Fireworks At Busch Gardens

As you know, Daddy loves fireworks.

And as you also know, Virginia outlaws "real" fireworks (i.e. awesome/dangerous pyrotechnics in your front yard)--so, we decided to put those Busch Garden's season passes to good use again, and go for their special 4th Fireworks tonight.

The park is doing fireworks every night between July 3 and August 3, but the ones on the 3rd, 4th & 5th are "extra" special (i.e. longer).

Now, I knew going on a Saturday, even though we left at 6 and would only clock about 3-4 hours total it would be busy. But, I was not prepared for just how busy it was! 

You know me, I hate crowds of people and I am not good with heat. So unknown circumstances + heat + ridiculous amounts of people = one really stressed out mama. 

I grumped along as the kids each found one ride a piece they could stand in the very long lines for. Of course they were having a grand old time, and my sour mood was ruining it for everyone.

Daddy, knowing how to handle a "hot" mama was willing to find a cool place to sit and he (against my grumpy tight-wad objections) bought over-priced park food and fed said mama-beast.

After that things went well.

We watched a show, where Gracie and I laughed and laughed as Thomas AND Daddy participated with the great group of performers.  (I am not allowed to share daddy's "experience," but it is a moment that will be forever ingrained in my memory!)



When the show was over, we leisurely walked to the docks near the cruise boats and found a place to sit and wait for the fireworks to begin.

We all added to our already large collection of mosquito bites, but the kids really enjoyed watching the fireworks.




Almost as much as daddy.
