Weekend Fun

We loaded up the truck and headed to my parent's house for the weekend. I feel like I limited my packing and we still had a full truck bed and cab! Traveling with Mason is so much work compared to what we need for Miller these days. I can't wait until we are out of the pack n play, diapers, sippy cups, bibs, etc.

The drive was long and frustrating when Mason fussed/cried for an hour at a time but we eventually made it there and back. It's the in between stuff that's fun to report on.

Saturday we went to Busch Gardens. Since we have been to the park several times, we decided to go to the things we like. The problem with that method is there is no short cut between the different areas so there is a lot of walking. Miller was not into the animals this time; it was all about the rides.

Miller  rode the flume, airplanes, motorcycles (which up until now, he refused to ride because they didn't have helmets...), Sand Storm, gliders, the Grover roller coaster, some other small rides in Sesame Street (he's now too tall for the swings!) and ran in the tree top portion all by himself. He also took Mason on the flying elephants. I wasn't there for it but my mom said he held one arm around Mason the whole time. He had a blast and was super good.

Mason went on the motorcycles, the carousel, the flying elephants, and I think something else but not sure. He had a blast people watching and looking at the animals. He was also a super trooper. He didn't fuss and stayed up way past his normal nap time. Both kids ate like champs which is also good when you are paying through the nose for overpriced food.

After a long hard day, Mason napped in the car ride back. Miller decided to tell Grandpa about the entire day while Grandma took a cat nap. That evening, Miller made everyone quesadillas for supper. After Mason went down, we watched the Avengers. Sunday was the pumpkin patch/farm trip. I will post about that tomorrow.
