Ryan, Debi, and Toren Cragun's Blog

Toren found a turtle to ride at Busch Gardens one day:

"This one seems slower than most."

Someone at Busch Gardens had an interesting idea.  Rather than just allow people to get close to tigers by looking at them through a glass window, why not allow people to actually be under the tigers (by climbing up into a plastic box that they like to lay on)? Toren and I found this one day and now he loves to climb into the box:

Toren and I are just under the tiger in a little box that you can climb up into.

It probably feels something like this:

"I think my legs are gone for good." :(

Really, this should be an easy one:

Toren's hair. (And a mighty sexy pose, I might add, with his chest hanging out like that and all.)

Debi's hair.

My hair doesn’t do that.  Toren definitely got his Mom’s hair.

Here are the two static heads together:

"This is how hair is done right!"

And one more:

Toren is pretty oblivious about his hair and what it's doing, but he sure thought Debi's hair was funny.

My Mom (Ryan’s Mom, Eugenie) hates motorcycles.  She’s like the mother in The Christmas Story who kept repeating, “You’ll shoot your eye out,” except she would say, “You’ll kill yourself.”  While, statistically, she’s right that the odds are higher, I don’t think the way Toren rides is quite the same:

He looks serious enough, but come on: he has a seat belt on!
