How did you spend your Saturday?

Some of you may have spent your Saturday cleaning or running errands or watching the BYU vs. San Diego State game(we heard it was an outstanding game. Go Cougs!). We decided that today would be the day that we went looking for alligators. We had been told that they are all over the place, just laying on the side of the road, but alas, we haven't seen any. Today we went on the hunt and we were not disappointed! Isn't that such a cool sign? We saw a bunch of cars pulled off to the side of the road. We wondered if they were looking at alligators. We pulled over and saw this sign. Then we saw...

ALLIGATORS! This one is a little anti-climatic, don't worry, there are better pictures. This one was watching something in the water. Whatever it was splashed and then the alligator went under water. I'm assuming that it went to eat lunch, but I could be wrong.

This one is a little bigger than the last one. B wanted a picture of M and K standing in front of it. K was too tired and wouldn't. M saw a bee, freaked out and clung to me with a death grip. It wasn't because of an alligator about 3 feet away from her(don't worry, it was in a ditch, we wouldn't really stand about three feet away from an alligator.)No the death grip and total fear was from the bee that flew by her.

This is what I'm talking about! Yes a big alligator laying in the sun on the side of the road! There was a guard rail, canal and then the alligator. Isn't that so cool!

They blend in so well. If you aren't looking for them, you would just drive right by them. That makes me wonder how many we have just driven by. Although we have been looking for them and haven't seen any. We had to drive about an hour away from our house to see these ones. On our way home on the freeway, there is a chain link fence. Walking on the other side of the fence was a HUGE alligator! I didn't see these alligators walking like the one on the freeway, but the one on the freeway looked like a Goliath of alligators. I wish we could have turned around on the freeway so that we could have gotten a picture, but these ones are still pretty awesome if you ask me!
