This alligator was between 8-10 feet and had

10 babies in the pond just a few yards away. This

pond was right across the street from the house

we were staying in.

The stick on the left side of the picture

was attached to a rather brave/stupid man

trying to get the alligator to come ashore.

When she began hissing at all of us we went

across the street. We still wanted to see the action

if she did come out of the water and eat the man

poking around her with the stick.

The local security kept an eye on those who wanted

to get a look at this momma and her babies. She apparently

didn't like all the attention and was becoming aggressive. If you

were caught around this pond you were asked to leave.

Some of the kids wanted to go see the baby alligators.

The bucks were more willing to see if we had any food.

Here is a momma alligator in one of the many

ponds around the golf course. Don't look for any

golf ball in these waters.

This pond was across the street from the rental

house. There were 10 baby gators here and the momma

and daddy were not far away as we found out later.

Creepy how there eyes glow, huh?

Baby alligator

Another baby, but where's mommy?

Rachel had one mission for 3 days, to pet at least one

deer while on the island. Only one brave deer let

her accomplish her mission.

Someone caught a crab and some other wierd
looking stuff in this cage.

The crab was playing dead. Smart little fella!

Kyle was not interested in swimming just eating some Apple Jacks.

Kyle didn't like the ocean much but loved playing

in this disgusting water left over after the tide went out.

Kyle hasn't had his nap yet and he is gruuuummmmppppyyyy!

Melt down! I'm sure everyone around us would love for us to leave right about now.

Kyle's favorite thing to do was to go for rides in the golf cart.

Rachel, Alexis, & Carlie go for a golf cart cruise.
