Memorial Weekend

We stayed pretty busy this long weekend...Saturday (5-24-08) we spent the morning and afternoon at Busch Gardens...the kiddos had a lot of fun, Calee tried some roller coasters and Gavin scoped out the territory and said he would do the roller coasters when he was bigger (apparently he got bigger by Monday). Then Saturday evening we took off for a Barbecue with some of Matt's friends from work...there was volleyball, a play set (there was so many kids to play with at the Barbecue, Calee and Gavin made some fun new buddies), a massive bonfire, lots of great food, and really great company. Sunday we recooperated and did the church thing. Monday (5-26-08) we spent the whole day at Busch Gardens...Calee and Gavin rode some pretty big roller coasters, Matt was so excited they were tall enough and wanted to ride the big rides with him. Brock enjoyed some little kiddo rides (his favorite was the airplanes) and tried to catch some cat naps when he could in the stroller. Matt and Gavin got stuck inside the building for the ride "Escape from Pompeii", they were stuck for about 10 minutes while maintenance tried to fix the problem, it was kinda funny to get a cell phone call from Matt while they were stuck on the ride...It was pitch black inside the building and apparently everyone was a little worried, so Matt decided to take advantage of that and splash the people in front of him just to get them more scared it worked they were streaming and freaking out (and he got away with it, they never found out he was the culprit)...Gavin and Daddy laughed quietly about their inside joke. Good times!

What a blast! Busch Gardens looks like such a fantastic place. I love that the kids are big enough for the huge roller coasters. And hilarious about Matt & Gavin's trick in the dark while they were stuck on the roller coaster, it sounds so much like a Matt thing to do :). Glad you had such fun!
