One of the best things about RV Life is meeting other traveling families along the way. During this RV Family Trip we happened to be on the SAME travel path & campground as 2 other families! We decided meet up for an Airboat tour of the Everglades & search for alligators & other wildlife.
We enjoyed getting to hang with @tryNsomethingnew and @the5worldexplorers during our trip to the Miami, Florida area! We wrap up our day with an evening at the ballpark for some live (in person) baseball!
Stay Tuned next week for MORE Florida adventures!

So let's get this airboat tour started.
In this video, we show you one of the many benefits of RV life,
connecting with others and having an adventure together.
Let's see how many gators we can spot with traveling families,
trying something new and the five world explorers.
Notice this open space
looks like it just goes on forever.
That's where the word Everglades comes from.
So we're about to do an airboat tour.
Now, we've done airboat tours before, but not with this particular company
and not in this particular area.
So this is just going to be a super fun experience.
We actually met up with a couple of other traveling families today.
So this is just going to be awesome.
So as we're on the canal, you want to keep your eyes open.
Look to your left, look to your right.
Up underneath those trees, pretty much look everywhere.
All right, for wildlife.
Nice job, that was fun.
Does anybody want to jump in?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't return yet.
I was just a joke, it was a bad joke.
Did somebody do that?
You just need to be able to get out and walk around out through here.
There's nothing out here that's going to harm you.
All right, you know, you get your feet in the water,
Well, I was on a particular boat that had like, like the stadium seating.
Okay, so the last, the last seats were there about this level right here.
Okay, I was on this boat that had this stadium seating.
So I get out of the boat and I'm actually, I'm like right in this area right here.
Take my shoes off, socks off and get in the water.
And I started to talk about the Everglades.
And I said, and I should have worded it differently.
I said, any of y'all want to jump in and join me?
You're more than welcome to.
By the time I turned and looked back to the boat,
there was a guy on the back row here, the back seat back here.
He already had his pants off, his shoes off.
He was basically in his underwear.
And he did the best cannonball from like right about where I'm at right now.
Just and tucks it in and does like the most perfect cannonball I've ever seen in my life.
Into about two to three feet of water.
Luckily, there was a lot of mud down there to cushion his blow.
No cannonballs guys.
Yeah, no cannonballs.
No cannonballs.
Let's keep our eyes open now.
Have those cameras ready.
It's a gator.
Now guys, you've seen the alligators.
Now there's only one problem.
It's not getting your action shots.
Which, that's the day in the life of an alligator.
Okay, that's pretty much basically what they do.
Now they only move fast when they really need to.
This is swimming right?
Chuck.
Do you see it?
Here he comes.
Whoa.
That's three.
What do you think?
I'm voting for ten years now.
I just like alligators.
You like alligators.
Reach higher.
So that was a lot of fun.
Definitely gets a little bit hot when you're stationary,
but I absolutely love the sun anyway.
We saw several gators and the kids just had a blast.
Loved it.
Airboats are so fun just because of the maneuvers that you can do on an airboat.
So, definitely recommend.
And great for families of all ages.
There was another family that had just like a little, little one that was on the boat with us.
So, whether your kiddos are younger or older,
this is definitely a great, fun activity for families regardless of the age of your kiddos.
So, this airboat tour was pretty phenomenal.
We were drifting like, we were drifting.
He was pulling the liver all the way down here and then he was like having it up here.
He was eating a sandwich.
But, yeah, it was pretty phenomenal.
Phenomenal.
So, we are here at the stadium where the Miami Marlins play.
So, we're going to finally go to a baseball game.
Feels like forever since we've been able to do this with COVID and everything.
So, home game tonight.
Rooting for the Miami Marlins.
Go Marlins.
Let's hit it.
Dakota, what'd you get?
Major League Baseball.
Nice.
Hey, look at that ball.
Isn't that amazing?
Yes.
Oh, it's so cool.
Are you ready for the game?
Oh, yeah.
Totally.
Go Marlins.
And let's catch another ball.
Make noise.
Woo!
Top of the ninth inning and the Cardinals are batting.
And they're up by one.
So, we lost.
So sad.
Four to two.
But it was a really good game.
We were ahead for a while.
But the fun thing was is that we've got four baseballs that were given to the kids just
from the beginning of the game through the middle of the game.
One of them by one of the third base coaches for the Marlins.
And then another one by one of the field officials.
I was here and he was all the way so far away and he knew I wasn't going to make it.
And then he just chose me.
And he's like, you come here.
And a third base coach gave this one to me.
So, balls for the kids.
Balls for their coaches.
So, thank you so much to all of you that coach softball, baseball, Little League.
Bringing balls home for the kids as coaches.
And definitely a fun, fun night at the ballpark here in Miami.
