Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens is offering free tickets to veterans and their families, so we jumped at the chance, let Jo skip a day of school, and headed to Williamsburg. 


Enjoying the view on the gondola


Casen was thrilled to be on the little kid rides







the first ride Casen and Caleb went on was what they thought was a kid's roller coaster.  It ended up being an indoor outdoor very much adult ride.  

We didn't have to wait in a single line for any rides.  It was a pretty great day!

May

We started out the month with a hike around belle isle while Jo was busy in school.  It's one of our favorite places to go.  I'm not sure where else you get a combination of completely being in the city and completely being in the middle of the woods.



We had so much fun I decided that's how I wanted to spend Mother's Day.  I got spoiled with gifts then we headed right there before it got too hot...(excuse the attire, we literally rolled out of bed and went.)  There's places where you climb towers so you're hiking up in the trees, crossing giant bridges over the James, walking down the canal, and walking along the river in the woods on a dirt path.










And Caleb finally was able to get his appointment to start his full sleeve tattoo.  He got one session in last week.  I can't wait to see what it looks like after his appointment next week....and to see it all finished by the end of summer!


And so thankful I get to end our month recap with another pretty bouquet of flowers from the best guy 


Casen is finishing up his state testing this week.   He has 2 weeks left until he's done with school and then we head North to spend a few weeks with family.  These months seems to be flying by....and we have a major surprise planned for the kids very soon!
