Gator Farm Friday

Last Friday, we had quite the adventure. A trip to The East Texas Alligator Farm in Grand Saline, Tx. Hagen, my loyal Swamp people viewer was beyond excited. A co-worker and friend of mine,Nina and her daughter Hannah and friend Bree ventured along with us. I was not sure what to expected, but let me just say this is the neatest place and I as pleasantly suprised. The farm is very easy to get to and so clean and beutifully landscaped. There are so many different types of animals and reptiles, and admission prices are very reasonable. Cooper has decided he wants his next birthday party there and I am very excited about that. The staff is so friendly and assist the children in petting all kinds of animals safetly. The farm is complete with a petting zoo, bounce house, a great concession stand and of course alligators!

Hagen "cautiously" petting the snake, when we first arrived.

Cooper was scared to death when we first walked in, he literraly crawled in the stroller with Harper. But the farm grew on Cooper quickly.

Baby alligators.

Funny faces.

The alligators at feeding time, according to the staff this is only about one quarter of the population of alligators in the farm. They fed them raw chicken.

Harper loved watching the fish. Everytime we would walk away she would start to cry.

Enjoying their "Gator Blood" snowcones.

Overall we had a wonderful time and we definately will be visiting again soon!
