Busch Gardens

Kylie is going to Illinois for a few weeks so we decided to have a sleepover at our house with Haylee and go to Busch Gardens. We originally were going to have them spend the night on Friday too and go to Busch Gardens on Saturday but the weather wasn't cooperating so we moved it to Sunday.

When we woke up on Sunday the weather wasn't looking too hot. It was sprinkling but Williamsburg showed it was suppose to be clear by noon so we decided to go ahead with our plans.

We hit some traffic on 64 so it took a little longer to get there than it normally does.

we have finally arrived

We hit Italy first so the girls could ride some rides and Jeff wanted to ride Apollo's Chariot. On the way to Italy, we passed Escape from Pompeii. Kylie loves that ride so Jeff and her rode it while Haylee and I went to get her some sunglasses. Mommy forgot to pack her some sunglasses or a hat and she needed some.

After Italy we went to Oktoberfest, the girls wanted to ride the big swings and it was getting close to lunch. While the girls were suppose to ride the big swings, Jeff went on the Verbolten. The Verbolten is a pretty new ride and it's always packed. Unfortunately, the girls were turned away on the big swings, they needed an adult to go with them. Kylie wasn't happy about that. Haylee went and rode the little swings while we waited for Jeff. After Jeff got back we all went on the big swings. Both Jeff and I don't like the swings as it makes us feel sick to our stomach, the swings go up and down. This time though we didn't do too bad since we hadn't eaten.

After the swings we went and had lunch at Das Festhaus and watched the show, Entwined. Jeff lost his hat on Verbolten so we had to get him a new hat after lunch. We then went to Land of the Dragons in Germany so the girls could play for a while.

Then we decided to take the tram over to Sesame Street Forest of Fun instead of walking. It's normally a pain to break down the strollers when we have all the kids so we don't usually ride the tram or train. Before we rode the tram though it was time for an ice cream break.

The girls rode the roller coaster in Sesame Street before they decided to play in the water. I thought the water might be a little cool since it had been raining yesterday and that morning but the girls said no it was fine.

They ended up not playing long in the water. By now it was close to 5:00 and we decided to ride the train since we didn't have any strollers. The train would be our last ride of the day. While on the train we saw some deer.

Kylie was about ready to fall asleep on the train. It was so nice and relaxing. Since the train depot is in Scotland we decided to stop by and pet the Clydesdale in Scotland.

On the way out the gate we stopped for drinks and a little snack for the road.

We had a nice day visiting the park.
