I expected the spiders, snakes, and bigger bugs because of the warmer weather, but not alligators. When someone mentions alligators, I think of Florida or swampy areas, not Texas lakes. But…Yep, we have gators. And might I add that we just bought an inflatable boat thingy. It’s strong, but I don’t think it’s gator teeth strong.

Now don’t you all get too worried, they are few and far between. (Except at the lake we are currently at. They passed out fliers on alligator etiquette—as in, instructions on how to handle an encounter—and have warnings posted everywhere.)

I really don’t think we’ll ever come across one though. (Until it’s warmer, and this weekend’s supposed to get pretty toasty.)

But if we do, the gator facts sheet they also passed out says the American alligator is the least aggressive crocodilian. (Is there such a thing? We’re talking alligators here.)

So see, we’ll be fine. Although…now that I know they’re here, naughty me has already started the hunt to find one. And when I do, I’ll let you know. If I’m still alive, of course. (Maybe you all should worry after all.)

Thanks for reading, guys. I love sharing my crazy life with you!
