Awww, lovely Hallowscream!!!

 We were fortunate enough to have a lovely Fox Family trip to Busch Gardens just a few weekends ago!  It was so fun!  Madi did not want anything to do with any of the animals at Blue Bird Gap farm and even at BG, but oddly enough she loved touching the creepy fake dudes along the paths.  She even pretended they had bit her.  She is just like her syblings.  Gabby and Cavan were not all that impressed with them this year, so it has to just be the age! 

 Below she is showing that it bit her...ummmm...

 So Cavan walked up to this snake, petted it's belly and then before the keeper could stop him, ran to the head and started to pet it...yep that's Cav!  Go straight for the danger, never run away, well at least until your told to stop!!  Silly kid!

 Still trying to touch it's head...

 Paw Paw and Grandmaw brought a friend from their Mission in Utah back for a week to hang out!  We got to spend time with him as well!  He even braved touching the snake, even though he was quiet nervous about it!! 

 Whenever Uncle David is here, he has to take the kiddos on the Carousel!  He just has too, there is no if, ands or buts! 

 Yep, this is Gabby!  She watched the kids before her taking pictures like this, so she had to replicate!

 Madi's first trip on the planes!  She didn't want too at first, but Uncle David saved the day by reaching over the fence before they took off, handing her her pacifier!  That made the trip bareable for her!

 SWINGS!!! 

 Madi was so bored on the little swings!  At one point she reached around behind her trying to touch the swing! She is actually giving Paw Paw her pacifier right now. Silly girl!

 Gabby did not like flying solo!

 Madi was bored on here, and decided to chill alongside Aunt Ya Ya!

 This dude would yell at you if you slapped his knee!!  Guess what Uncle David did?  They ran, although Madi was a little confused more than scared!

 By the time we made it back to Elmo's Land, the big kids were already there playing, so Madi had a picture all to herself!! We had to get them out of the park by 6pm, because the scary stuff started then!!!  They were happy to leave with Paw Paw and Grandmaw, especially Gabby! She remembers last year, poor kid!



Blue Bird Gap Farm!

 This place is awesome!  If you ever go to Busch Gardens and have a little free time, go to this place!  It has grown so much since we first started going!  Clay has gone many times before we did as a family, and it has change a lot for him too!  The peacocks roam, and you actually get really close to them!  The kids tried many times to touch them!  We never let them get too close!!

 Gabby loved that she could feed the goats and they didn't bite her!!  She and Cavan were so excited with all of the animals that would let them pet them!!!

 She had just touched a goat and was doing a little tongue dance!!

 Crazy Emu!! They would run along the fence, and then stop right in front of you!  We didn't try to touch them, especially with those crazy eyes...

 This guy came walking up to us and paused as though he wasn't sure if he wanted to let us pet him, but then casually walked away!

 Gabby loved petting this big guy!!  He was so calm and just stood there waiting for some love!!

 The kids loved feeding and watching the animals be fed!!  This mammoth cow was definitely the top dog there!  He was first in line for the yummy veggies and fruit they were getting!

 

 Soon after this picture of Madi, the Emu below, as Madi was holding the railing, thought that her fingers were food an pecked them.  She cried so hard, it was so sad!  She was already so startled by all of the animals, and wouldn't touch any of them. This dude made it that much worse! 

 She wouldn't look at me while swinging, so I snapped until she did!  Silly little girl!
