YIKES!
Lots of alligators!
Despite the fact that the alligators are used to being around people in this national park, they are STILL wild animals. This one was coming up out of the water, with very little space between him and these people taking photographs. There were even people who let their kids get very close. They are used to people, yes, but that doesn't mean that one won't grab you and drag you into the water!
Just looking for some warm sunshine!

This kid had it made!
I love my time spent in this beautiful National Park!
The day concludes with a FANTASTIC milkshake from Robert is Here!
