Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream

The weekend before Halloween we headed to Busch Gardens for Howl-O-Scream. My parents headed up on Thursday with the dogs and the RV then on Friday Chad, Trey, Nana and I headed up together. 

 Enjoying their time with Grandma and Grandpa

  We enjoyed relaxing and playing with the dogs Saturday morning. Patrick drove up Saturday morning to meet us and join in on the fun, then we headed to Busch!

 We got in line for Apollos Chariot and then realized how not fun it would be to stand in line all day. We decided to buy the Quick Que unlimited pass so that we could jump to the front of the line all day. The boys stayed in line since we had already been waiting and I went to get the quick ques. It was so worth it. We ended up riding most of the rides 3 times, and some of the (non quick-que) wait times were up to an hour and a half!

We of course enjoyed a few drinks along the way. They had different bar areas set up throughout the park just for Howl-O-Scream. One of which had jello shots and they were terrible, basically because they were too cold in the fridge and were over congealed. 

As night fell the "zombies" started coming out. We were not as impressed this year as we were in years past. In the past there were people hiding in the bushes (dressed like bushes) who scared you as you walked along. This year they had "scare zones" and people in zombie costumes, some with chainsaws that they would rev up every now and then. 

It was definitely a good day and we were all exhausted by the time the park closed. I got in a nap on the way home, Sunday, with my pups:
