Alligators!

We've been living in Southeast Texas for two-and-one-half years now and had never seen an alligator. So tonight after a lovely dinner with Tim and Denese and the missionaries, Tim took us over to the campgrounds at Dam B to hunt alligators. We stopped at the boat ramp first but when no alligators were seen I began to suspect that Tim was again pulling our legs with one of his pranks. We drove on down into the campground and within sixty seconds we spotted our first 'gator!

We hung around for about 15 minutes and spotted two. If I'd known they were so easy to find I'd have spent time over at the campground long before now! It was a fun evening and just makes leaving Texas that much harder on us.

I started this post over at Tim and Denese's house.. We got home around 10:45 p.m. and spotted an armadillo waddling up the drive way. April tried to find the camera in her purse but by the time she snapped a photo the critter had snuck under the house. Such is life in Texas!
