Day 10
Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 09:35PM 
We hit Busch Gardens again and were very glad to have gone the day before...when lines were shorter and the weather was nicer. :) Still, it was a good day.
To start, we revisited some of the boys' favorite rides.
(That first picture, though, is of the Griffon roller coaster. Nathan and I rode it yesterday. I wanted to show y'all that vertical drop. Seriously. Oy. ;) Noah wasn't at all interested and the younger two weren't tall enough, lol. Have I mentioned how lovely it is having a preteen who can supervise younger brothers so that we could do some rides on our own?)
And Nathan and Asher tried one of the rides we didn't hit yesterday...the Mach Tower...a 240 foot vertical drop. Um, Asher didn't really enjoy that. But he was a trooper and was proud of himself for trying it.
Then, because Nathan had taken the younger two yesterday while Noah and I stayed dry (not being as appropriately dressed for it), I ended up on both water rides with all three boys despite the cooler temperatures. Having already hit most things, though, we'd come better prepared and brought dry clothes for after. ;)
Of course, the dry clothes were pretty much moot when the skies opened up and made Busch Gardens a park where every ride's a water ride, lol. I was able to find a couple of kid-sized ponchos for Asher and Micah (adult sizes were sold out). Meanwhile, Nathan and Asher opted to go on one last coaster, making it on the last car before the ride closed temporarily due to weather.
Asher would like you to know that riding a coaster in the rain hurts, as the water pelting your face stings. :)
After that, we joined the throngs of people leaving the park in the downpour. We made it to our van and back to the hotel to get dry and warm. And I was pretty proud of myself for nabbing the hotel's only working guest laundry dryer before everyone else made a run on it. ;)
We did dinner at the local Italian restaurant we'd found a couple days ago (yum!!) then retired for the night. Whew.

I'm just wondering if Noah ate his way through the park, and if so, what did he eat?
