Alligator Farm

Yes, that is right, we went to an alligator farm. We came home with all of our body parts still attached to so I deem this a success:). On Saturday while Landon was with us we headed down to see the gators. A bit after we got there they told us that a gator had been caught and was being brought to the farm. They brought it in and the kids got to sit on him. The camera people are there because they are filming for a cable show, "Gator 911", I think it is called. Anyway, you can tell how much McKade liked the gator. He was trying to hit the guy for having him touch the gator.






We then got to hold this 18 month old gator. He is safe to hold because he was born with a dislocated jaw and so he can not close his mouth, therefore he cannot bite. What a miserable life!



The kids even got to hold this python. Well, Bodin would not hold him, and it took a lot of convinving to get Landon to do it, but he did. McKinna did it with no trepidation. You go girl!!


This was a very fun place, and I must say I actually learned a lot from their presentation.

Shani, that looks so col. Colton would love it! He really wants to go there now. I like your long hair and I think you look really pretty! We were watching our wedding video with the kids the other day and we saw you and Ben in it (pre-children). It was so funny to see how you both have changed! Love ya! Janess

Wow! So many fun things to do right around you. Can't wait to see you guys again. Hopefully you'll make it down this summer. Tell the kids hello for us.

Looks like fun! I love the picture of McKade trying to hit the guy- he's getting his point across! And the one with McKinna and the snake- she looks a little too comfortable there! Miss you guys!!
