While grandma Kathy was visiting us a couple weeks ago, we decided to head on over to St. Augustine and take the kids to an Alligator farm. I've been dying to go and see these beasts. I think Jackson has anxiously been waiting to spot one as well, but we unfortunately haven't been graced by their appearance yet! So what better place to see one and with a wall in between us! This place was awesome, they had the safari theme again, beautiful parrots just hanging around in the open, awesome reptile exhibit, zip lines all over the park and much much more. We spent most of the day here and when we were done, we drove downtown to see what it looked like. Beautiful!
Jackson and Tanner just as we were heading in the park.
This albino alligator looked like it was made out of clay. Kind of creepy looking!
One of the many open areas with alligators. I'm not sure what kind they are, but you'll see the difference in some that are pictured below. These aren't as dark and the snouts are shorter then some or these may be longer. Who knows, I'm just showing the pictures! lol
There was a lady in this exhibit touching his tail and taking a picture with him! She was nuts, that thing could have whacked her one!He was being nice and smiling for me though! Maybe he was saying aaahhhhhhh!
Isn't she pretty! lol This one totally reminds me of the movie Ice Age!
I really like this picture, thank god there was glass between us!
Jackson was so proud of the lizard he caught. My nature boy, he must take after me!
Wow, your almost there Jackson!
These are the darker of the gators. There had to have been a hundred of them in there. Some in the water and a ton on the land.
This particular alligator had to have been King Kong of them all. He was not only BIG, he was GINORMOUS! I'm not even kidding. His paws were 3x the size of my hand. He was a beast. I wouldn't want to fall in the water with this guy.
Tanner exploring everything. It was nice that we went on a weekday. The kids got to run around and not really bother anyone.
Aren't they cute? The kids that is! I love how Tanner didn't even bother to touch it or bother it much. He just sat there and let Jackson do his thing. Jackson loved that he got to hold this little guy. He once saw one at the Mississippi State fair, but he was Tanner's age and only looked at it. He wasn't to sure either.
After we were done at the farm, we headed over to see this beautiful light house. Not to sure on the history of it, but its got to be super old. There really are so many things to see here. So much history and so much beauty. The coast line on the East coast is so different!
