We took David & Luke on our first hike in Florida today. It was supposed to be a short 3-mile round trip hike, but due to unforeseen circumstances, had an additional 2 miles added for a 5 mile hike! The trail is reported to have "hundreds of alligators" along the way. Note all of the signs warning of the dangers of alligators. You literally walk along a path along some lakes and swamps in Paynes Prarie, a state park just on the south end of town. Luckily we did see about 3-4 alligators - 2 of which are in this one photo; 1 in the water swimming and 1 on the far bank of the water. David was thrilled! No worries though we all made it back to the van safe and soggy due to a surprise rainstorm that soaked all of us, except for Baby Luke in his carrier. Luke slept for the bulk of the hike and both kids fell asleep on the way home, so we had a quiet afternoon!
