So the other night, my hubs left at 9pm to go to his sister's house, just a neighborhood block away, to get his watch that he had left. As he was driving, he noticed a shadow and took a closer look.....
it was this....
An 8.5 foot alligator....dead, of course.
EEEKKKKKKK!!!!! He called his sister's family to come take a look. Once they poked it a few times, and made sure it was really dead, they had a little fun.
Only my brother-in-law.......

Now, we don't see these that often. Never, really. Our neighborhoods border Cedar Creek Lake, and as all lakes do, it has its share of swampy lands surrounding it where these friendly little guys just love to live .I wasn't too thrilled knowing these guys are around. It's not like a little grass snake slithered into our porch (I would be dying if that happened too!) Nonetheless, it did add some excitement around here. Boog called the Gamewarden and by daylight, the creature had been picked up.
I bet he's been turned into a pretty nice pair of boots by now!
