How great, I am so happy to hear that my Maya 's "tantrums" will probably not even be able to be heard with 100 kids near her age!! Now is that 100 just 3 year olds and under and doesn't add in all the older siblings??? Wow, we are going to rule the hotel

We are so excited to go.

For those that live down south (well, south of Ohio anyway) is there any problems with the gas shortage between here and there? I started reading about it, and it seems to be more Georgia but thougt I would ask. I can just picture us pushing our car the last 100 miles...anything to make it to Guatoberfest

I know there has been a change in the schedule. I can't find where I read it, but are we now going to the aquarium in place of the "carnival"? If so, is it a place where there are other things to do around it? I have a child who is terrified of aquariums and have no idea why. He won't even walk near the door to it at the zoo. Just wondering if it's a place that either my husband or myself can take the other two while the other stays with our son either around that area or back at the pool/beach. Just wondering, we never make anything easy.

I can't believe it's only a week away!!!!!

Yes, the aquarium is at Broadway at the Beach- they have a web-site. There is a TON of stuff to do there besides the aquarium. Can't wait to see everyone there!
