Summer in the States ~ 2010 ~ Kimball Time

Our last days in the States were spent with Karen's family in FL. The whole family flew in or drove in from all over to celebrate Mom & Dad's 45th Anniversary, as well as to be together as a whole family. It was the first time in over 5 years we had all been together.

We had 3 action packed days, filled with fun memories!!

Busch Gardens!!

Monday, August 2nd was spent at Busch Gardens!
Tons of fun riding rides and seeing shows!

Several of the cousins at the 4-D Pirate show.
Blowing winds, creeping crabs, spitting water, and other excitement made it a memorable show.
