Alligator Farm and Swimming at the house!

Today we all got up a little early since the kids were so excited to be on vacation.  This made the grownups a little grumpy, but we worked through it.  We went to an Alligator farm, where we got to feed and pet goats, deer, donkeys and horses.  We got to hold and feed baby Alligators and look at the big Gators too.  We had fun with the Animals.  James especially liked watching the GIANT snapping turtles.  On our way home, we stopped for some ice cream, which ended up being lame, but the kids enjoyed it.   After we got back we had lunch and then we all jumped in the lake.  The water was so nice and warm, 85*!  After swimming, was dinner and bedtime for the kids and a gamenight for the grown ups.  It was a fantastic first day of vacation.
