Cypress Gardens

We had a very fun and very hot day at Cypress Gardens today. Stella and Thomas love the 'Princesses' walking around...that is the 'Southern Belles' to ya'll. We saw one as we were walking in the front gate:

Thomas was being shy and didn't want his picture taken.

The good thing about Cypress Gardens is that you can do something new each time. This time we started our day with a Pirate show:




Their favorite line of the show was one pirate saying "You know what?" and the other saying "chicken butt". No, we haven't heard that 100x today.

Then, we checked in with the baby wallaby and her momma who were both sleeping:



Wait...what is nelson doing there??


Thomas kept asking to ride the roller coasters!! Daddy and Thomas rode in the front and me and Stella rode in the back of this one:

Now, you are thinking, "wow that is big...weren't the kids scared?"

This was my view of the brave little bunny sitting next to me with both of her hands up in the air!!


They are both so brave. They went on this one too:


I can tell that any day now they will be asking me for the keys to the car and driving off into adulthood!

We walked through the gardens which Tony and I love...





...because the kids wanted to see the butterflies.




It was a great day...complete with dippin dots and two bears that Tony won for the kids! Needless to say, the kids were exhausted!



It was a great day!
