Alligator Angels

Our Memorial Day was spent partly by enjoying this great land -- the Everglades of Florida. We headed over to St. Cloud to Wild Willy's Airboat Tours. The folks there were very nice. The girls donned their life jackets; we all put on our hearing protection; and off we shot across the lake. We managed to see a momma alligator and her babies, various birds, snail kite hawks (endangered), an eagle, flowers, snails, and swimming rabbits (although they were on dry land at the time). We even got to hold, pet, and kiss Thunder (the "pet" alligator) when we were all done. The girls loved it. They were able to bring home flowers, snail shells, and one of the boat captains even drew pictures for the girls.
