Hunting Alligators

Today we went on a little excursion to Everglades Holiday Park, taking an airboat out into the everglades in hunt of alligators and others that call the wetlands home.

Waiting for our turn on the boat

The tour was about an hour, probably about 30 minutes more than Luke could handle and 15 more than the other two found interesting. Most of the trip was slow as we looked around, often circling around to see spotted wildlife. For a few short seconds the boat really hauled ... something I thought was pretty fun. Brooke, however, was far from impressed. 

We did spot a few alligators of different sizes. It was pretty cool! All the kids were impressed with the first spotting, but by the last (maybe 4 or 5) they couldnt care less. Been there, done that.

 

Luke, however, was isanely impressed with a peacock that was hanging out on the grounds. So, at least some element of wildlife caught his attention.
