Feeding and Holding Alligators

The other main attraction of Alligator Alley is watching a live feeding. It was very impressive and educational.

Wes "rang the dinner bell" by beating on the cooler
that held the chicken quarters

Wes just threw a chicken to the alligator in the water,
notice the splash ring around it's face.

After Wes was done with the feeding, he invited the kids to the 1 year old pen of alligators. We happened to be the first in line, and Trevor got to hold the tape that Wes used to tape the alligator's mouth shut. I didn't know if Trevor would want to hold the alligator once it was right in front of him. But he LOVED it. After his turn, he wanted to hold it again!




We didn't get too many pictures of Evan that day because he spent most of the time sacked out in the back pack carrier!
