Alligator Farm

Michael's mid-day snack

This leathery friend is three years old. It was amazing how strong he was. Slippery little suck!

Madelyn wanted to hold him, but there was no way she was going to avert eyes from the little gator to look at the Camera.

April, Aubrey, Cayden and Matt

I think Cayden would have taken him home if April would have let him.

On the other side of the Alligator lake is a Reindeer enclosure, I wonder if this is considered teasing.

The "S" shape movement they make in the water is very gracefully, so wonder they can sneak up on their prey.

I would not want to stumble across this guy along the shore.

"Big Daddy"

Seriously, they looked like statues until you see them making a tiny movement.

Cayden is a ladies man. They were so cute holding hands and walking around.

Ms. Aubrey taking in the view. Such beautiful eyes!

It was amusing to see them piled up on each other, and some of the alligators were perched so far over the edge, I kept watching for the bottom guys to move and the rest of the alligators fall into the water.

You would think that if you were nice and feed this obnoxious white Llama, that he would at least not be mean and spit on you. Oh no! I got nailed when he realized that I did not have any food left in my cup. Mean old Thang!

Save the Drama for your Llama

This little Joey was so soft.

Feeding the Kangaroos

Madelyn wanted to see the Ostrich, but not be any where near him.

Pygmy goat. This adorable dwarf came up to Madelyn's waist. She wanted to feed this one, because she said it was her size.

Exhausted after a long day, they watched a movie together.

The two buddies played so well together.

We spent the weekend in Shreveport Louisiana visiting some great college friends of mine--Matt and April. Ten years ago we swam together at Austin College and now look at us married with children. Oh my gosh we are getting old, but having fun in the process. We took the kids to the Gator and Friends Farm in Greenwood, just inside the LA border. Nestled in the Piny Woods, we all had fun looking at the Alligators and petting some furry friends.
