties, no beer.... I must be getting old I guess.... And she brought back 3 Anchor Room pizzas!!! That was awesome. Hadn't had one of those in a loing time! Ok that's it. Oh almost.. Baby Alex can now go from laying on her stomach to sitting up like it's nothing. That's pretty cool. Cya!!
