Believe me when I tell you that there really is no other place in the world like the Everglades in Florida! My friend Diana and I took our children on a day trip down to see the alligators and other wildlife there. Did you know that Florida has panthers? True. We didn't see any this time, but we saw a sign for Panther crossings. Also as a side note...off the freeway on the way to Church we saw a sign: Caution-Manatee. What wildlife we have here!
Just checking out the visitors center...
Don't get too close to the water, or you may end up as a snack!
The only kind of panther I want to see...a statue.
Can you see the alligators?
At one point, we were 3 feet away from a teenage size alligator. There was nothing to stop him from coming closer. That was just when I decided that I wanted to be in the safety of the van. 
In addition to the alligators, there were also tons of buzzards. Scary, demonic looking birds. They just sat waiting for something to get attacked so they could get in on the action. I am happy to report that Luke and Miriam and Kairi successfully avoided being eaten!
