Busch Gardens Tampa!

We are a family that LOVES roller coasters! Last year we went to Busch Gardens and I forgot my camera! This year I didn't forget! Busch Gardens does a Salute to the Heroes program that lets military and their families in for free to a Busch Garden theme park. We always choose Busch Gardens because of the roller coasters. They are fabulous! I love that thrill of plummeting to the ground, or going upside down. It's so fun! Poor Tyler. I thought for sure this year he'd be able to go on the big rides. There are about 5 or 6 really big coasters you have to be 54" to ride. He's like 53 1/2". But, there were plenty of other good rides to go on.

This is Brena at the end of the day running to cram in as many rides as she could on this coaster.

You can see Tyler in the very back seat and Brena is right in front of him.

This is on one of those crazy water rides. We got so totally soaked, I was wringing my shorts out.

Lots of animals throughout the park. We even saw a tiger and a white tiger.

Ahhh, one of my favs...Sheikra! It is 200 feet up and 90 degrees straight down and 68 mph the whole way!!! WOW! It's amazing! At the top of the 200 feet they hold you over the edge as you look straight down for about 5 seconds :P SO fun!!! ♥♥♥

This was Scorpion. You can see TJ with Brena - TJ has the blue shirt on and Brena is right next to him. The kids couldn't get enough of this one.

This wasn't a huge ride, but it was SO fun. It's one where they take you up, then drop you, take you back up and drop you, over and over. Seriously tickles your tummy.

Another water ride, figured I was already soaked, why not get more wet?

TJ and Tyler going up Gwazi...TJ's got his arm up in the air, second car from the front. Tyler's on the other side of him.

Until next year Busch Gardens!
