Gatorland

This post is long overdue, but that seems to be the way things are going down around here.  Lately it seems I haven't been able to get ahead.  I don't know about you, but it seems just as a get my to-do list all checked off, ten more things find their way right back onto my list. Sigh!  Oh well, better late than never.

Last month while we were in Florida we spent an afternoon at Gatorland.  I was excited to do something out of the ordinary and couldn't wait to see P's reaction to those giant creatures.  I was a bit excited myself.  

^^^ P hushing the alligators to sleep. ^^^

There were hundreds of baby gators.

^^^ This guy was a monster. ^^^

I was so happy when I saw that they sold Dippin Dots!  It reminded me of my favorite childhood treat.  I don't know what it is about that ice cream, but that texture gets me every time.

As soon as I spotted the baby gator and snake, I knew we had to get a picture.  All of the girls were terrified of the snake and it was pulling teeth to get one of them to sit by me.  It was awesome! 

^^^ I'm pretty sure P didn't leave her Uncle Buzz's arms the entire vacation. ^^^

^^^ The albino gators were pretty neat! ^^^

We attended the gator wrestling show.  It was pretty entertaining, even though I was a little disappointed in the size of the alligators he wrestled.... I guess I don't blame him though!

All of us girls took our turn getting our picture taken with the gator.

^^^ P kept petting the alligator like it was a kitty. ^^^

^^^ We were able to feed them with hot dogs. ^^^

^^^ Taking a train ride with daddy. ^^^

Anytime P spots a snack she yells EWWWW.  She gets that from her daddy.

It ended up being such a fun day!  P loved every second.  It's a must see if you are in the Orlando area.
