Family Fun at Busch Gardens

This past weekend my parents, Daniel, the girls, and I packed up and headed to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for the day.  My parents hadn't been since a couple weekends after their wedding – 35 years go! Daniel and I hadn't been since our senior years in high school, and the girls had never been. So, it was due! The weather was perfect – not too hot, but not too cold either.  When we got there, we went straight to the Forest of Fun – which is a section for little kids.  The girls enjoyed one of the rides and running through a little play area.

 

 

We walked the entire park, a few times.  We stopped for lunch in France and then rode the train, hoping that Hayden would take a nap. It wasn't successful. She went the entire day with no nap! 

Hadleigh rode the teacups with everyone except Hayden and I – she loved it J Daniel and I were even able to sneak away to ride 2 roller coasters – Verbolten & Griffon – both of which were intense! I think Verbolten took the prize between the two.

 

We also saw the animals and even got to see 2 shows they had that day.  The first one was an animal show and it was really cute.  Basically it was just several animals that they had rescued showing off their tricks. We all really enjoyed it.  The second show was not anything what we thought it was going to be.  There was a huge dinosaur on stage and it was called “Dig it up”, so we were expecting a dinosaur show.  It ended up being singing and dancing throughout history – starting at the cavemen.  It was just OK.

 
We ended the day with some pretzels and ice cream before leaving.  Hayden fell right to sleep in the car, but Hadleigh held strong! We might think about getting passes next year J
