Busch Gardens

I had Monday off because of veterans' day, so I decided to let Sam skip school and head to Busch Gardens.  I get in free because I belong to AZA (zoo association), Sam had a free preschool pass they did this year, and Zoey is under 3.  Mom and dad bought reduced price tickets from Publix.  

We started the day looking at primates.  Here are pictures at the statues.  Dad/Papa and I rode tons of rollar coasters, while Mom/Nana took care of the girls.  

At the aviary, Papa caught a bird.  It ended up pecking his arm so hard it bled.

Sam would not ride the kid roller coasters, but she loved these cars.

She got to feed a flamingo.

Both girls loved the carousels.

Sam really enjoyed the tiger exhibit.  There was a beautiful topiary.

And a pop out that one tiger was sleeping on.

Although Zoey loves Sesame Street, she did not like the characters.

She did love the train.  She even rode it once or twice totally alone.  No other kids on it.

 We ended the day riding the sky buckets.  We actually had to stop on them for a bit, but finally were let off and ended a long fun filled day as the sun went down.
