Busch Gardens.

Well I just woke up and it's around 12:45 p.m. that's because last night our family arrived home at 4:06 a.m. I guess it was a pretty good trip, except that the floor of our van was covered with pringles crumbs as the result of a potato chip fight that lala and brent had yesterday morning, and there were damp towels all over the place, and my dad was being a potty-mouth and there were too many sharp turns in the road. But I got a fountain Sierra Mist and a chocolate bar and I survived. When we got home my sister's poor fish Taylor was deceased and I missed my rabbit and my dog and my bettas, but we're getting 2 new goldfish and I'll be seeing all my other pets again within 2 or 3 days.

As for the time at Busch Gardens, I didn't take many pictures because I didn't want to break my camera and I wasn't allowed to take loose articles on most of the rides and i wouldn't want to lose my loose articles anyway, so I didn't bring it. Plus it would have just gotten wet anyway. My sister brought her camera one day, though, the last day we went. She took some sweet pictures and a video of a cute lorikeet bird in the aviary, named Chomp, who seemed to have taken a fancy to her sunglasses, and later on my watch and her camera!!!

My favorite ride at Busch Gardens was their newest roller coaster, called the Griffon. It went over 70 mph, The best part of it was when the car went straight down 205 feet!!! It was the coolest sensation, that made you feel like you were falling. I guess you really were, it just caught you at the bottom. It was the feeling you get in your gut when you're in a car and it goes over a hill and makes you feel like you're flying, except it lasted longer. and some parts you went upside down and it was just totally awesome. The ride was named after this mythical creature, the griffon, that's supposed to be part lion, part eagle. There were some on Narnia and they were one of my favorite charactars. My sister bought a big griffon stuffy and she clawed me a smaller one from one of those arcade machines. I liked all the other rides too.

Well that's all for now. I'll write more on what we did later.

You must have had a great time on the rides I'm sure. We don't really go on rides, but my parents and my brothers and I went on a ride. There was a like straight drop! I was yelling the whole time we were going down the drop. It was like AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
