We have family visiting us this week, and one thing visitors always love is an airboat ride through the Florida Everglades. We weren’t able to take Daisy with us but I thought I’d share a few quick shots we took with the hubby’s phone yesterday since we got up close and personal with some cool looking birds and gators!
