Amazing day!

Yesterday, we went to Busch Gardens for the first time as a family. Actually, Mike and I had never been together either! Our good friends, the McHenrys, went with us and we couldn't have had a better day. The weather was absolutely beautiful and there were no lines at all! It was awesome! I didn't know how Josiah would do, but he LOVED LOVED LOVED it!

We started out at the Sesame Street kids area where I took him over to the Grover roller coaster. Before we could think twice about it, we were strapped in and racing around the track! It was actually really fast! He was definitely scared but not too much.. He said it was his favorite ride all day! Then he rode every kiddie ride in the park and was totally enamored with it! No fear! He took a little power nap in the stroller and then was ready for more. Check out the picture of "prince Elmo's spire" - that's Josiah right next to Mike... I can't believe he is big enough to be on there!! He was really excited about the bumper cars too although they ended up being a little harder to steer. He'll figure it out with a little practice!

Since Stephanie is 32 weeks pregnant, and couldn't ride much other than the sky ride, she was great about hanging with Josiah and Abigail every once in a while so Mike, Stephen and I could ride some roller coasters. I couldn't believe how much we got to do in a short time because there were no lines! Their 21 month old, Abigail, had a blast too. She loved riding some things with Josiah and was such a happy girl all day even though she never did take a nap!

It was just such a great day and we are excited to go back again soon. Josiah really wants to try the log flume and teacups next time! :)
