On Friday, the rain finally stopped (it has rained ALL week here!), so we took advantage and went out! Our first stop was Alligator Alley - acres of swamp land that are dedicated to rescuing "nuisance" alligators. The kids loved it!
Here, Ben is looking at juvenile alligators:
Here is the information on the biggest Alligator here - he was taken from a Florida neighborhood for good reason!
And here he is:

Mommy holding the alligator:
Sarah was reluctant, but she finally held one, too!
After Alligator Alley, we went to LuLu's for lunch - it is owned and run by Lucy Buffett (Jimmy Buffett's sister). It was so family friendly and delicious! Here is some of our food (yes, we pigged out!).
MMMMM...these onion rings are so good!
We ate outside on picnic tables that are all around the kid's play area! It was so awesome! We were there for hours letting the kids play!
The kid's play area:
The kid's sand pit: She has a ton of sand trucked in - water + sand = happy kids!!
Sarah slid down the sand hill and her jeans made a cool imprint in the sand.
That night, in Fairhope, Lucy Buffett was signing copies of her cookbook at First Friday Art Walk, so we met her! She was so excited to see Sarah's shirt!
So, she signed it!
Dancing in the street!
On Saturday, the city of Daphne held an Easter Egg hunt for the kids - it was so well done and so fun!
Ben LOVED playing in the fire truck!
