Birthday Party, Busch Gardens, Busted Lip

We started off our day with a party and ended with 3 very tired Milnes! Happy Birthday to our friend Justin who celebrated his 1st birthday today!

Busch Gardens just opened their Sesame Street area and we had a lot of fun there, although it was very crowded. Actually it was more difficult to take them there. The play ground area was difficult to keep track of the kids - you couldn't see them at all times and was very open - another mother was frantically searching for her boy who had wandered out of there. We almost couldn't ride any of the rides in there b/c I had to ride with both of them and they won't let you ride with 2 of them (silly rule for a couple of the rides). I am so glad that I ran into my friend Becca, who watched Zachary while I took Jacob on the children's roller coaster. I'm not sure Jacob liked it, I think he was mostly terrified. They also have a splash-ground which I gave in and let them roam around in. But also very big and open and I was scared Jacob was going to run right out of the play area and into the crowds.

Zachary wearing his 3-D glasses in the 4-D Sesame Street show. This was not very fun for us. They couldn't keep their glasses on and the 4-D part kept blowing air and spraying alot of water on us suddenly. Quite scary for my toddlers and very disappointing.

The spray-ground and sesame street characters are what made it so much fun!

Then about 5 minutes after we got home, Jacob managed to run into the patio table on his bike and cut through his lip with his tooth. There was blood and I couldn't tell where it was coming from - and for a moment I thought we were headed to the ER. It stopped bleeding, but I think Jacob's gonna have a fat lip in the am.

In case you're wondering when I get my chores done... I don't! At least not today!
