Family Beach Pictures

Unfortunately we did not get a really great one of the entire family..... :( We will try again. I have to leave Alabama with a great beach picture of the whole family.

Just For Laughs...... :)


We meant to get up and get going so we could be to the beach early enough to not have squinty eyes. This is a perfect example of our late start. :)

Photographer (DAD) "Both of you look in the distance and be serious."

Everytime I would look back at Dave and see his "serious face" I could NOT STOP LAUGHING...... no serious faces for us.

Busch Gardens

Upon arrival we were bombarded by eager photographers selling pictures. We were one of the suckers who bought one.

The very first ride was one for Porter. I was so proud of Kaden. He rode all of the baby rides with Porter so he would not be alone. He is a great big brother.

Notice how thrilled Kaden is

Grandma and Kaden

THE WILDLIFE

The righteous Gorilla and.........

the naughty Gorilla

This picture makes me sad. It was not very long ago that I was pushing this boy in a stroller and he actually fit.

Dad and his boys

Mom and her boys

Pure JOY

Papa and the boys

Typical Porter :)

The Sky Ride.... so much fun

I took this picture on the Sky Ride over the park. Please take notice of the highest roller coaster. That is............ drum roll................ The Sheikra. I, Emilie Patterson rode that ride to impress my 12 year old who was begging me to ride it with him. I will never, ever do anything like that again. I realized after the ride was over and I regained my composure that during the entire ride Colton was asking me if I was ok. Such a sweet boy...... shouldn't it be the mom asking that child if they are ok???



This is fear in it's truest form. I like to say that I was sooooooo scared that my hair grew an inch and that is exactly why my roots are showing so bad.. :)


SILLY PICTURES

THE TRAIN RIDE THROUGH THE SERENGETI

I would like to start off with this picture that makes me laugh really hard. My dad had to sit by this teenage girl. They both looked so awkwardly uncomfortable during the entire trip that I could not stop laughing.

Please take notice of the scariest roller coaster in the world in the background. After you look at the cool Zebra of course.

The Giraffes would walk right up to the train. Super fun!!!

He's so handsome..... I love him!!!!

PLAYING IN THE WATER

I love how in this picture Colton looks so eager to sacrifice his body :)

PROOF OF A GREAT TIME
