Busch Gardens

Finally, the Busch Gardens post!  I think I procrastinate this post because I have so many videos, and I know it will be time consuming.  But, I am behind enough, so here goes!  After two rainy days in Newport News, we were all prepared for more rain on Friday.  The weather forecast called for rain off and on all day.  We had decorated ponchos, but never had to use them.  The weather was perfect and with the threat of rain, the crowds were down.  The kids road ride after ride, and some rides they just stayed on for the next ride.  It was so fun!  We saw two shows: Pet Shenanigans and also the Wolf show.  The park was definitely more creeped out for Hallo-scream.  We left just after 6:00 because the common areas of the park were really scary.  Too scary for the kids.  Glad we were in England at 6:00 and were able to escape easily!

The Forest of Fun had some of their favorite rides!

Josiah rode the flying machine.  Last time I rode this (about 10 years ago) I felt soooooo sick!  He was on his own! hahaha

Josiah rode this one!  The Verbolten.  I wished he would've rode the Loch-ness.  I rode the Apollos Chariot and the Loch-ness.  For both rides, I literally walked right up and got on the ride.  It was awesome!

Glad he rode it!  Was a little scray for him, but he did it!

Land of the Dragons ride

Love this one!

and this one!

Aedan, Mercy, and I rode the egg together.  Josiah was running around the big tree house while we rode. 

the fox!

My amazing wolf shot!

The big pumpkin

This one is one of their favorites!  It goes up and down!  And, I love that Mercy is big enough to ride!

The kids also liked this one!  I rode it once with them, but it made me feel a little sicky!  There was another roller coaster in the Elmo area: a Grover coaster.  Aedan wasn't a fan, but Mercy, Josiah, and I rode it four times!  hahaha!  No pics because I had to ride with Mercy for her to ride!  She was just tall enough, and she said it was her favorite ride!

Aedan and I

And now for the numerous videos:

The elephant run ride!  The kids love this one.  Mercy rode, too, but I could only handle riding it once!

Here is Josiah on the coaster:
