Tell Dad Alligators are faster on land than water. Speeds up to 35 MPH. I bet he knew that but wanted Zander to relax.

I never had a desire to visit Florida, but I must say after watching all of Lynette's vlogs and now your trip, I think I may have to put that on my bucket list. The Pinecraft/Sarasota area looks like a lovely place to visit with much to do. Wondering if all went well at the lady's retreat? I applaud you for your willingness to speak, I would have been terrified and probably would have fainted before I uttered a word. Until next Friday have a wonderful week. Peace and Blessings, K.

It was so nice to recognize again how beautiful life can be - IS. I watch your site as often as I can. I come from southwestern NY and so am very close to the Amish life here. Love it. Hope your feet recovered quickly and you are feeling good now. I hope the delivery goes smoothly. I am sure the baby will be beautiful. Love to all.

    Nice one! Where does all that kid-energy go?? I've always found it weird how it seems to switch off once they get to be teens! I think Xander will love having a sibling. Yes, I can't imagine burned feet would be any fun for you, I've had them & the only 'good' part is that at least you can soak them - any other part of the body is not easy to cool down - hope you're all recovered now! Xander was right to be fearful of the peacocks - they can be very vicious & gators can move faster than you'd think!!! Take care you guyz.

And just so you know, just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't there. There is at least one gator in every fresh water body of water in Florida. They are shy and usually leave you alone. Unless it's mating season. They will get aggressive. But they still usually leave humans alone. Your Florida nature lesson of the day... Lol!

    I was thinking what if one of the seagulls held its ground… what a surprise that would have been! I just love his energy. Seeing him so concerned about you getting chomped was touching. I was listening to the Christian radio station the other day and the question a listener had was how do I know when God is prompting me to do something verses me willing myself. The host used the same Bible verse and followed with look for an open opportunity. How wonderful that you had an open opportunity that provided to other and to your family. Im so glad you got to meet Lynnette, too! As always thanks for taking us along.

    My parents have had a place on AMI for decades... so used to seeing lots of Menonites around the Sarasota/Bradenton areas. Which is funny because I also grew up in Upstate NY where a lot of old order Menonnite and Amish are. Totally different experiences.

    Xander's energy!!! Mercy! Of course I'm an old grandma so I couldn't have kept up for sure! I'm sure you did great with your speaking. Wish I could have heard you. :) God bless you!

    So sad that the kid doesn’t know why rocks shouldn’t be thrown at ducks, at his age. Compassion, perhaps? Unfollowing.

      I understand your concern with showing compassion to animals as it's very important to me. Just curious if you've ever raised a little boy? 🙂 the one I have is so energetic it takes constant reminders every day to teach him. It sure would be so nice if they could learn everything by the time they are 4... 😀 make a parents life so much easier

    Watch out for gators, and be careful with Spanish moss. The moss has some kind of tiny red bugs.

    Alligators can move up to 35 miles per hour on land. Zander is right to be wary.
