This is the only time of the year when the Florida theme parks are bearable. It isn’t crazy hot and there are no crowds. I love it.

Yesterday I went to Busch Gardens in Tampa.

I love tortoises. I love to watch them eat. I really want one – a small one of course. I don’t want to be trying to get a 100 lb tortoise in the nursing home with me.

There were kitties.

Somedays I feel like I could eat a tree.

It’s very hard work to be a kangaroo. It is important to nap and recharge. All the kangaroos and wallabies were out cold…

…except for me!

I must be getting old. I didn’t ride that many rides. I could have because the park was almost empty. All lot of the coasters were running with empty seats. I was never more than second in line.

But the roller coasters are giving me massive headaches. I’m starting to think that I have a screw loose and the coasters are rattling it. Very sad. Also, I’m starting to think that some things are stupid. That coaster above pauses and hangs the car over that drop for a few seconds. That didn’t look fun to me. *sigh* From here it is a short slide to yelling, “Get off my lawn!”
