Riverbend Park in Jupiter, Florida
on March 24, 2013 and
saw more alligators and even baby gators .

Three canoes collided and another canoe ended up dangling part way in the air while trying to go over the dam.

The girls decided to go over the dam and they made it without tipping over.

Below: At first the two RV Gypsies thought this was just part of a leaf in the canoe, until it moved. Guess it is a Leaf Bug. It was actually alive - with no head!

The big splash in the photo below was a guy landing in water after jumping off a rope swing hung on a nearby tree.  Nothing like being in the cold water, and not fearing the alligators and snakes.
