GATORLAND


On our first day in Florida we visited
Gatorland... it started as a gator sanctuary and now
is HUGE and a pretty big tourist attraction
Ally and Travis enjoyed seeing the gators of all sizes
Above, Ally poses with an albino gator
There are only 12 in the entire world and this place
has about 5 of them... they were discovered deep
in a Louisiana swamp and moved to Gatorland


Below, we watched a gator wrestling show
very fun and entertaining!

At the end of the show they asked for people from
the crowd to come down and "wrestle" really just sit
on a real gator. We asked Ally and she said "NO!" then
we asked Travis and he was very excited to do it!


After seeing her baby brother wrestle a gator
Ally became brave and wanted to do it too!

Riding the train around gatorland.
Ally, Daddy and Travis ate some gator ribs and gator
nuggets for lunch... no joke!


They have a great water play area for kids to unwind...
