Busch Gardens Nov. 2008

we arrived in florida and played with mimi in the sun. these pictures are from the beginning of november when we went to tampa to visit my mom. i'm not too fond of places like busch gardens, but my brother had a free pass, and i knew it was a good place for zoey to explore so we went. we had a great time. it was hard to get smiling pictures of zoey because she was so amazed.

gorillas are so like humans, these two reminded me of me and zoey

end of a LONG LONG day, on mimi's shoulder

cute bird

hanging out with mimi/mom was really great

giver her some birds and get a good smile

luckily zoey pulled back as the bird went to nip her finger
(the poor birds are very sensitive because of kids and others mistreating them, sad)

super zoom lens

these "puppets" were very cool and huge
the one to the left of the man in yellow leaned down its head, into zoey's space and she nearly disolved backward into her stroller seat

right before she got thrown out of the fountain
it was chilly for florida, but zoey didn't mind

dragon carousel (the first time she smiled since we got there 1/2 an hour before)

i was afraid...then had fun
zoey didn't seem to like it or not like it

watching singing princess and prince and some dancing flowers

the woman who took this picture was the quinetsential big black boisterous screaching lady
she was funny, she kept saying "hayyyyy bayyyybeee!" "hayyyayyy" and she had crazy eyes and a loud voice. it was like staring at a stereotype.

playground near mimi's
she liked to look, but not go, down the slide

let me out of here!
