We went to some alligators tours and we saw the mama alligator! We thought it was amazing. We all had a good time there and after that awesome activity we went to eat lunch at the house. That afternoon we went to the beach and everyone except me, made big dugout holes. Then we went to the house to dry off and then we went to a restaurant.

Ben really wanted to see alligators, so he planned the trip to see the gators. He was ecstatic about holding one!
After touring the zoo-like area, we took a bus to the water, then we got on one of those really loud, fast boats that fly over the water. There were just a few moments we slowed enough to get an in-focus picture.
As we were riding the bus back, we were all invited to sign the walls of the vehicle. I was next to Ben and watched him write B.R.T.E. He explained to me what it stood for and that stuck in my brain and is how I referred to our trip the rest of the week: Best Road Trip Ever!
We spent another afternoon at the beach, but this time we had [cheap] snorkel gear for everyone. Maddie enjoyed being a sand architect, and all of the kids and Allen dug big holes that filled with water as the tide came in.
Dinner was tasty chaos as we headed to the food trucks. There was another storm brewing as we each tried to find just the right meal... then find enough table space for all of us where we would stay dry. It was a quick rain, then we wandered through the town, the kids ran at the park, and Allen and I sat and watched.
