Spring Break Part 3






As for BUSCH GARDENS.... I had no idea what this place was until we got here and I have no desire to go near roller-coasters again anytime soon. Of course I did not ride any... (I detest rides and my back would not cope- I have the life long excuse to not get on any ride!) but the kids sure had their fill. The Griffin is one of the world's steepest and fastest rides... Keith had to work hard to get Megan and Luke on the rides, but now they just run off and beg to get in line again. The weather has been very HOT... 30*c degrees hot... we've gone through lots of sunscreen and water. Keith and the kids got stuck on one of the rides for 45 minutes- spring break glitches- and of course they were stuck at the TOP of the ride- and were the last people off the ride as they climbed down 85 feet of stairs!!! No one was freaked out and we did get free meals vouchers out of the deal.... but what a way to remember a roller coaster ride! This park is beyond description- just google it. There were some neat shows to see and lots of rides for the kids.

We are thankful for a real spring break trip- never have done something like this before! Keith still had to keep up with his school reading and Advanced Greek Grammar translations, but we had lots of time for fun too. Now we're back to reality and the rest of the school term- which does not seem very long when I consult the calendar! The kids are sure looking forward to going back to Canada for a month... it will happen soon enough :)
