Gatorland Zoo

Gatorland Zoo

This morning we got up bright and early and set off for Orlando. First stop was Gatorland Zoo and Colin was very excited to see all the alligators. We wandered around and taught Colin the difference between a crocodile and an alligator. He got pretty good at being able to tell the difference all by himself. We sat for a picture with a big snake around our necks and holding a baby alligator, Colin didn't want the snake near him but he was all about holding the gator. We watched a couple animal shows and then went to see the gator wrestling show. At the end the kids could come up and pay to get their picture taken sitting on the back of a 6 footer and Colin could barely stand to wait in line. We figured he'd be scared once he got up there and it was his turn but that was definitely not the case, he hopped right on and knew just what to do! We had a great afternoon, snapped some beautiful pictures and then headed off to the hotel. It was so exciting to drive through the Disney property gates with Colin, such fun. We got checked into our room at Shades of Green, unpacked some and checked out the pool.
