We just got back from Bush Gardens - a.k.a Elmo Extravaganza. As we were driving out of the park, Brian commented - "Wow, we were at Busch Gardens for two days, and we didn't go on a single roller coaster." Yep, times have changed :) It was an absolutely beautiful weekend. And it was especially fun to see the park through Ella's eyes! I remember amusement parks seemed huge and so impressive as a child. It was fun to relive it as we watched Ella explore! The park is great for toddlers. So much to do and see!
Woah - a little afraid of the big neigh.
Watching Elmo and the rest of the crew intently.
Getting braver.
First of a zillion photos in front of costumed characters.
Riding with Daddy.
Riding the choo-choo. The park was beautiful and Ella loved the train!
Cheese!
This is Ella's face when we tell her to make her "happy face." (I'm not sure what kind of face mommy is making).
A boy getting a little too close!
Climbing the tree house with Daddy!
Up up mommy!
Riding the ferris wheel with Daddy.
Driving the boat all by herself :)
Airplane! Horses, choo-choos, swings -- all of Ella's favorite things in one place.
We get to go and see Elmo again!?! (Breakfast - day 2)
I don't care how pretty the scenery is - I'm not smiling!
We'll get a smile out of you yet!
Very serious driver.
Whoosh!
Lunch with Elmo!!!
More photo ops!
This is Ella's reaction to cookie monster. Needless to say - not a fan.
Dessert!
A little shy at the dance party...
Big hug from Elmo.
Love you Elmo! Until next time. Kiss!

Looks like so much fun. We are big into Elmo around here too, this would be right up Lexi's alley.
