Our First Visit to Busch Gardens

Matt and I decided when we booked this trip that one whole day would be spent at Busch Gardens since it was less than an hour from where we were staying in Clearwater. We made sure everyone rested and napped the day before and we packed up to visit Evy's first theme park. Busch Gardens was the perfect mix of animals, rides and games and the kids loved it. Evy even rode her first roller coaster - 4 times!

(Charlie riding with his sissy. This was way to tame for them, they were both bored!)

(The end of the day. Charlie won a Minion and Evy won a flamingo. Happy kids!)
