For Spring Break I took the children to an Alligator park. You walk along pathways that gators cross and are right there in the water. It sounded pretty
scary, but my friend that I went with, assured me it was safe. I felt safe, but looking back at the pictures, I wonder if I should have felt that way. It was a lot of fun and the kids absolutely loved it.
Read the sign. And we took our kids there?



Spencer (above) is checking out the momma alligator and her 11 babies as shown in the picture below.

The babies are kind of
camouflaged, they have yellow stripes.

Taneal,
Camie, and Spencer are standing on the sore near the mom and babies. You can barely see the mom between
Taneal and
Camie's elbows.

Check out that snapper!

This alligator is sliding into the water.

And Spencer doing what little boys do best.


Right before we took this picture
Taneal noticed a HUGE snake by their feet in the grass. We thought it was dead at first and then it
slowly slithered away into the water. I took a picture of it and asked the ranger to identify it. It was a water snake but not
poisonous.

Everyone that wanted was able to pet the real baby alligator held by the ranger.

We went at the beginning of February and only saw 3 from the distance. It looks like you had a great time and a good alligator turn out.
The only thing that worried me was that in most of the pictures, the kids have their backs turned to the alligators! Aaaaahhh!
