Getting on the airboat I noticed an alligator in the water- um is that real? It was. It made me really nervous getting onto the boat with it about 2 feet away in the water staring at all of us getting on the boat. Within a min of going we saw this huge 15 foot gator that hangs out in that little bend of the river. 
Paul looking at the big gator.
Me and Darren- we had to wear earplugs cause the air boat was so loud!
Paul- saying he would have saved up his money his whole life to do this. He absolutely loved it- actually we all did!
At our first stop this guy came up and swam around and around the boat checking us out. Another gator checked us out from a distance, but didn't really get close like this guy did.
AHHHH !!! Here he comes!!
See in the back behind Rachie and Paul?
A close up- thank goodness for a telephoto lens!
Erica and a gator.
Me holding Kyle- I really didn't want him to get close to the side of the boat.
We saw a couple of these really cool snapping turtles. They would come up- take a breath and disappear.
More gator pictures. They told us the gators wouldn't attack anything bigger than them- but I swear I have seen gators attack Wilda-beasts on the Discovery Channel. 
After the ride we went to a gator show- where the guy gets in with the gators and does crazy things like put his hand in their mouth. hmm. 
After the show they let my kids hold this baby gator. Paul was in heaven and said he would have gone around the world to do this. 
Ellie being so cute.
Come on Kyle- you can do it!
That thing is almost as big as Kyle!
Rachie with a sign with her nickname- Chickee!!
Our family after a absolutely incredible day. After this picture I took off to the car as fast as possible because there were huge spider webs- and spiders everywhere!! They were all over the chain link fences and over the path- that was scarier than anything for me! I HATE SPIDERS!
And here is the rest of the way home. The kids exhausted from a week full of fun! I love family vacations!
