Swinging And Seeing Alligators

I'm discovering that no matter where you are, it can be difficult to keep two small children occupied all of the time! This morning, we decided to take the girls to try out a new park, since mom and dad were home all day. It didn't have a huge playground, but it did have swings and a large, fenced-in pond. We had fun taking turns on the swing, and as we started to walk around the pond, we saw signs that said, "WARNING: ALLIGATOR HABITAT". Bella was thrilled! After that, she kept her eyes peeled in hopes of seeing an alligator peek his eyes up out of the water. 

And we actually saw one! I haven't seen an alligator close-up in years, and it was fun to watch him swim around! Bella spotted him first (I'm telling you, she's got crazy hawk vision) and she yelled out, "I see one!!!"

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It was beautiful weather this morning, and it was fun to get out of the house and play! On the way home, we drove past a little park that had a play area with water - it squirted water up out of the ground that little kids can run through. I'm pretty sure we will be checking that out tomorrow!

Can't wait to meet Steve tomorrow night for dinner in Tampa and spend the night with him while the girls stay with Papa and Mimi!
