A few weeks ago we discovered an alligator in the pond, here in our apartment complex. Don't worry, it's all fenced off. It was the most exciting thing for me and the boys! Some of the guys here named the alligator Charlie (from the youtube video "Charlie bit me"-of the little kids). We only saw Charlie one time and were totally fascinated by him. I take the kids out there almost everyday and we throw rocks and look for him. But after not seeing him for a weeks, we figured someone had taken him out. Then last night we found out someone had because he got too big. My kids LOVE to go down there and wait for him to come. Julien talks about Charlie every day and we only saw him once! This morning we took a family walk and to our pleasant surprise someone had put a baby gator in the pond! Her name is Little Ann and she is so cute! We are really mean and like to throw rocks at the gators to watch them snap. Luckily our aim is not the greatest so she didn't get hit much (and they are little tiny rocks for all you people who think we are cruel). Here she is...
This is the beautiful pond in our back yard!
Julien's new favorite thing to do...throw rocks at gators!
Dad and Jonah gathering pebbles to throw.
Here she comes!
Isn't she cute!? We really could just watch her all day, if it weren't so hot!
Wouldn't that be great, hot sunny weather with all the green. It's so beautiful there! I want to go there so badly! Maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteHey Vanessa and Fam! That is the coolest thing having a little gator in your backyard pond. It looks like you live in a beautiful area! Talk to you later!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome, I am so jealous! I want to come and throw rocks at Little Ann with you and the boys! :)
ReplyDeleteHow Fun! We have a lake at our apartment too, except no alligators. (Caitlin)
ReplyDeleteI still think it's SO crazy that Florida has alligators everywhere! When Mike and I went to NASA we saw an alligator jump out of the water and eat a bird! :)
