So we went on a Night Aligator Boat Tour & boy was I nervouse! Yes we brought both kids we thought about leaving Ashton with our friends but decided not to but after we wish we would of. The boat was really loud and we did not know the kids would have to be in life jackets and Ashton did not like that one bit! We saw about 15 Aligators which actually is a small number compared to what they usually see the guy said! Florida recently exp. a water shortage which was about ready to close down all of these tours because the water was so low the boats could not drive around in them with out getting stuck which drove all the aligators and fish out of the Lakes! But we thought 15 was a pretty good number. We had so much fun it was so crazy driving so late because you were driving in nothing but tall tall sawgrass and you could not see the water it looked like you were just driving on grass kinda scary! Paetyn just loved the aligators and is so obsessed with them now. It's her favorite animal right now! Paetyn really thought the ear plugs that you could wear were really cool. She took some home and will wear them around the house it's so cute she is so smart! I was so impressed she did not have a hard time with the life jacket at all she did awesome! We saw a pretty Big aligator he was a 10footer it was scarry because he headed right towards our boat fast because the light our tour guide shines on them blindes them! The pictures did not turn out amazing and some we did not get pics of because they were on the opposite side of the boat that we were on. We had so much fun it was an awesome exp...
