St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Beach Trip

A few weeks ago, the kids and I headed to St. Augustine with our co-op for a field trip to the Alligator Farm. None of us had ever been to the farm so we were all looking forward to the trip.

We walked around the park and even got to feed the alligators in one area.

After we ate lunch, we went to see the alligator feeding. I can tell you, this would not be the job for me. Do you see this? The girl was actually in there with the alligators and threw whole (dead) chickens at them!

This one was swallowing his chicken.

From there, we headed to the beach for a bit. We were just a few minutes away from the St. Augustine Beach park so they changed into their suits then we headed to the sand. It was a gorgeous day out. I thought it a bit cold for the water, but the chilliness didn’t deter Rosemary and Ben from splashing in the waves.

We were surprised at the erosion. We were a sight shimmying down the drop. Charlotte preferred to play up by me, rather than down by the water.
