Airboating Through The Everglades
We ventured to Sawgrass Recreation Park to experience the
Florida Everglades. We took an airboat tour and came across a
14 foot alligator. We also enjoyed learning and meeting other
animals in the park's wildlife area.

Returning From Our Airboat Ride
It was approaching dusk as we toured the Everglades, so
the lighting gave everything a nice glow.

Cruising The Everglades
This thing was pretty noisy at high speeds, so
we wore ear plugs.

On The Everglades
You can see the unique environment of this wetland.
When we traveled through the high grass, the sturdy
grass blades whipped you, so you had to stay toward the
center of the boat to keep from being cut.

Another boat came over to where we were in order to see
the alligator we had found.

Watching Us
As we made our way into this alligator's territory, he
came out to keep an eye on us. Alligators usually sleep
during the day and hunt at night, so it was neat to see
this guy.
