Busch Gardens

This past Friday Ben took off work and we headed to Busch Gardens for the afternoon.  Sort of a celebration of the end of Madelyn's preschool year, and a day to have fun before we get down to moving and all the hassles associated with that.  We've been a few times this year and I know we'll go plenty more.  The girls love the Sesame Street area and seeing all their favorite characters.  We packed up lunch to eat when we got there, had plenty of snacks - but still ended up spending at least $50 on food and drinks.  I admit some of that was so Mommy and Daddy could enjoy a nice cold adult beverage!  Yes...Ben and I each had one beer, and we got one bottle of Gatorade for Madelyn - TWENTY dollars!!  But it was worth it - she was fascinated by her "blue juice" since that was a special treat for her - and we enjoyed our drinks while she was quiet with hers!!  HA  Emily loves to watch all the people, she can't really ride anything yet - but she loves to be pushed in the stroller and see all the different faces.  Not 5 minutes after we left for home, the girls were passed out in their seats.  It was a great day!!
