Gatorland

Gatorland is an old Florida theme park that can be described in two words: Redneck Kitsch.

Lisa, me, Hammy & Hampy all herded the kiddos into 2 cars and took ’em all down to see the sights. We had a ball.

Isaac… AG’s bestest buddy

 

Now for the highlight of our day. The BFF and I had a ball watching this… which probably reveals a bit too much about our character. Now… brace your little selves… we fully enjoyed the Gator Jumparoo show. That’s right… the BFF and I were letting our inner redneck fly free as we watched a gator jumpin’ show.

Lisa and I laughed ourselves stupid watching this show. And I really needed that. We had a great day. Not exactly high class entertainment but we had a great time.

  1. I have a backlog of blogs so I missed all your goings on! I fully understand your ire at the way AG was tested – how could she possibly have done her best? But I think your “plan” is a very good one!

    Love the gator jumping – if it makes you smile, let your redneck flag fly girl!! :)

  2. Just caught up with your blog – haven’t had it on my blog list for some reason, so temporarily forgot about you. I love, love little Shelley the Hedgehog! Very cute! I hope you can re-do AG eval. and get a more accurate result!

  3. Gatorland is a favorite of my hubby’s when we travel down to your neck of the woods. I have never been a huge fan of the place, but the kids loved it too the last time we went.

    Love the pic of Anna Grace and her bestest buddy holding hands … too sweet.

  4. aww…my legally blind Grandpa drove us there one time. I don’t know what was more exciting…the drive or the gators. Actually, we have an awesome picture of me and my sister in our cutoff cord shorts and Mork and Mindy suspenders holding a baby gator!
