St. Augustine Alligator Farm

For a summer outing we took the kids back over to St. Augustine. We've been to the beach a couple times already and keep passing the Alligator Farm so this trip we made a point to get out a little earlier to take them! Huge alligators, tiny baby crocodiles, fat alligators, fat crocodiles, exotic birds, turtles, snakes, albino alligators...Just about every type of reptile you can think of! At the snake exhibit Elsie kept saying "No! Snake, don't eat me. Don't eat my Mommy!" The kids enjoyed hopping in and out of the stroller to learn about the new creatures. We were probably there about 3 hours and left just after the alligator feeding. (The handler fed the fat gators these huge dead rats!) We had a few minutes to wait and it was a little hard at that point to keep the kids still because they knew we were headed to the beach afterward. Wil got antsy and we told him we were waiting on the feeding to start. He said, "This is making me angry, I want to go to the beach!" Seeing the gators chomp on the rats put a smile back on his face and then after the gators' lunch we were off to the beach!
