Crocodile Encounters

When Steve and Judy came to visit for Christmas we decided to do something new we'd never done before in Texas.  We went to Crocodile Encounters.  It's about 1 hr. 15 mins south west of us, but it was worth the trip.  We went on a tour and the girls got to feed and pet tortoises, feed crocodiles and learn all about them. 

The trainer was making the crocodile hiss at us at this point. 

This is where we got to feed the tortoises. 

Everyone got in on the action.

This is where fed the crocodiles by throwing pellets of food over the fence.  These were only about 4 feet long but there were about 6 of them around.  Then as we walked over the plank walkway seen on the right side of the picture there was a crocodile lurking underneath.  It was creepy. 

We're so glad Grandma and Grandpa could join us that day!
