I Love Lions and Tigers and...

While we were in Florida visiting my brother and his family, we spent a day at Busch Gardens having a wonderful time riding rides and checking out the animals. Hamming it up at the entrance to the gorillas.

Brian was such a trooper, everything was new to him and he was in such awe of the roller coasters and animals and all the other sites to see. It was a hot, sunny day and we were all looking for shade and water. While everyone else went on a ride, Brian and I found a cool place (relatively) and had ourselves a drink of water and some goldfish crackers (I smuggled them in) and chatted on how crazy our relatives are for going on those crazy roller coasters.

Brian and I spent most of the day checking out the animals and occassionally Dylan joined us while the older and bigger kids went off on some big rides. The boys discovered a cool place to race boats. We hung out for a little bit - Dylan is quite competitive!

King of the Jungle - he was just hanging out after a long sweltering day in Florida. His girls were over by the viewing glass lounging for the spectators and he was just sitting up the hill under the shade relaxing.

This beautiful tiger was very interested in the people who were interested in him.

These animals are my favorite - my brother Tony and his sons Ian and Dylan.
