Cypress Gardens

We went to Cypress Gardens with Grandmommy and Joyce. It was a great place to go. Not only was is fun (my kids love flowers and nature) but there were no people there. We had the place to ourselves, with the exception of a few workers.

We found our first alligator! ;)

This flower was called the shrimp flower....interesting
pretty
We were walking around the butterfly house and found these cool caterpillars.
Our favorite alligator find was actually not one in the wild. Katherine was having a starting contest with it.
Hudson reading about the little lizard friend
Lauren and Grandmommy (she's now taller than Grandmommy)
We found 4 baby alligators....even if you can't see them well in the picture. All the alligators were trying to stay cool in the swamp.
We only lost one kid to the alligators...so sorry Regan :) haha!
We're going on a gator hunt...

On the way home got a crazy flat tower.
Benjamin learned how to change a tire and put on the spare.
hard at work
finally got the van to a service station....it started raining so all the kids were hangin out in Grandmommy's van (Thankfully we had the flat before we got too far away)

I think we wore them out! Haha!
