Busch Gardens - Tampa, FL


Before Thanksgiving we visited my brother Ken and his wife Erin in Tampa, FL. We lucked out because that was the weekend that Jack Hannah was visiting Busch Gardens.

He put on a pretty good show with beautiful exotic cats and other creatures...weird birds, etc...

After the show Jack stuck around to sign autographs. Reeve and Kyle have seen him on David Letterman, so they were pretty excited to see his show and get an autograph.

Reeve was almost tall enough to ride on some thrilling rides...but not quite.

Kyle, who was more excited about riding some roller coasters, was just tall enough for the kiddie rides.

We walked the big kids (Ken, Erin & Tommy) up to the no-way-on-earth-would-I-subject-myself-to-such-torture rides.

The kids and I went to The Land of The Dragons to wait for their return

It was full of very tame, almost too tame, kiddie rides. We spent hours in there waiting for the "big kids" to return.

Reeve and Kyle spent hours in the bounce house. They must have gone through that line at least 10 times.
The cool thing about Busch Gardens is that it has great rides and beautiful animals.

We took the safari train around the park and came really close to some rhinos

massive aren't they?

and Kyle's favorite...zebras.
