The week before the Fourth of July we went down to Silver Springs. We had so much fun! I think the top 4 favorites were the HUGE Kodiak bears, the glass bottom boat ride, Travis french kissing a giraffe, and the water slides. I regret not getting any picutes of the water park. I'll see if I can get some of Amy's.

I do have to say Stephen is pretty brave. I don't think Travis and Darron even held the gator.

The Kodiak Bears are from Alaska. We just watched in awe, because we couldn't believe how big these bears were. The one in the water was not letting the other two bears get in to cool off. We witnessed them getting into a feud.

You would not believe how big and loud these Kodiak bears are. They were scary!
