The next day we were off to Gatorland, I have never seem so many massive gators in one place in my life. We even saw snakes and rare white alligators. I knew that the boys would love it and the adults did too. We caught all of the shows including alligator wrestling and watching them "jump" out of the water for food.
Next day, off to play putt putt at Congo River. Jack had his reservations, he was sure that it wouldn't be fun, but was quickly converted. Sam actually had a lot of fun climbing on the rock formations, which were pretty cool. A delightful bonus at Congo River was fishing for baby alligators. Small chunks of hot dog at the end of a fishing pole are apparently extremely inviting to these little guys. It was so much fun that I had a hard time deciding which pictures to include. Afterward, I held one of these small gators so we could see them up close and personal and learned that the hissing sound that they make is a call for mama gator.
As promised, we made a stop at Tastee Treat for ice cream. Mint chocolate chip was the flavor of choice for the guys.
We blew bubbles, played catch, ate pizza, went swimming every day followed by popcorn and hot cocoa and had a simply wonderful time. There is nothing quite like seeing the world through the eyes of a child.
