The Everglades

This past March some of Emilee's family were able to visit. Raymond, Kendall, John and Carolyn all made the trip to South Florida. Among other things, we were able to visit the famous Florida Everglades. We went to a place named Shark Valley, rented bicycles, then biked around a 15 mile loop in the middle of the Everglades and saw some incredible wildlife. I was told that you could see over 100 alligators if you made the 15 mile bike trip, but I think we saw over 200! There is no fence or anything for that matter to keep the gators from getting you so it's best not to get too close (they advise you stay at least 15 feet away from the gators at all times). We had a good time and everyone stayed safe. Kudos to Carolyn for biking the whole trail while being pregnant; she's a trooper.
