Got some better shots of the white alligators, there seemed to be more light and less glare today. Two of the four were in the exact same place as we saw them last time.
Kaleigh wishing she could get closer to the goats that Baapa and Riley were feeding.
Riley did very well today, he got pretty close and would have let the goat eat out of his hand but the kernel of corn rolled out before the goat could get it.
Doing what she does best: Looking cute.
Riley was really checking out the gator.
This was out in the swamp walk and looked like it should have be a miniature forest with fireflies in it.
Then we got out in the breeding marsh, last year there were only one or two males grunting but this year it seemed like they all were. The whole boardwalk was rumbling, it was really something. I missed the big tussle but Andy, Nikki, Dan, and the kids saw it. I was hanging back to look at the birds and then there was a gator under the boardwalk just rumbling away. The whole thing was very fascinating.
The males puff themselves up and go up and down in the water and then push the front half of their body out of the water.
The kids found it pretty interesting.
There weren't as many birds as last year but we saw lots of nests.
This is the water park at Gatorland. The water was very cold and hit you like a ton of bricks, this is according to Andy because I sure didn't get wet.
Riley really would have liked to spray me, but luckily they weren't working. He kept trying though.
Going through the water with Dad.
Kaleigh wasn't very sure about this.
I think the face says it all, "How could you have done this to me Dada?"
And then he stood under the bucket and it dumped on their heads.
Just having more fun.
After Gatorland we swung by Target to exchange a shirt and then it was off to Olive Garden for lunch. I thought we might have to wait but we beat the crowd. It was there when we left and the line was quite long. Lunch was very good and we had enough left over so everyone had dinner for tonight.
