Madilyn petting a snake she wasn't scared
Before the boat left Aunt Loretta and Jay told the girls on the boat that I love snakes and I like to hold them. I told the man no indeed. I use to when I was little I would always tell Keri that I wanted a pet snake just to scare her but, I was always joking about it. I can't stand them.
This is how big the alligator was it never even tried to open it mouth.
Madilyn, Brianna, and Me Me while passing the alligator around for everyone to pet. The girls really enjoyed the ride.
Our boat ride in the swamp and they brought out real animals. This was the biggest of them all and Madilyn or Brianna was not afraid of this real alligator.

Madilyn's Kindergarten Project

Madilyn had a choice of two things to do for the project. The 1st was either a Rainbow or the other was to make a Leprechaun Trap. Well you can see what she choose and said if we needed help to just go on the internet and it would tell us all about how to make it. We had fun making this project.
We all helped out on the project Brianna helped with the gold glitter and Madilyn glued alot of gold coins and Mom did alot of the helping decorate pieces that were alittle harder to due by herself.
This was a family project so her dad help by getting popsickles so we could use the stick to hold up the rainbow. This was her dad's favorite part he got to eatem.
