We drove about an hour inland from Delray Beach to get to the Everglades. We went to a place called Billy's Swamp Safari.... it was a zoo/alligator farm on a Seminole Indian Reservation.
These geese did NOT like me.
Babies weren't allowed on the airboat tours, so Heidi, Amy, and I took the tour while John and Baby Joe stayed behind and checked out the turtles. The turtles gave Joe a lesson on the facts of life... but luckily I don't think he understood any of it.
We saw SO many alligators. They would come right up to the boat which probably should have freaked me out, but the airboat guide seemed to know what he was doing, so I wasn't too worried.
Heidi and Amy:
They were feeding the alligators while we were there. This one has a huge frozen chicken in his mouth.
We got back to Delray Beach later that afternoon, and took Scott's boat out on the ocean. It was such a great day to be outside. Perfect weather. 
I'd never taken a boat out in the ocean before, and it got to be a bit of a wild ride!! Poor Joe wanted to take a nap, but the water was so choppy that it was tough to keep a hold on him. Here's Amy trying to stay upright and not lose Joe in the crazy waves while he slept. It was ridiculous!
After passing Donald Trump's estate in Palm Beach, we found a sandbar to hang out at for awhile. We did some seashell hunting and the guys did some fishing for bait.
We had dinner on the water that night. I had the best key lime pie of my entire life. Here's the mess Joe left behind:
By the time we got home, we were all exhausted!

Man, babies get messy when they get older!!! Well, I guess they're always messy just in different ways. It's so funny that the first picture of you with animals is you with geese, it's like "Lindsay went all the way to Florida to see geese?!?!" Clearly, they're popular in all states. I love how you were so trusting of the airboat guide...I'm like that too, although it really kind of is blind faith, not exactly like trusting a surgeon.
Hoping there's a Day 3
