Well I must say Saturday was a fun filled busy day that started early and end late as we headed to Tampa and Busch Gardens until 3'ish and then to Brandon to celebrate the twins birthday with several family members on both side of the family. I did some rides that I had never thought would be so thrilling but totally dangerous and gut churning. The two rides had me upside down while dropping with such force my eye lids were bent back and the one steep drop off ride had be actually praying silently as we rode to the top of the frame where you could see for miles. Their names were African but the kids were loving it and it was the first time for Gabe and Annsley as well. These rides were nothing like what I was use to back in the days of the Ferris Wheel and Octopus. These were major gravity defying rides that put you in a state hilarious screaming while turning your body white. I've never experienced anything like the G Force these rides afford you while at the same time causing you to be frightened and if they malfunctioned you were dead.
It was a bit hot and humid as the day wore on as we took the twins or put them on several kiddie rides which there were plenty for them to ride. We saw some large wild animals, fishes, huge turtles that were hundred of years old and rode a train. I was disappointed several rides were closed especially the skyline ride that takes you over the whole park which is huge. The prices were outrageous for a bottle of water and the food and the parking was 30 bucks per car and preferred parking was 45 per vehicle. They do have a huge staff but with the price of a ticket and everything its a small fortune for a days fun unless you purchase a season pass then maybe its worth it. We saw maybe just 1/4 of the park and one of the shows for the boys called the Elmo Theatre which they were mesmerized by the characters in full dress and singing. We got to rest while watching this show.
We got back to Bobby's and put up the jump house we purchased for them and they loved it as well as all the small kiddo there. Eliza came and along with the two Everett boys, the Korte grands they all had a great time. The jump house was very nice and rugged with the blower which quickly blows it up. They should have plenty of fun for days to come with it. Bobby ordered pizzas's and they were delicious and along with bagged salad from Publix we ate well. They had a huge birthday cake and then it was present opening time and they scored some great toys and clothes
It was a long day and we both were bushed so it was shower time when we got home around 8"ish and the I hit the sack around 9:30 and slept soundly until the morning. Nancy was whupped more so than me as she just can not handle the heat and humidity, LATER
