Island of Adventure


This was Emily's favorite area in "Islands of Adventure". She loved all the rides. The grinch down below was a punk....... what ever his costume sucked!








The above photo is of one of my favorite rides at "Islands of Adventure". My kids cried while we were standing in line saying they didn't want to ride it. At times Vince and I felt like we were vacationing with 2 eighty year olds! They didn't want to ride anything that was fast, wet, or scary! That leaves what....... dumbo??? Anyways..... being the rotten parents that we are we forced them to ride this ride tears and all!!




I think they decided that getting wet isn't that bad when it is 70 degrees out!










Busch Gardens Rocks!!

So as I was saying before...... Busch Gardens was really cool!
There was something for all of us!


Emily got her face painted!


Cody got to pet a Clydesdale! (That is one of those really big Budweiser horses..... in case you didn't know).

And Vince and I got to ride some really big coasters. We had to ride them alone but we got to ride them! (Emily was too short and Cody was too scared!) This one was one of my favs..... but it broke down almost at the top of the very first drop a couple hours after we rode it!! Scary!!!!

Nope that is not your imagination....... Emily has three birds on her head! One of them even pooped on her head! She was a good sport about it though. And then there is Cody the animal lover who was scared out of his mind with all of these lorakeets on him. I think he got used to them after a little bit!


They had a kids area where you could climb around...... I think Vince and I had more fun then the kids!

They are also a lot higher off the ground then they appear!

Feeding the Giraffes

So we have been home for a little over a week now and I am all ready thinking about where we can go on our next vacation! Words can not describe how much fun we had. One of the first things we did was go to Busch Gardens. I think out of all the Florida theme parks we have been to Busch gardens was my favorite! We paid a little extra while we were there and got to feed the Giraffes! It was very cool!


He wasn't really eating my hand..... although the look and my face might make you assume otherwise!




It took Emily and Cody a little bit to warm up to these hungry, gentle giants....... but now Cody says it was his favorite part of the whole trip!
