Visit to the St Augustine Alligator Farm
Pretty sure the boys will remember their visit to this venue. The Farm itself has been around forever, and while it's very pricey to visit, the boys totally enjoyed themselves. Yes, that's a live gator they are holding, it's mouth was taped shut for protection, but still, the experience is very real.
An example of some of the larger animals in the collection. There was something like 400 or so of the reptiles, including both gators and crocadiles, ranging from very tiny to these big boys. They have a natural "swamp" area built that has a terrific example of how life co-exitsts down here in the swamps.
In addition to all the reptiles, they also had monkeys, and lots and lots of beautiful birds on display. This is some sort of a toucan. Got a pin for the collection, and the boys got lots of things to talk about- especially Cooper, his classes at school at home are discussing the various wildlife of Africa, so now he will be able to add much to the discussion, hopefully!
