McGann Life: Favorite Virginia pics

I decided to post some of my favorite pictures from my recent trip:) I had sooooo many, so I made the video in the previous post. I was in Virginia with the kids for four days. I traveled the whole way in one day and then stopped at my friend, Christie's, on the way back. It just added an hour of extra drive time, but then I only had 8 hours the next day. The hardest part for me (with traveling) was listening to Mercy cry:( and also the stops with all three. It's easier now that Aedan is potty trained, but also can be more difficult at times. (If you have toddlers or a good memory....you know what I'm talking about.) My mom and I pushed the kids like crazy...we kept them on the go!!!! The first day we went to Blue Bird Gap Farm, a military airplane/rocket area in Hampton, McDonald's, and Buckroe Beach! The kids were so excited to hear that we were going to a beach! Their enthusiasm surprised me! They had a blast and loved every minute of it. We ventured to Busch Gardens the second day. The kids did FABULOUS! Again, we just kept going and going. They loved the rides...from Land of the Dragons, the Merry-go-round, the train ride, the pet show, the balloons, gliders, Sesame World, and the amazingly fast elephant ride...they loved it all...even the rats!:) Mercy also did wonderfully...she sat in her stroller most of the time...I'm assuming she was entertained. (Also, she seems to like being outside.) We were there 8 hours!! WOW!!

Mom and the boys at Blue Bird Gap Farm. Yes, the steroid cow was present...a sad looking deer, and a llama "asleep" in a pin:)
