After our hot wetlands walk yesterday we also took an airboat ride on the St Johns river. This trip by Midway had a great commentary from the boat captain with impressive sound quality from the headphones that also silenced the noise from the engine. We again saw lots of birds (including my favorite sandhill cranes) but we also saw some cows(!) grazing in the shallow river water, and a bunch of baby alligators … at the end of the trip everyone got a chance to hold a pretty big small alligator (the skin in much softer than I expected, and unlike a warm blooded animal, it feels cool!):
