Gatorland

So we picked a day to go to Gatorland, hoping for no storms.  We picked the right day!  It was super hot.  So hot that it felt like the life was being sucked out of you!  We arrived right before 3:00, so we had 2 hours of Gatorland time.  It was plenty of time for us and the kids, although, there are ways to take up more time if needed.  The kids enjoyed seeing all of the alligators and crocodiles.  I am so thankful that we were able to go!  We were able to see 2 shows while we were there, which the kids loved!  Josiah was excited to see the Burmese python, which he had recently seen on a tv show.  I had read mixed reviews about Gatorland.  Some people loved it, and some not so much.  For our family, it was great.  The boys, especially Josiah, love alligators and crocodiles.  I would recommend Gatorland for people who REALLY like alligators.  And, I definitely recommend going at the end of the day to go for 1/2 price!
