Hollow Sceam Busch Gardens 2008

The weekend of October 10th we decided to go to Busch Gardens with Erica, Brandon and Emily. We had a great time. On Friday night we went to their high school homecoming football game. Saturday we rode the rides, saw the shows and walked the park. The train ride happens at night so we had to stick it out until the lights came on. Anyway, here are our pictures.

Bath Time

Although the kiddos tend to take showers in the morning, this night I had the time to put them both in the bath. I don't know why I don't put them in the tub rather than giving them a shower. They have so much fun together. Jazelle tends to chew on the toys and Xavier likes to dump water on her head or drink the water.

Jazelle is 7 months today

I came home from work on thursday and Xavier had the winter hats out. Jazelle with clown hair.

Welcome!

I should let you know that I am in over my head. I wonder how all the mom's that do this are so organized. I would hope to be better if only I wasn't working. Unfortunately I am working so bear with me. All of you remember when I first started emailing photos. This is just one of those things I will be better at with time and practice.

Erin's & Charles Wedding Ithaca, NY

Robert H Treman State Park Ithaca, NY

Our family vacation this year was to my cousin Erin's wedding in Ithaca NY. Opa was very good hauling kids through the gorge at Robert Treman State Park. Erin and Charles were great tour guides. There were two groups of us that went on the hike. The first group there were 20 or more of us and the second group made it through before we left the parking lot. I know you have seen t-shirts saying Ithaca is gorges. Well I saw one. I was in one. Here are some of the pictures I took.

Baby girl & Aunt Shirley

Right before we started this hike I asked Charles if we should bring our double stroller. He told me there were a few steps. I decided against the stroller. A good thing too. My dad went back to try and catch the second group of hikers before the climbed the steps. Of course he counted them so he could pass the information. 200+

It makes me laugh to see Mr. Nature carrying Princess Pants while connecting with his peeps via cell in the middle of a gorge. This is a definate opportunity.

Xavier and Jazelle were bright eyed Thursday morning before school so I decided to try for a good picture.
