Trip to Virginia

For the long Labor Day weekend, we decided to go up to Virginia.  We went to Busch Gardens and then to Colonial Williamsburg.  This is our walk around the streets.  The kids didn't really enjoy this part of the trip, but Riley and I would like to go back by ourselves sometime.  Even though it was a long weekend, we still came home on Sunday.  I think Monday will be a recovery day.  

Hotel

Elli after her bath at the hotel.  It felt so good to get cleaned up after being hot and sweaty and sticky.

Busch Gardens

We spent most of the day Saturday at the park.  It was very crowded.  I kept thinking how Jessica told us they didn't have to wait in the lines when they came and how I wanted to kick myself for coming on a holiday weekend.  The lines were long and the kids got tired of waiting.  It was a fun day though.  Here are the kids looking at a kiddie ride not wanting to ride it because it was too silly. 

Before Roman Rapids

Amy is ready to ride, Adam thinks the ride looks lame.

After Roman Rapids

Amy was not happy to be wet, Adam was finally having fun.

Haircut

Amy has been asking to get her hair cut for about 2 weeks.  I thought if I messed up, we could go get it fixed, but it turned out alright.  When I blow dry it, it looks pretty cute.  I usually only do that on Sundays though.

Baptism

I wish we took more pictures this day.  Adam was baptized and Riley's mom and Dan drove a long way to be here for it and we just didn't get many pictures of it.  I think I got the back of Kathy's head in one photo.  Other than that, the day went great.  Lots of friends and good food. I think I was the most nervous for Adam.  He was more upset that we had to do it on a Saturday and take up his cartoon morning, but he's a really good kid.  We are proud.
