Sunday was all about Louisiana, because we are right.here.
Gators & Friends Adventure Theme Park has many, many alligators of all sizes you can imagine. Big ones, medium ones, little ones, even (I’m certain) invisible ones. ha! We bought some animal food (you can feed everything except the meerkats and alligators, please), so we wandered through the park (again with the heat and humidity) with our animal food. The animals rushed us, starting with the fallow deer, then the kangaroos (OMG, roos!). I then encountered the miniature horses, who lifted up their right hoof and rhythmically knocked on their fence with it to get our attention. Yes, I fed them. There were two of them who turned their heads sideways and opened their lips so I could just pour a handful of food through their teeth and straight onto their tongue. I mean, WHO TRAINED WHO? They had a donkey/zebra (can’t remember what it’s called), lots of miniature goats and big goats, and lots of donkeys. We went over to watch them feed the big alligators – what a show. There was one that actually FLEW up out of the water to catch some of the food. Then it was time to hold the baby alligator… little guy was pretty chill and relaxed.
We finished up at the gator park, and decided we needed to find some lunch. If you’re in Louisiana, obviously, we you should eat in Louisiana. So, we headed over to Shreveport to eat at Sam’s Southern Eatery. I got myself a crawfish po’ boy with green beans and I want another one stat. The Child got some of their giant shrimp and I can’t remember what the Husband got, but we all greatly enjoyed our foray into Southern food. Apparently, at Sam’s, the cook makes extra and then just dumps it all on the plate. We all had leftovers to enjoy the next couple of days.
