Once there she bought the package deal to feed, hold and kiss an alligator. The package also came with a souvenir T-shirt, bracelet and gator tooth.
She was so brave.
First it was feeding the alligators. These were baby alligators. We learned how to feed them on land and water. Using turkey hot dog on a fishing pole.
She got one!!!
Then over to the water.
Ally saw me taking pictures and posed. I can’t believe how grown up she looks sometimes.
The looks on Becky and Ally’s faces are priceless.
Aunt Martha let Ally use the last piece of food and try it. Again, the faces and expressions on Becky, Ally and Martha are my favorite part.
The place is also a rescue for a variety of creatures, like this turtle named Rudolph.
But eventually there was no putting it off any longer. It was time for the ultimate experience: holding and then kissing an alligator. As I said at the beginning Martha was very brave. She chose Chip the largest of the available gators, he was about 35 pounds.
She looked a little scared waiting to get her alligator.
There he is
She had to learn how to hold him, and was told he likes getting he belly rubbed.
There she is! It was awesome.
But then she had to kiss him. The handler said she should hold his hands like you would any person you would kiss.
She puckered up and leaned in.
And smacked one on Chip the alligator.
SHE DID IT!!!! Aunt Martha kissed an alligator. Actually she kissed it 3 times so I could get a good picture of it.
