"I think they call it Busch Gardens because it's wet."

Today was the first day since John moved out that he has been able to spend a whole day with the kids, and the kids pretty much dragged us both out of the house to Busch Gardens today. We have season passes as we live about 3o minutes from the attraction, so we go pretty regularly. I was a little nervous about going, but figured there was nothing like jumping right into this new situation.

It was...well, I won't say it was fun, but the kids had fun, and that was the important part today. They really, really needed a day of fun. I have not felt like even leaving the house this week, so they have spent a lot of time running circles in the living room while I felt sorry for myself on the couch. So getting out and about was very good for them. It was definitely super awkward for me personally...it's weird to be out with your husband after you know he doesn't want to be your husband anymore, you know? So, yeah, weird. But we're all still alive tonight, so I guess it was a success.

Here are some pictures from our day. I am beyond exhausted from schlepping all over the park in the humid, hot, hot heat, and cannot stop yawning. Ava won the balloon popping game fair and square...she beat me, John, and Jace and picked out a white tiger. I was actually a little upset that she beat me. I'm a bad loser. Then Jace became completely obsessed with the spiderman booth, and John had to beat a pretty much unbeatable game to win it for him. Thank goodness he did, or we would literally still be at Busch Gardens with a three year old having the biggest tantrum ever. We saw a 4-D movie that sprayed water on us at the end and Ava and Seth freaked out completely. I thought Ava was going to have a panic attach. I'll have to remember not to take her to see anything in 3-D. Halfway through she said "I just want to go home!"

On the way out of the park, Ava said "Wow, it is wet here! I bet that's why they call it Busch Gardens." Umm....okay, honey. Whatever you say.
