on the swings – her favorite
I’m on day one of cleaning the house (yes, it takes me like 3 days), I have a “to do” list a mile long and James has barely recovered from traveling . . . so what do we do? We take a day off and go to Busch Gardens for a family fun day! Sometimes you just have to take a break from it all and go have some fun. We happen to have some passes that will be expiring soon . . . and with the little ones we never last long so we went just for the morning. It was a blast.
As soon as we walked into the park James ran ahead to check out Cheetah Hunt (new ride). The girls and I took our sweet time getting there checking out the awesome hippopotamus sleeping in the water with the fish and turtles. When we got there we were watching the ride and I happened to snap a picture, the ride goes so fast you can’t really see who is on it. When I got home and was looking through the pictures I saw that I actually caught James on the ride! What are the chances??! How fun!
Best part of Busch Garden Tampa Bay for toddlers is Sesame Street Safari of Fun. Awesome place to run around . . they have 2 sections of spray fountains, a variety of toddler rides, huge sand pit, bouncing trampoline thing, tree houses and of course – Elmo. What is it about Elmo? There is something about him that kids are just attracted to. I don’t even know where Adeline learned “Elmo” was but it was one of the first characters she could recognize (we barely watch Sesame Street). I suppose he is just a nice, furry, loveable kind of guy.
the star himself
Amelia went on her first ride – the “Safari go-round.” Poor thing wasn’t a big fan…isn’t that the cutest little pout ever?!
Playing in the fountains during Lunch on January 26 . . .the benefits of living in Florida during the winter. It was a beautiful day in every way.
