Alligator Alley

This weekend we went to Alligator Alley. It is a home for Alligators that got in trouble for one reason or another(eating dogs, swimming in the girl scouts pond, taking over swimming pools). They have over 200 gators there. I think I'd ask for more than just a stick before I did what this guy does for a living.

 Mr. Snaggles

 Daddy daughter time

 First he would whap the alligator in the head and dangle a piece of meat above it's head in attempts at luring it on the bank. He didn't have much luck this time. he couldn't get any one to get all the way up. It was still funny watching him yelling, "heel Mr. Snaggles!" His alligators are about as well trained as my dog.

armed with just a stick. Even the swamp people take a .22

 These guys just hatched in September

 He is over 13 feet long and got into trouble for eating dogs. (Kona close your eyes) They call him the labrador retriever-retriever. 

We even saw a shark. 

But it was just a baby shark. 

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
