Myakka River State Park- Gator Gal

We visited one of Florida's oldest and largest state parks the Myakka River.  When we think of Florida we think of Alligators so we took a ride on the GATOR GAL to see some Florida Gators!  The boat ride was long and VERY cold.  But well worth it, I have never been so educated about alligators before.

Nash was a pretty good boy for how cold it was.  

Once we crossed the lake we found a pod of alligators.



They were everywhere...even peeking up out of the water in some places...
We also learned about and saw A LOT of birds.  This bird in the next pictures is called something like a serpent bird where they look like snakes coming out of the water.  I got a picture of it catching a fish...
More Myakka River State Park Pictures to come!  Sorry our Florida trip is taking so long to post about.
