My parents and I took the kids to Busch Gardens last Saturday (thanks for the tickets, Lindsey!). We mainly went to check out the new Sesame Street "Forest of Fun", which was a big hit. Abby was a little shy about the rides and characters at first, but as the day went on that got better. Of course the first thing she saw was the water play area and she immediately wanted to get in. I had brought a change of clothes but not a bathing suit, so we made her wait until the end of the day. If you are taking your kids...bring a bathing suit and towel. They get soaked in the sprinklers :)
Abby (Andrew too, actually) enjoyed seeing the characters come out and dance and sing. We went to "Dining with Elmo" which was great. You make reservations beforehand so there is no wait. They have a kid and adult-friendly buffet (that day they had mac and cheese, nuggets, pizza sticks, pork tenderloin, fajitas, and grilled veggies). The characters come out and sing, then they call everyone up by table to have pictures with Elmo and Big Bird. Bert, Ernie, and Cookie Monster walk around the tables. At one point Ernie and Bert did a little musical number. You can take as much time as you want meeting the characters and they serve cute Elmo and Cookie cupcakes for dessert.
We also enjoyed the "Land of Dragons" kids area, the carousel, skylift, and train. We went to the Sesame Street 3-D movie, which I thought was cute but Abby got a little scared of the stuff coming out at her.
All in all, a great day and I highly recommend it!
