Epic Crocodilian Road Trip Day 2 - Gatorland

Okay, let me just say this.  If you have a crocodilian obsessed kid, you owe it to them and yourself to take them to Gatorland.  I don't care how kitschy and "Old Florida" you've heard this place is, we had a blast.

Feeding gators, watching the jumparoo, holding a gator.  This was a big day for our guys.

Hotel pool after Gatorland was a lifesaver.

I've decided to start counting half meltdowns, because I feel like our halves are the worst part of other people's week.

The number of people who stopped me to tell me some version of how dangerous it was to let Auggie mess with turkey vulture feathers was... something.  I don't know, I mean I appreciate people trying to look out for each other.  But one, check your facts.  Two, we're literally waiting in line to go into the alligator enclosure, but you're worried about the feathers?  Okay.  Three, let me show you what's going to happen if I draw a hard line about this... your neurological kids are not my kids.    In other news, if upcoming reports feature zoonotic diseases or bird lice, well, maybe I'll rethink my position on this topic.

Enjoy this photodump.
