Shark Valley

Doug finished his Dental Boards on Friday and we were in desperate need of a nice break. Luckily he had Monday off for Martin Luther King day and we were able to take a day trip down to Shark Valley with the Claytons. We saw probably 30 alligators in the first 3 miles of the trip. It was a perfect day and we had lots of fun biking with the kids. Dallin loved the giant "Daddy" alligators and Brooke was always looking for the families..."a Daddy, Mommy, and a baby one." We hit the jackpot with the babies towards the end of our trip and Brooke was thrilled. It was beautiful and we were able to see lots of wildlife and enjoy the Everglades.

What a fun activity. I can't believe how close you got to the alligators!! Happy Birthday to Brooke! It looks like you had a great day as a family. Nothing beats presents, balloons, chucky cheese and cake! Congrats to Doug too.

So Fun! I am still so sad that we never did this. What were we thinking. I think we need to make a trip back.
