Busch Gardens

Levi is here too, just hiding behind the logo. 

You enter Busch Gardens in England with the globe theater and medival music and each region is a different old world country with themed buildings, rides and music. It was terrific!

Getting measured for rides. Each child gets a color coded wristband.

England

Hang glider ride


His face! 

Hot air baloon ride....so slow it was comical, but Isaiah was grinning!

The dread pirate, Aaron No-Beard 

Italian Festival Coffee Pot ride

Levi loved this ride, but I couldn't get a pic....he's so light that the centrifugal force slung his side to side the whole time.

A ride for them all....love my babies!

Naughty again! If only they would be quiet and clean their rooms.

I want these windows.

Clydesdales in Scotland



Isaiah's eye got sooo big when he saw this train coming. 

Rebecca and Daddy went upside down 3 times on the loch ness monster. Rebecca refused to ride again. LOL

Stables in Scotland


The park is so beautiful!



Ireland!!!

The cutest pet show.

France

More France...nomally without the black flags. The park was decorated for Halloween, which actually detracted from the buildings. I'm sure its even more beautiful in other seasons.

Riding the train.


Oops Levi hit the fence.

Oops Isaiah hit the fence.

Oops Rebecca hit the fence

Oops Daddy hit the fence.

Sheer joy!

Kiddie rides in Dragon Land


Flying Dragons....again with the happy face.


Playground in Dragon Land

Its the Red Barons



Toddler size bumper cars...oh yeah!



The boats were done for the season, but usually they cruise the 'Rhine river". 

Virginia Trip

My blog is losing all sense of organization. Things are getting put in random order and whatnot, but here is more from our fall getaway....

Colonial Williamsburg Visitor center has two huge gift shops.

The porch of the Yankee Candle Company

More of the porch....this is the largest Yankee Candle Factory store outside of their headquarters in Deerfield, MA

Inside the Christmas area at Yankee....there was light-post, reminiscent of Narnia, where 'snow' falls every 5 minutes.

Santa was there with a huge book of names, and he marked a check for each of the children, apparently they were good children who clean their rooms, eat their veggies, and obey their parents.


Its HUGE!

One of two designated children's area in Busch Gardens....there are also small kids rides sprinkled through the countries, but these two areas are great for the littles.

The seat swallows Isaiah

Isaiah is 4th from left....so little!


Warming herself....


Isaiah and Levi's first rollercoaster!!!!

It was a hit!


Nessie ride


Pompeii in 'Italy'

Oktoberfest region of the park.

Bavarian sky ride. We missed this one due to high winds on day one and long lines on day two.


Car ferry across the James River

Imagining the Jamestown settles coming up the river to the new world.

What else would you name a boat here?

Quaint homes on the other bank.



We were so packed on the boat during our return trip we couldn't open the car doors.....no problem, we have a moon roof!

After waiting a long time for lunch he finally got to eat! We crossed the river thinking we'd grab lunch on the other side, but found that it was the ferry to nowhere. LOL
