Chirstmas Town Busch Gardens 2009

For a couple of weeks now Wink and I had been talking about taking the kids to Busch Gardens for Christmas Town. Since it was mostly outside we needed to select a night when it wouldnt be to cold for the kids. My theory was to pick a day when it was a little warmer during the day, and it would be a little warmer that night. At least it was good in theory!! We set out last Wednesday with all of our heavy winter gear in hand. The kids were so excited. I dont think they even noticed the cold; at least not at first:)
Here they are when we first walked in.
There were so many real Christmas trees all over the park.


Wink and the kids.

My turn!! I was the only one without a hat.

This had to be one of the biggest snowman I have ever seen. I couldnt even get the whole thing in the picture.

The park had a couple of Penguins on loan from Sea World in CA. It was really neat the way they had the path leading to them decorated.

Isnt this one cute!!

And now the real ones:)

The kids were so excited that they really "won" these stuffed penguins. It was a game that basically everyone wins, but we didnt tell them that!!

Oh WOW, we made it all the way to the North Pole!!


And who lives in the North Pole...Santa of course!!! Here they are telling them what they wanted.


This was the view walking back across the bridge headed to Ireland. The whole park had this feel to it. It was very well decorated and just added to the Christmas spirit. By about 9:15 the cold was setting in and we headed back to the front of the park. It was about 36 degrees when we left. We all really enjoyed the visit and cant wait to see what they do next year.
