Alligator Farm

Look at this big grin!
Welcome to the Alligator Farm
in St. Augustine, Florida.
Don't ya just love that welcoming
smile that Charlie is giving us?
He was glad to see us.
As well as his homeboyz,
Leroy, Calvin and Homer.

And all of their cousins
were there to greet us too.
We got there around 10:00 A. M.
and it wasn't to busy but by the time
we left the place was packed.
Who knew that sunny Florida was
the place to be the day after Christmas?
It took the girls a little bit to warm
up to the idea of looking at
these 'hooge' gators.

But it wasn't long before some
of us got very brave and even
dared the gators to bite us.

I can say that Shelby didn't think

that up on her own, Aunt Emmy

had to show her how first.

They had a kids zone.

Both girls enjoyed playing.

They enjoyed driving around with

a jeep full of crazy animals.

Shelby enjoyed riding the giant turtle.

But Reagan couldn't get off fast enough.

She freaked out to say the least.

And I guess there is no lap like

Pop Pop's lap when your eating pop corn.

We went to the beach after the Alligator Farm.

We had lunch after that and

then went to see Madagascar 2 at

the IMAX theater back at the resort.

It was a wild and crazy but fun day!

We all had a great time.

Glad to see your family had a good time at the Alligator Farm, I believe my family has been to this same farm, but it's been years since we went.

I want to go!!! Next time will you invite me? Though, I'll stand in the back "hooge" gators are a little scary. I would like to ride in the car with the crazy animals.

I remember taking my grandkids there a few years ago when we visited the warm south. Sorry that you people could play in the warm sun, but here you could go ice skating for snowboarding. Auntie Betsy

You paid a bundle to get to see these aligators but Harry, Travis, Josh and I saw just about as many and as big as that when we went fishing a few years ago at Volusia Landing south of Palatka. It was while Harrison was on his Mission.

I would like to go back there fishing again some time.

Love,
Papa
