ONE MORE TIME!

We decided to head to Busch Gardens ONE MORE TIME last Saturday!! And we were so glad that we did! It was a little warm, but NOTHING like the heat and humidity of our last trip! Traffic was Great! We even stopped in Richmond on the way to get birth certificates for the girls and we arrived at Busch Gardens the earliest ever this whole summer!
We were ready for a fun-filled day! And fun-filled it was:) We wanted to make sure we got to do all of our favorite things from the season ONE MORE TIME! We rode rides (well mainly Micah and the girls rode and I watched from the ground, but next season I will be excited to hit a roller coaster again....I think!), we ate yummy food, we saw some great shows, we laughed, we cried, we talked, we walked and we took LOTS of pictures!! It was a really great day and I am so thankful that we went and I am even more thankful for our season passes that Micah got us for my birthday this year! In my opinion, an amusement park is the perfect vacation plan with little kids.....leave early, hit the pavement all day long, pile back in the car to head home and then sleep in your own beds!! Saturday was a Great End to a Great Summer at Busch Gardens!!! And now for the pictures.......


1st photo of the day!!! Man, do we LOVE Hot Air Balloons, even statues!!



3 of my favorite people in the WHOLE world!

Another thing that makes Busch Gardens so unique is all of the beautiful scenery and landscaping!


Haley taking a moment to relax and catch up on all that Busch Gardens has to offer!


This Hot Air Balloon ride was so fun for them (in spite of the looks on their faces in this picture!)


Our Resident Smiler of the Day!


Our Resident "Concerned" Family Member of the Day! (With her matching yellow band aids!)


She was also quite the brave one!! She went right on out during the "Oktoberfest" Show and did her best to participate in the Chicken Dance!! We knew she was brave, we just didn't know she was THIS brave yet!! So proud of our little Haley Boo branching out!


The dancer thought she was adorable and hilarious, both of which she DEFINITELY was!!


There she goes!



Me and Emily and "Bear the Photographer!"


The girls were learning to pat the little "hot dog dog" named Sausage right after the "More Pet Shenanigans" Show!


Didn't take them long to get the hang of it!

Haley and Daddy were settling in right beside us for some good times too!

After the rides in Land of the Dragons, they found these rocks and decided to sit down and be silly, so we Grabbed our camera!
