Florida Wildlife

 We made it back to Miami today! The cruise went by so quickly. Getting off the ship was probably the most stressful situation I’ve been in. There were 4,500 people on our ship and there were several other ships that had also just ported so getting an Uber ride was insane. There were thousands of people! And trying to keep the kids close by was a chore. It didn’t help that when we finally got our Uber driver he made sure to tell me not to let the kids in the backseat by themselves. I held them close to me after that. But we survived and made it to rent a car so we could explore southern Florida! We went to the Everglades first for an airboat tour. We saw wild gators in the river which was pretty cool. They also had a Burmese python at the start of our tour that they let people pet. Luke had no fear with petting it! He must not realize how dangerous they are! 

Then we headed to the Florida keys to explore there. We found a beach with a long sandbar that we walked out on. We found lots of crabs, fish, pelicans, jellyfish, and even a shark! The shark was about three feet long and definitely scared the kids. Luke said, “I’m too cute to die!” Haha. He sure is!

Then we drove back to Miami to see Miami Beach. It was almost sunset and it was still so crowded. But it was nice to play in the waves. It is gorgeous. I love the beach!
