Florida 10- Part 2 G&G Everglades

We started our second journey of the trip on Thursday.  Headed down to the Everglades to spend some special time with Grandma & Grandpa.  We woke up early and met them at the Lion Country Safari.  As soon as Grandma heard we were coming she named several "must do's" on our trip.  This was definitely one of them.  We hopped in their car and drove through a 4 mile park of animals.  It was AMAZING!  Animals came right up to our window.

The second part of the park is a theme park type where they have rides, fun food and other great things for kids.


This guy was hilarious!  He just wondered around- head down and didn't care who was in his way- they had to move.



I couldn't believe it when I saw that Addison was tall enough to ride this ride by herself!!  Jackson took her for a great ride! I was a little surprised that she wasn't nervous. Of course, she had a smile the entire ride!

Another ride.  A little too small for Jackson.

For $2.50 we got to feed this Giraffe a leaf!  Jackson loved it- Addison was too nervous.

Ferris Wheel!  The kids LOVED IT!  I was VERY nervous when we got up to the top.  You sit at the top a while because they have to load & unload people!  

I had to keep yelling at them to sit on their bottoms!  Ok, maybe not yelling but I was SO nervous and they were SO excited!

Out of a bunch of animals these were Jackson's favorite.  He loves parrots or any type of pretty bird.

The Lions were the only ones that had a double fence between us.  They looked harmless just sacked out sleeping.  They were beautiful.
