We joined many of the wedding guests for swamp boat rides to meet the alligators and wildlife. Daddy took off on an airboat tour with an old friend so they could wear goggles and go super fast. Jonah and Mommy took the slow boat, which was just like the Disney jungle cruise ride without the track. Terrible jokes included: 'See that alligator with the crooked tail? We call that "reptile dysfunction"!' It was very pleasant with a shade canopy and slight breeze.
Mommy did not appreciate that the guide kept referring to Jonah and Elena as nuggets for the gators! Mommy was very cautious about avoiding a Michael Jackson moment, but we did get close to the railing. Jonah gazed around the boat and canals with great interest. Later, the guide brought out an alligator head and turtle shell that we could touch (and for Jonah, to taste & "try on") which were much more to his liking. He makes a cute Ninja-Turtle, no? Then out came a live gator for everyone to hold and pet!
At the end, we all cooled off in the hotel pool. It looked like spring break out on the rooftop!
