Busch Gardens

Grandma and Papa let us come along on their day trip to Busch Gardens. The rented scooter came in handy for one and all! Octoberfest, standing in Italian wine buckets (Mama has a picture of her doing this at about 5 years old!), rides in the sky, by train and while being buckled down, beautiful flowers...and the new Elmo section were all enjoyed. We've now taken the kids to an amusement park each of the last three summers! We hope to get back to BG this summer as Grandma and Mom have season passes and the kids all get in free (since they are 5 and under - whoo hoo!). Daddy took one for the team, riding all the rides with the kids except one (Mama got to take Caroline on a spin in dinosaurs!). Mama also LOVES the swings so she rode on that and luckily (a) fit in the chair w/harness down, (b) didn't fall ill after all that round and round and swooping, and (c) refrained from going into labor.

The first picture is of Caleigh on the train from the car to the park - umm...a bit excited! Zach most loved the rides he and Caleigh could do themselves - the first was in the dragon boat. The close ups of Zach and Caleigh are when they first came off the (best ever!) roller coaster - relieved and delighted (you can tell which is which). Love love love these pictures of the girls in front of flowers. Such hams and in such good spirits!
