Making the most of her three-day weekend...

Gracie's school had a teacher's workday this past Friday, so she vacationed with Marmie, Popi & Uncle Pat...first a visit to the Alligator Farm...this little guy is only two weeks old...Gracie said he was a real wiggler!

I cannot believe my brother let this giant thing anywhere near him...yikes!

This one was three years old, so she needed Marmie as a safety net to hold this one!

This is Big Al - the farm's claim to fame. Pat said he is HUGE!

The baby in his tank...

All I can say is, "No thank you."

You'll see more of this in a video below...

Friday evening, they went back to the Carnival that they attended last weekend, and Saturday morning, they attended another local Fall Festival, where she met more creatures, did some craft projects and got a seahorse painted on her arm...

Then, Saturday afternoon, she went on a boat ride where Marmie volunteers...more creatures, flowers and adventures...

Can you imagine how excited she was to come home and do homework after all that??? NOT!

I'll close with a video of Big Al... again, no thank you, but I know Gracie enjoyed it...that must be from her Daddy's side!
