An Alligator Hunt

Ever since we knew we were coming to Florida, we knew we were going to see alligators. All people talk about is the alligators. Well, we have been here for about two months and have not seen any alligators. So, we went on a hunt. We asked around and found the best place to go see alligators … Sawgrass Lake Park.

this squirrel was eating some nuts, hanging almost upside down in the tree. He looks scary in this picture with red eyes!

We stopped for a rest …

We were a little disappointed that we only got to see one alligator, but it was still cool to see her.
