Day 4 of our Epic Adventure to Florida (Part 2) ~ GKTW Splashing and the Star Fairy

To cool down from the heat and HUMIDITY, we went over to the swimming/splash area.

Daniel just chilled on the floatie.

Every time we walked by this villa, I couldn't believe HOW PURPLE the roof was.

Another random picture.

Ok, when we flew to Florida, Kelly had a UM (unaccompanied minor) by her.

The girl was going to visit her grandma (like a lot of children on their way to FL).

She told Kelly how her grandma had to have a cage in her backyard to keep the alligators out.

Alligators climb up fences and such, I guess.

So, we saw cages like the above picture, EVERYWHERE.

When we were at the temple (post below), I was talking to a Floridian about the cages, and these kind are actually to keep bugs, mainly mosquitoes, out.

We did notice the cages around pools mostly.

The guy I talked to said to be careful around lakes and ponds, for alligators.

I hadn't been that worried, but then he started talking about how Florida has a ton of snakes.

"The black snakes aren't bad." All the others, be careful around. Ick!!

Anthony loves to climb into the bottom of the stroller.

The children trying to catch an anole.

Andy promised them $5 if they could catch one.

A volunteer heard that, said that no one has caught one before, and said he'd pay them $20 if they caught one.

Anthony writing on his star for the Star Fairy.

The Star Fairy lives in the Castle of Miracles.

After the wish child writes their name on the star, they place it in the treasure chest, below.

The Star Fairy then will hang the star on the ceiling, where it will stay forever and ever!

Check out that cute belly!
