Chubby Checker

We enjoy the topiary animals at Busch Gardens. Looking back at past blogs, by the time we leave this area you should know all about Busch Gardens and will know what to look for around the park.

this week it was Chubby Checker.
We were sitting center and we heard the band more than him for most of the concert. found out we should sit a little to the side and the vocal sound comes out much better. the "Wildcats" were good, and as usual loud.

Linda and I decided that he had on a wig. Just too precise to be real hair. And he is 69. So maybe he prefers a wig over dyeing his hair. If he has any. Meow!
and his jeans were so tight that all he could do was wiggle his rear. Altho someone said he also had trouble walking. So maybe he has arthritis like most of us at the concert.

He did get a line of ladies up to do some dancing. and then as he was singing "Let's do the Twist" he got the men up on the stage. Now these old guys could twist!!!!

I know, I am old also. But remember, Florida has lots of snow birds and we are all over 60, or 70. Don't even ask my age. I'll tell, but not on line. these concerts during the week are mostly retired people

And I have not seen a retired person on Sheikra. That is a 200 foot drop when it comes down. and then there is another drop, a little shorter. And then thru some water. The spray is mostly behind and comes out over a walk way. so people on the ground standing near by get wet, but those on the Sheikra do not. when a bus load of students come in the park, you can bet the first place they head to is this ride. All the others are tame, compared to this one. The only one that leaves the ground that we get on is the sky ride. It just glides thru the air from point A--to B to C.

Pictures cannot do some of the floral arrangements justice. so pretty.

Ernie did get a picture today with his cell phone of a baby crane. The parents were walking around and this little guy stayed between them. He was still fuzzy, did not yet have feathers. We were in a sub division and they were checking out the bugs or whatever in the ground.

Talk to you later. jkc
