We went on an airboat ride in the everglades today. Although I’ve lived in FL for over 25 years, I never got to go on an airboat ride. I’ve always wanted to, and the time presented itself.

It was way better than I imagined, and we zoomed through small mangrove pathways at over 40 miles per hour. I also managed to obliterate a perfectly good jameson hat into a clean pulp. *Note to self, airboat motors are scary*

So these poor fellows were the result of gift shops gone wrong. Yup they were bred to be murdered and preserved for tourists of all ages to swoon over. But hey, I don’t protest it, I just put it out there for everyone to see…
