We all loved going to this place called Alligator Adventure. There were so many alligators and crocodiles it was amazing. This time of year is their dormant time, so they do not eat all winter long. They all just lay still as can be without even moving an inch. It looked like they were all dead!
The boys not too sure about all these alligators!
Across the pond were all the alligators up on the bank trying to catch some sun!
Up close and personal...I swear I thought he was dead...but I probably would have freaked out if he'd opened his big mouth at me!
I found this crocodile moving as he came out of the water. I didn't get a picture, but later he positioned himself with his mouth open and didn't move for who knows how long! It was funny.
They really are creepy looking..and I sure wouldn't want to find myself on the other side of that fence!
They also had a tiger exhibit...I never did figure out how they acquired tigers when their specialty was reptiles. Anyways, this was their feeding time.

This is an albino alligator. It just layed dead looking in the water.
The boys petting a blue tongue skink (South African lizard)
Getting a close look at a young alligator. Interestingly, this gator had just peed all over the caretaker!
Getting to feel the alligator. I'm not sure if you can tell, but his mouth is taped shut tight with electrical tape!
Ben wasn't too sure about touching this alligator!
The boys with my mom. We loved being able to spend time with her and were glad we were able to have such a great trip. We are grateful for her willingness to share her vacation with us and our crazy kids!
