Everglades Holiday Park Review
Everglades Holiday Park: We Took an Airboat Tour of the Everglades!!

This is a good friend of mine and my kids are lucky enough to call her aunt. She looks sweet and innocent, but I'm telling you, she's a crazy woman when it comes to adventure! For the last 13 years we've lived in separate states (though we did visit each other from time to time. She even flew up to Michigan to help decorate my youngest son's nursery...yeah, that's a good friend). That means we've got a lot of fun time to make up for, and to help us do that, this summer we've created a 'bucket list' of sorts that we're slowly ticking off one by one. Some of the things she puts on there really stretch my adventure zone. ;)  I'm no slouch in the adventure department, mind you. I'll travel most anywhere, ride any rollercoaster, and I really am down with trying new things... but some things make me nervous...like driving fast, airboats (just never mind), and white water rafting (something on her list we haven't done yet *gasp*).

I will admit though, when I go along with her on these events, I do always have a grand time. This trip was no exception. We recently took the drive down to Ft. Lauderdale and while there we visited the Everglades Holiday Park (another thing we did on my birthday weekend) .

You'll see a lot of vegetation and hear about the environment while you're moving along. Some of the things you will learn are fascinating (like the pythons are trying to dominate the alligator population), you will hear things that are sad (The  Everglades are improving but they are still in trouble!), and you will see some things that make you smile (like the colorful birds hopping from leaf to leaf, following alongside our boat).
