Busch Gardens!

On Wednesday we decided to have some fun at Busch Gardens.  The girls had been looking forward to visiting the Sesame Street themed children's area for weeks.  And we were excited that Grandma decided to join us!
Kate was "sort of" ok with meeting the characters.  We thought she'd be a little more excited about meeting her hero- Grover- but she was a little overwhelmed :)
Kate's first "roller coaster"
We didn't realize they had a waterpark but Grandma quickly remedied that by buying some cute swimsuits and the girls had a blast
We did make major headway on Grace's bravery today.  Grace decided to ride some rides and she loved it!  She couldn't get enough!  And Kate, well, she screamed when the ride was over and had to get off :)
This ride was the real turnaround for Grace.  Jack stood in line with her and then tried to get in but Grace told him at the last minute "No, I'm going to ride this one myself" and she did!  She even pulled the lever to make herself rise up in the air.
Big girls!
Kate's new buddy
I'll admit I got a little scared of heights and abandoned Jack on the rope bridge with the girls :(  He handled it great and got them both across, many times :)
Kate didn't mind having to slide down the big slide herself
Jack and I rode this- talk about scary...
Great day!
