Hey everyone, we arrived home from our summer vacation this evening. We went on what seemed like a whirl wind vacation. Due to Todd just starting his new job the only weekend we could go was July 4th. As crazy as that seems we did it. We left after Todd got home from work Thursday evening and arrived in Williamsburg, VA about 10:30pm that night. The boys really did great traveling considering (Thank GOD for DVD players in cars). We were up bright and early the next morning (thanks to Warren) and headed off to Water Country. We had a blast there. Wyatt surprised us by climbing up this cargo net to slide down a rather large yellow tube water slide.
After a fun filled day at Water Country we headed back to the hotel for baths and off to dinner at oh yes Wyatt and my favorite...OLIVE GARDEN. I ate so much salad and bread sticks I thought I would pop, and that does not include the seafood alfredo. The next day we were yes up again very early thanks to Mr. Warren, but that was ok. We had a big day planned for Busch gardens. We were there just as the park opened (we have never done that before). We had a great day until about 5:00pm when it started to sprinkle and then became a down pour. Of course Nana had wished for rain so some of the people would leave the park. Nana...don't forget that saying "Be careful what you wish for." Well, needless to say, we waited for quite sometime for the rain to stop, but it did not. We ended up leaving and heading for the hotel, but not before we picked up an endangered WHITE TIGER. Don't be too afraid he is a friendly little fellow.
Well, after a quick in the hotel room dinner. We were off to bed, because now we have to face the drive home. I just really don't like leaving from a vacation. I never have. You have all that anticipation and it really ends to quickly. I don't think it would matter if I stayed for 2 days or 10. Well, here we are back home. Things went well on our drive home today. We stopped to see Aunt Judy and Uncle Dunk, but they were not home. The boys did really well. Warren took a good nap and "Tom and Jerry" kept Wyatt occupied. Well, now it is off to bed because tomorrow it is back the the "OLD GRIND" as my Mama would say.
Today we went to Hattie and Taylor's grandparents house to help them celebrate their 4th birthday. We had a great time! In Wyatt's words, "It was awesome." I think that just about sums it up. They had a clown painting faces and tying balloon animals, much to my surprise the boys were not scared of her at all. Wyatt and Warren both let her paint their faces. He are a few pics from their fun day..JPG)
