East Coast Trip - Part IV - BIG BIRD

My mother had a big birthday on July 18th - turning 60! Whoohoo! So we all planned to meet up in Williamsburg, Virginia to celebrate her birthday.... by going to an amusement park! :)

Brock ready for the car ride north

David, Brock, my Mom and I arrived a little early on Thursday so we could explore some Busch Gardens before Brian and Nancy joined us that evening. It worked out well to be there later Thursday afternoon because the Sesame Street section of the park was wide open for Brock to explore and have some special time with a certain yellow bird. 

First we went on a few rides - even my mother went on this ride and thought it was a little fast!

Then it was time for Brock to meet a special friend and he was in love!!

He could not take his eyes off of him!

Because we were there at a non-crowded time, there was no one behind us in line so we really spent quite a few minutes with Big Bird in this room. Alas it was time to go around the corner and see the pictures Busch Gardens took (and want you to buy). Brock was a little upset because he still wanted to play!

....so guess who came around the corner to see him!

These pictures are from the hallway. Big Bird got off his stool when he heard Brock whimpering to go back to Big Bird and came to play even longer!

Brock was super excited. He touched his beak, gave him "high five's" and even touched his feet! Brock just loved it!

"Big Bird, you are so tall!"

Of course after that, Elmo was no longer Brock's "go to" when we walked through the gift shop. He went right after a Big Bird stuffed animal. Aww how sweet.
