Day Four

Let's go see some alligators.

Aw. These are cute.

Hm. These guys are a bit bigger. And not as cute.

They each took a turn holding the big snake, some kind of constrictor.

E said it felt strong.

These birds are very brave to go on the back of those 'gators.

This bird looked very strange. Still don't know what kind it is.

These I recognized.

These fish are so accustomed to getting food thrown to them that they just all sit at the top of the water.

We spent a bit of time watching them.

There was a guy there wrestling a 'gator.

He sure makes it look easy.

This is the safe side of the fence.

This is not the safe side of the fence.

Getting the 'gator food.

Chow time.

Good thing those guys with sticks are there to keep everyone safe.

Isn't there some rule about turning your back on an alligator?

There should definitely be a rule.

They look happy now they have been fed.

These are alligators from a different part of the park.

These creatures are so elegant.

There was a great play structure.

Goofin' around with a fake alligator.

And we met friends for dinner tonight.

Day Three

And we arrive when it opens.

First stop, race cars. We revisited these later in the day for another spin around the track.

Second stop, roller coaster. (We did this one twice in the a.m. and three times in the p.m.)

This was E's least favourite.

A loved it.

There was a short comedy show. They both loved it.

A little bit of monkeying around.

The ferry over to TomSwyer'sIslnd.

There were lots of places to explore on the island.

Even a fort with guns!

The boys do love their guns.

This is in SwssFmlyRobnsn Treehouse.

E was showing us his moves before getting on the MagcCrpt Ride.

More goofin' around.

We had to have an ice cream break.

The castle changes colours at night. I couldn't decide what colour was the most beautiful.

And the fireworks, wow!

There's no pics of us on the medium-sized rollercoaster but we went on that one three times. The last two times E came with us!
