On Saturday we decided to take the boys over to Alabama to see the alligators. It's only about 30 miles from our house and such a fun drive! Ryker absolutely loved all of the alligators! He prays for Pickles (the one he was able to pet) and the big alligators every single prayer. Right when we got there we had 5 minutes before they were going to do the scheduled live feeding. We rushed over to the bleachers since they wouldn't be doing another feeding for 3 more hours! It was awesome! I've never seen so many alligators in one place in my life! And not to mention I've never seen alligators that big before!!! But they would tap on their ice chest to let the gators know that it was feeding time and you would just see them swim towards the bank, get out of the water, and wait to be fed. After the feeding we went over and met Pickles, Ryker knew it was a "baby alligator" so he would say in his high pitched voice (when something is baby and sweet related) "awwww baby alligator awww" and wasn't one bit afraid to pet him! The lady told us his name was Pickles, and now that's all Ryker talks about. We then followed the path to the swamp to see all of the larger alligators. It's a wooden bridge path above the swamp that has gates up so you can fall into the water. We also bought this food to feed the alligators with which was so fun. Ryker loved picking an alligator out and throwing the food at him and watching it go for it immediately. It really was so fun at the alligator farm!
This picture doesn't even do this alligator justice, he was HUGE

I love this picture because this is Landons "shy face". Ryker has and never was shy but Landon does get shy and I love this cute little thing he does when he is being shy
