That's it for pictures at the Alligator Farm. Unfortunately, when Doyle asked me that morning if the camera battery needed charged, I should have just charged it anyway. But no, I didn't and we didn't end up getting very many pictures. I won't let that happen again!

The Alligator Farm
Last Saturday we took Cade to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. Neither of us had been there before. I was surprised at just how many alligators they had. I couldn't even begin to count, especially in the "nature looking" areas. Crazy!
These guys definitely looked well fed.
Cade immediately started pointing at all the animals he saw.
Yes, it appears Doyle was trying to feed Cade to this alligator!
But then Cade decided he would rather ride it.
Well, these guys thought so too!

At first we were just amazed at how all these little baby alligators came towards us. Then we realized there was a machine you get food out of to feed them. So I guess she just wait here all day getting feed by the tourists. Pretty eerie really!
They had other animals also. Here a monkey is talking to Cade. They also had a lot of very colorful birds.
They also had a little playground area.

Happy Halloween!!!
Okay, so I looked for Cade a costume in the stores and they really don't have much of a selection for his age. Not to mention, he could stand to get the 3T waistline on a 2T length. Right, that doesn't happen so I decided to make something myself. I also figured since this was the last Halloween that Cade would be the "baby", it was only fitting that he be "Super Baby" this year! I definitely procrastinated and didn't actually start sewing on it until last weekend! I won't do that again! Cade wore his costume to daycare for the parade and party. Anyway, enjoy the pics!

Alright, so Cade didn't exactly enjoy wearing the costume when I first put it on him. Actually, it was the letters on the front of the shirt that he didn't particularly care for. Luckily, he got over it fairly quickly.
Now we skip to Halloween night. Here Cade is eating his first and only piece of Halloween candy.

And Super Baby is armed and ready to handout the candy to the trick or treaters!
Okay, so maybe he wasn't so willing to give it up but rather wanted to eat it himself!
Everyone that came to the house commented on how cute "Super Baby" was. Certainly no one else had his costume! I wasn't able to find a pattern so I just came up with it myself. And no, I am NOT going to start making my kids clothes. It's much easier to just buy them!
Come on mama, just one more piece?
Or how about this one?
No, he didn't get another piece. This pic was taken during the first one. I really didn't want him to get all wired before going to bed. He did wake up a few times last night but for the most part, slept pretty good. I didn't actually go in to get him this morning until just after 6:30am. So that was nice that I got to sleep in! He was asleep by 8:30pm and I was asleep by 9pm. So we both got a pretty fair amount of sleep in!
We hope you all had a Happy Halloween too! Cade says next year he'll be ready to go house to house himself. Today we are off to run errands and see about getting a few more maternity clothes for me. The pregnancy is going fine here in the 2nd trimester. The baby has done her fair share of kicking while I've been updating this.
We hope you all enjoy your weekends! Take care!
