Among the first in and last out, we literally spent the whole day at Busch Gardens!  Just as soon as we walked through the gates we bee lined for the Sesame Street Safari of Fun, the park’s newest land filled with pint sized rides, loads of adventure and Big Bird and Elmo themselves! 






After wrapping up our morning on Sesame Street and lingering over lunch at the Bengal Bistro, we made our way to the Serengeti Railway, a forty-five minute journey into the wild habitats of hundreds of exotic animals.



The next stop on our adventure was to Timbuktu, where we rode more rides and ate more snacks.  The motorcycles here were one of the highlights of the day!

We were so excited to catch the new Iceploration live show, resplendent with ice skaters, puppets, costumes, music, special effects like bubbles and snow AND live animal stars!  It was an enthralling spectacle that kept the littles on the edges of their seats for it’s entire thirty minute run length.

After the show, Sister was a doll and watched the babies while her Mister and I hit the Cheetah Hunt and Gwazi rollercoasters.  We then checked out the smaller animal exhibits before heading back to Sesame Street for the A is for Africa live show.

As if our front row seats to the show didn’t have the babies already over the moon, afterwards were invited to come on stage and meet the stars!  Cookie was beyond thrilled to give Cookie Monster the biggest bear hug you’ve ever seen, and Bird planted a big kiss right on Grover’s red lips.  It was plum darling to see them, each with their favorite character.



We ran out our last ounces of energy in Elmo’s Treehouse Trek, Cookie Monster’s Canopy Crawl and Slimey’s Sahara Sand box before heading home for supper with the family.

It was another grand day in Florida!!
