We found out Saturday night that Busch Gardens opened this weekend, so we decided to surprise Bryden on Sunday and take her to the park for the day. She has been asking ALL winter to go to Busch or Water Country, so we didn't tell her where we were going, we just told her to get dressed, that we had a surprise for her. Her eyes lit up and she had a huge smile when we got off the exit and she saw the roller coasters and realized where we were! AND, ever since she rode a smaller roller coaster up in Maine, she has wanted to be big enough to go on a big coaster, and guess what???? She was!!! She got to ride The Big Bad Wolf at 3 1/2 years old! Incredible! She wasn't scared at all, she really had an awesome ride, but she did say it was a little bumpy for her (it was a bit of a rough ride), so we only rode it once. We are crazy proud of her for going on and being such a big girl! I am so excited to have a roller coaster buddy now! Daddy gets the low flying rides (heights and Jim don't go really agree...) and Mommy gets the coasters!!! Enjoy the pics!

Good morning precious girls!

We haven't invested in a double stroller yet, so this is the best we can do! Good thing Emmy is still just a little bit!

This was a warm up for the Big Bad Wolf!

Up, up and away in my beautiful balloon!

It's GO time!

You can't see us, but we are in the second car going down the HUGE hill!


Bryden got her beautiful face painted with a little unicorn and of course...PINK


Who's having more fun...Bryden or Jim?!?!?!
