Cypress Gardens Did A Very Good Thing!






They offered admission to everyone today for $5 each. Yes, not a typo! 5 bucks for admission to a Florida theme park! A last minute decision for us had the P.C. and their always ready for a party grandma... strapped into car seats and headed to Winter Haven! We mixed school with fun...visiting the butterfly conservatorium, exotic animals, botanical gardens, and riding lots of makeyourheadspinthenfeelsick rides! They let Katie ride EVERYTHING and so she did with lots of giggles and fortitude. At 36" tall (she's in the whopping 13th percentile!) she's not afraid of anything! Leni found a snake (for real) and the day couldn't have been better. We couldn't get Mom Jo on a roller coaster though!! And last but not least....the lake Cypress Gardens is located on is named appropriately.....Lake Eloise. Our own Eloise had eyes as big as saucers over that one!! (Click on each pic for a up close and personal. Yes, those are my girls on those swings. I was prayin hard Leni wouldn't get any ideas about being a trapeze artist during flight:))

(M.E.'s are you sure you were really there??!! Katie asked all day!!)
