Busch Gardens!

We took Gracie on her first (of many, for sure) amusement park trips this weekend- to Busch Gardens!  We left early on Sunday morning and arrived around 11:00.  The place was packed.  Usually, Sunday mornings are a good time to go, but evidently this is not the case on Memorial Day weekend.  Still, we had a great time, even though all we rode was kiddie rides.  Poor Trish went with us and I'm not sure she realized what she was getting herself into.

Randy, Trish and Gracie rode Oscar's Squirmy Worms (or something like that) in the new Sesame Street area:

Gracie played in the forest playground:

Here's Elmo!

Gracie and I rode this:

Gracie and I also rode the Dinosaur Egg ride:

And here's a gratuitous cute pic:

She also had a great time in this little water playground and watching the Pet Shenanigans show.  We're sure she's destined to be a coaster freak, too- as soon as we drove up she was fascinated with Apollo's Chariot.  She said "Wow" over and over again as we watched it go.

We were so tired when we got home and are still getting caught up on rest.  But it was worth it!
