Last Friday night, we traveled up to Williamsburg and stayed with Grandma Avery. . .Grandpa was out of town this time helping one of my uncles. Spent the night, and then Saturday morning there was an egg hunt in my grandparents neighborhood that we took the girls to. Rachel was soooo close to having the most eggs found, but didn't win. She was very upset! You win some, you loose some.
Then we went to Busch after the egg hunt. This year, Rachel past up the 42 inch mark, so she was able to go on some new rides! New for her anyway. . . She was excited since the kiddie rides are "slow and boring." We took the kids back to grandma in the afternoon, ate dinner, and then Brandon and I went back to the park to ride some of the roller coasters together childless. :) It was lightly raining, so a lot of people went home early. There was practically NO LINES for everything! One ride, Alpengiest, there was nobody at! We walk up, and the girl running it was all like, "Hey, there's some people coming! Whoo-hoo!" We wait for the next train to come back and no one is on it! Then the girl makes a comment about how we get to have the train all to ourselves. How often does that happen? :) Getting to ride a roller coaster with just you and your husband on it. . . :) When it came back around, we were able to just stay on, but some more people came and got on too. . .so we had to ride with 4 other people next time around! After the second time, we were ready to get off even though we could have stayed on a 3rd time. We were there childless for only 2 hours, but still got to ride each roller coaster 2 times, except Big Bad Wolf only once (because we chose to), and Apollo's Chariot 3 times. Oh, we didn't get on Griffin at all because Elizabeth is chicken! That's the only roller coaster exception. We even did Dark Castle thing twice, and the bumper cars and Leonardo's Cradle ride one time each. Getting on rides is pretty efficient when there's either no lines or only a few minute wait!
On Sunday, Easter, we went over to G and G Doyal's house to spend some time with them, and ate lunch. Then, went to my aunt and uncle's house to deliver some Girl Scout Cookies my aunt had ordered from Rachel. Then, back to the Avery's for dinner, then headed home.
