For everyone with kids out there, remember, they can sense your unease, anxiety and fear. So while you should still remind them to cover their mouth when they cough, and wash their hands appropriately also make sure they have some fun and light-hearted play in their routine so that they don't shut down.
When I asked our Ninja about it later, he said "It was the absolute best day ever, I can't wait to do it again" and he has spoken of it fondly. I've even heard him using the words "best day ever" in his play since then (it's a habit he has, where his daily life is adapted into his pretend play).

Now as I mentioned yesterday, make sure your little ninja wears shoes for at least the measuring process. Thin-sole shoes will actually put shorter children at a disadvantage. Again, this is NOT cheating.
To compare Busch Gardens to Six Flags or even Disney, doesn't do anyone any favors. I mean it has a lot of thrill rides and coasters like Six Flags, but it has hospitality more like Disney while the over all park theming, and beauty, is just on it's own plane of existence.
So Saturday was opening day, or possibly still pre-season, we aren't sure. But they are open for weekends this point forward. I had a chance to take some great pictures so I thought I would share them. -R
Brick Schools will pick him up from there and take him to Pre-K at Warren H. Wolf. Or so we hope.
