day 7-Clearwater Beach -4.30

day 6-My Birthday!!

The first day at Auquatica I did not mention that when Kessler got back to the Hotel after eating dinner he threw up everything he at, I couldn't narrow it down only to maybe heat exhaustion. So we found a Target and bought him a little speedo 50spf hat. No problems that night.

the mamma, cooper and some sun freckles.

Kessler fell in love with the slide, he would go up there by himself and slide down go right back up there and go down again.

Cooper decided to take some photos.

"Firepowa"

A pretty slow day, nice for us.

Bauer did not like the slides very much I think this is the only time he went
down one.

Busch Gardens- Day 5

Alivia and I went on this ride, I decided I don't like taking my child on a ride where I think she might fall out.....even though she said it was fine.

Alivia thought this ride above was 'boring'.

Tired Kess

Busch Gardens had a lot of rides for kids UNDER 48" only. Very cool!

We unfortunatly got a late start to Busch Gardens and Ben was fired up about that. Since we were staying at a time share, we didn't have to listen to their entire spill but they tried to talk us into buying a used one.....no we didn't buy one. We did buy another vacation for 2012. That seems to work out well for us. Not dumping all of the money out at once, but paying for it over time so it is paid for when you go.

Anyway we were only there for about 6 hours, they had some CRAZY rides that I totally would have rode on as a "single" rider but the lines were too long. There were about 3-4 middle schools there for some Physics day.

There is a definte difference between Busch gardens vs. DinseyWorld or even SeaWorld. It was not as clean and it seemed a little bit more "ghetto".

It was fun though so I will give it a 7 on my so popular ratings scale.

Everywhere we had been until then was pretty slow

Aquatica-numero quatro

This park ranks up there with any water park that I have been to or maybe will ever go to. This is a 10 on steroids. (my new rating scale).

It was so kid friendly it was in the SeaWorld family so it some dolphins there as well as a hugs fish tank. The tank with the dolphins actually had a water slide through it, so as you slide by you can see the dolphins in the big tank.

It had a "lazy" river that was not lazy they had the jets on high so it made the river fast and then they slimmed some of the sections to make it like rapids. It was awesome.

Another great feature was the life jackets, tubes, umbrellas were all included in the price and you could bring a cooler with food in it as some other parks don't let you.

LOVED IT, LOVED IT!!!

SeaWorld.
As most of you know the killer whale trainer was killed a little while ago and it has affected SeaWorld according to some of the employee's. The trainers did not get in the water at all with the whales.
However for the dolphin show, that was amazing. The dolphins are so fun to watch. They seem so nice as if you could have one for a pet.

Alivia was chosen to come down for one of the skits, and she was able to 'shake' a sea lions fin.
There were lots of rides and fun things to see and kept the kids busy all day.

SeaWorld was really fun, they had a big section for little kids, Kessler was able to actually go on some rides.
On the new "does Andrea recommend this scale" from 1 to 10 a 1 being NO WAY...to 10 being YES way!!
I would say 10.
