Gatorland

The boys and I had an absolutely great time at Gatorland!  Even though it was a bit chilly by Florida standards, we went in February because of the Florida resident discount and Matthew could join us on President's Day.  Chris kindly stayed home with Amber, so I was free to just have fun with the boys, and fun we had!

We spent much of the day just talking with all the boys making observations and asking many questions.  

We walked around looking at the exhibits; cheered on the turtle that needing tipping over in the gator pond; watched people wrestle gators; road a train; shared our food with the birds; watched a comedy show with reptiles; tried to bean some gators with hotdogs (BTW the hotdogs are sold for that purpose - feeding the gators); and finally watched the handlers try to coax the cold gators to jump for their food (they weren't successful but it was funny to see them try).  It was a full and exciting day.  Most of all it was fun to just hang out with the boys listen to them talk to each other and join in the fun from time to time.
