Tuesday - Busch Gardens

On Tuesday, earlier than I ever usually see, we got up and went with the Phillips to Busch Gardens. We had such a great time. I was amazed at how well the kids did all day and night. I'm sure there would be many more pictures, but I was the designated adult to ride the roller coasters, upside down, spin around, etc. kind of rides. I spent much more time screaming than snapping pics.

Sofia and Reece had a ball riding the kiddie rides together.Here is Austin waiting for a water ride to fly past him and soak him, again.
Reece loved doing the 'kiddie' roller coaster.


Even lunch was entertaining and the kids joined the professional dancers for some songs.
It was pretty dark, but this is a picture of the band going up towards the ceiling while there were dancers underneath them. I told Martha we needed one of these at Providence.
Certainly one of the highlights was going to visit the bird exhibit. I had one on my head also, but didn't look as happy as Lindsey.


Lily was the Roller Coaster Queen. I road this one with her. Wow....it's been awhile since I have done these. Lindsey tried a big roller coaster as well. There were different rides where Lindsey had to tell Martha and myself that God was with us. Gotta love this girl's faith and we Mom's were on some rides where we did need to hear that.

When we got home Reece looked at the clock and said with BIG eyes: "Mom, it's already tomorrow!" Oh......boy did Martha and I know that. It was a full and fabulously fun day. My highlight was talking with Martha there and back. Great girlfriend time! :) Thanks so much, Martha, for treating us to such a wonderful day!!!
