Day at Mt. Trashmore

Ava making music

I love love love these shoes. Sami has such good taste!

On our way to go visit the ducks. When she sees them she points at them and says "Duh Duh".

It was a stampede! Scary! We had to sneak up on them so they wouldn't attack Next on to the playground Checking out the area Ava is being able to do more and more activies at the park. She loves going to Mt. Trashmore because of all the different types of dogs there and the geese.

Yum-O!

Chili Night

Ava's partner in Crime; Penny Lane get some Chili too

Tortellini with meat sauce night Ava LOVES apples just like her Momma now. Yum Yum Yum Take a bite out of crime Our little eater has been growing quite the appetite lately. She is definitely a carnivore and has yet to find a meat that she dislikes. She has decided that she only cares for corn when it is ON the cob. She has been our entertainment this week at dinner with her wide array of facial expressions of delight and disgust with her meals.

Hallowscream at Busch Gardens

Real people would swap out with the scarcrows at night and scare the pee out of you. Yikes We screamed the whole day with the Wrigleys TURKEY LEGS one of the best parts of the day Doingn the spidey kiss This guy was by far the scariest there.

We had a great time at Busch Gardens this past weekend. Jen Brown came down for the weekend and watched Ava Saturday night. She is such a good friend to us. We went to Busch Gardens Hallowscream and it lived up to its name. Our companions, the Wrigleys are Busch Gardens gurus who knew all the inside tips on the park. We didn't get many pictures because we were on haunted trails and rides for the majority of the night. I was definitely hoarse when we came home from screaming in fright of the scary leaf people on stilts. Thank you again Jen Brown for giving us a rare couples night out.

Ava blowing kisses
