Today, we took our family and Joey Bryan to Busch Gardens to celebrate TJ's birthday. We had a great time! Some of these are hilarious, and I hope they make you laugh as hard as they did us. TJ had never ridden on any of the roller coasters at Busch Gardens, so his goal was to ride every one. I think we did them all except Big Bad Wolf. It had a very long line, so they didn't want to wait. We all rode Apollo's Chariot twice and also did Loch Ness & Alpengeist and others I can't remember. :) I didn't ride Griffin, but everyone else did.
Here is TJ this morning, after opening the Aviators Mary bought for him and the camera Theron and I got for him.

Theron and Nancy with FIVE of our kids!Johnny is the sixth one. We missed you, Johnny, but we'll go again when you can go, too.

This is TJ, Joey, Theron, Mary & Chrissy on the Griffin. This is the new ride at Busch Gardens this year. They went on it first to see if I would like it. Sam wasn't sure, so she stayed with me this time. I took this as they dropped on the first big 90 degree drop. They are on the back row...if you can enlarge this you'll see them. Otherwise, I'll enlarge it and repost it. :)
This is the 5 kids on The Griffin later in the day. I didn't want to go, and Theron stayed with me being the sweetheart that he is. :) They all decided to make faces. Before they got off the ride, we saw the pictures and bought this one. They were on the 2nd row.
Here are the 5 kids on the way home. We hadn't been in the van more than 15 minutes and they were all zonked!! I took two pictures and they never knew I took them. In fact, only Joey and Mary know I took them, so I'll be dead meat when they others see them on the blog. Sorry, guys! Moms get to post stupid things on their blogs. :)
Here is the other one. Great, huh? 
We went to Olive Garden, per TJ's request, on the way home. It was great food and the waitress was the best one we've ever had anywhere! 
When we got home, TJ opened up the rest of his presents. Here are the girls looking on and being silly.
Happy Birthday, TJ!! We love you much!!
