We took the girls to Busch Gardens for the first time as a fall treat and part of Hailey's birthday present. This was the first time Hailey had been to an amusement park or on a roller coaster, so she was very excited about it! Emily and Jeff love roller coasters so we knew that they would do more riding than us. However, due to the size of the girls, Hailey could actually go on more rides than Emily even though she didn't choose to.
The weather was perfect! Fall is the perfect time to go to amusement parks because the kids are back in school and it is isn't too hot. Both girls had Friday off from school so I took the day off to avoid the weekend crowds. I don't think I've ever been to a park where you really didn't have to wait in line. Our wait time was only a few minutes if at all.
Hailey's first roller coaster was the Lochness Monster and she absolutely loved it. She wanted to get right back on it, but we opted to find some new rides. Jeff attempted the Gryphon by himself while we stood below and watched. It looked super scary, but I ended up going back to try it later on and I think it is now my favorite roller coaster ever. It is smooth so you don't get banged around in the seat, which is the part that I always dread about roller coasters. I would have stayed on the Gryphon all day if I could, but Hailey wasn't up for such a scary ride and Emily wasn't tall enough.
Our day ended earlier than we anticipated after Hailey had a scary ride and got bumped around too much. This turned out okay because we had a birthday party to prepare for once we got home!
