Summer Nights

When you live in Tampa Bay, it is a necessity to have have annual passes to Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. Either you are going to the parks or one of the kids friends are going to the parks. Either way, you need a pass.

Our "understood" family rule is that we do not go to Busch Gardens (or any theme park) from April 15 - September 15th, it is just too hot. But we will go to Summer Nights at Busch Gardens. The park stays open to 10pm and they have some cool street music and entertainment, it is cooler weather wise and the lines are shorter. The kids think they are breaking some serious rules by staying out after dark! Ha Ha.

Here is a video of Trevor running through the water ..... It was about a million humid degrees at 9pm at night, well okay, it was about 85 degrees but the humidity was wicked! They needed to cool off! He is with his friend Aiden and my friend Susie ... Susie is the fun one, I'm the photographer !!

Here are some pictures of our 1st trip to Summer Nights.......
