Busch Gardens fun

We live in Tampa so Busch Gardens is right here.  We've always had season passes and for some reason, we've let it slip the past couple of years.  Now that we're on Summer vacation, the kids were begging me to take them. 

So I did. 

Yes.  Me.  Alone.  With 6 kids. 

The trickiest part was the oxygen tank.  This thing is massive.  I bought one of those bags that you slip it in and you can affix it to a stroller or wheelchair.  Great! 

Problem is ... it weighs a lot more than he does so it's not balanced and the thing kept trying to fall over backwards all day.  It was the first time I'd used it so I didn't know until it was too late so we made the best of it.  But I need to rethink this for sure. 

Baby couldn't ride any rides of course but he loved the sights and sounds and just hangin' out. 

It was a great day!

  2. How about a double stroller, jogger style, so Manny and the tank can ride side by side? It also a great spot to put "stuff" you don't want to carry. Looks like a great day, I haven't been in years but no way could I it do in this heat - you amaze me woman!!!
