A Case of the Grumps

Saturday we decided to spend some "quality" family time together and visit a state park here with wild alligators. Perhaps I should preface that we all stayed up til midnight (even kolby) and there were no naps to be had. Because of a nameless Walgreens employee who cannot seem to fill ink cartrigdes but doesn't mind taking my money, we could not print off our handy-dandy mapquest directions. We thought we'd wing it. Its a state park for crying out loud. Turns out we got horribly lost in the middle of no where, the kids were screaming their heads off and we were pressed for time. Daniel and I decided we needed to install an eject button under each of the carseats for future car-ride-tantrums. After finally making it to the park no one was in the mood for pics, thus the photoless post. We walked around and the beautiful weather seemed to lift all our spirits. Then we saw a mama gator with her 20 babies just two feet away from us. No gates. No signs. Nothing. It was very cool but somewhat odd to think that they let people get so close to such a dangerous creature. Wish I took my camera. If any of you were cool enough to come visit me I'd take you there....provided that you refrain from screaming while in the car.
