Gravity Rides Everything

Where to begin ... it was a busy week around here. We had Lily's first week of school as the oldest in her class and some vacation to boot.

On Thursday we headed down to Williamsburg for a quick visit. We arrived late in the afternoon an wandered around Colonial Williamsburg. Since we were so late, there was not much to see but the kids had a chance to run around and burn off some energy. After a quick bite we headed off to the hotel to relax and get ready for the next day's big trip to Busch Gardens.

Friday we started off early with Jack waking us up at the crack of dawn. After breakfast we headed off to the amusement park. Lily and Jack had a great time and went on a bunch of rides and couldn't get enough. There were a bunch of things for the kids to do and we all had a great day.

Friday night we headed off to the Lake and a weekend of fun. Lily and Jack had a great time with Grandma Gail, Grandpa Tom, Aunt Kelly and Cousin Casey. Lily had a good water ski session and had a good time riding on the various tubes.

On to the pictures and and videos.

Great blog! Lily did SO well with the characters. She might be ready for the big D (as in isney, not onna). Love to all. Can't wait to see you.

I see Jack inherited Stuart's driving abilities. Did you really think he was going to be able to drive the car on his own?
