Mermaids, Roller Coasters & Now Alberto!!!!

Well I promised you all pictures from our weekend!!! We had an awesome time, I did not take a whole lot of pictures because I forgot about my camera. This is a picture from the underwater Mermaid show at Weeki Wachee Springs. The did The Little Mermaid, I know how original, but I really enjoyed it!!! During the show there were fish and turtles swimming all around the mermaids, apparently where they perform at is 14 feet under the water. The waterpark was also neat, 3 of the slides emptied out into the spring and the water was cold. It is 72-74 degrees year round and as warm as that sounds it is still frigid!!!
Here is a picture of my little pearls!!! Aren't they darling!!! They really had a good time, I kept trying to convince my oldest that the mermaid was real but he wasn't going for it!!!
We just so happened to stumble upon this mermaid for a photo opportunity, I can't imagine having to learn how to swim in that lycra tail!! You can see the water park in the back ground.
On Sunday we ended up going to Busch Gardens. Thanks to Anheiser-Busch they honor the military each year with free admission into any one of their parks so we chose Busch Gardens Tampa this year. I was a little hesitant about going, I hate rollercoasters and I would have rather went to Sea World. I was also worried about the crowds, anyone know that a theme park in Florida in the Summer is not a good thing, that is when everyone else and their mother is there. Well Busch Gardens was absolutly empty. I kid you not we rode every single ride in the park and some of them multiple times. I hate the roller coasters but I managed to get over my fear and ride every single one. I think it was a little to do with peer pressure!!!!

This is a computer image of the Sheikra, yes I rode it. I did not take any pictures so I had to find this on the internet. This has a 90 degree drop and 70 miles and hour from 300 feet up!!! I did this last because I was scared shitless. Everyone says that I should be able to ride every single roller coaster in the country now. Gee...I am excited now!! We left the park at 9:30 last night and got home around 2am. We are all tired but all in all we had a great time and I am glad that I got the opportunity to go. Tomorrow is my son's Tonsilectomy. They changed our time from 10am to 6am so I should be in bed right now but I promised everyone that I would post.

Now you see after this awesome weekend we just did escape the grips of Alberto. Apparently we are going to see the effects of the storm this week here on the East coast of Florida/Georgia. We really need the rain my baby grass is looking sad but its hanging on.

For all of you that read about my pool dilemma, we are over it now, the pool is nice and clear. I have put so much chlorine in it that I am sure it is safer to drink than the city water!!!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend...........
