Field Trip to the Orthodontist

We took a little field trip to visit Uncle Dave for his upcoming birthday. Alison liked his office as much as Busch Gardens. She couldn't get enough of the exploring and all the cooing women. We had a great time!

The lights are really bright in there!
She made off with a new mouth mirror and toothbrush - although, I think she's trying to look at her face in the tiny little thing.

Busch Gardens

This picture right here pretty much sums up her day at Busch Gardens! She had a blast! This was in the little kiddie water playground - she cooled off her in her t-shirt for about an hour. I think she would have stayed all day.She was fascinated by these jets that spontaneously squirted water at her.
But didn't like it when it got in her face.
Daddy is so proud of the little pilot.
Here she is with best buds Ty and Cole - they were good big brothers to her, riding rides with her.
She is going to be a very serious driver, evidently.
She rode this ride like 8 times. It went up and down and around. Every time a ride was over she would sign, "more, more" in all earnestness.
What was really funny is that we took her on the carousel first thing and she was a little freaked out about sitting on that horse - even with me holding onto her. After a morning on these other rides, some by herself, we went back to the carousel and she got on the horse and was holding on with one arm waving at everyone - I guess we have a little daredevil on our hands. I kept looking at her riding stuff by herself and loving it and thinking - is this normal for a 1 and 1/2 year old to seem so fearless?

Beach Blanket Bingo

We took a 2-day trip down to VA beach and Busch Gardens. I don't know who had more fun, Alison or Nick and I watching her. Minus the night in the hotel room (away from her bed) it was a fantastic trip!
