Summer Fun at Alligator Alley

We decided to take a quick trip across the bay to Summerdale to visit Alligator Alley.  We had loads of fun!
 
 


 
 
 

 
We needed a small snow cone to cool us off a bit:
 
 
 
 
Everyone had a chance to hold a real alligator.  Alligators are surprisingly soft!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As we began to cross the bridge over the swamp, guess who passed by?  SANTA!  Harris said "I guess even Santa needs a vacation during the summer!"  


 

 

 
 
This is an alligator nest...
 

 
This little guy is named Captain Crunch :)
 
 
 
Waiting to watch them feed the alligators.
 


 
 
 
You could not pay me enough...
 

 
 
 
He fed the alligators whole pigs!
 

 
 
As we watched this guy feed these huge alligators, I leaned over and asked Matt why he thought God made alligators.  He replied, "I don't know, because He can?"  At first, I thought he had given me a lame answer.  But when I thought about it a bit more, I realized that Matt was right.  God doesn't have to have a "reason."  He is the Creator and sometimes, He creates just to show us that He can. 
 
We had such a great day at Alligator Alley.
