We had a very exciting day... and we never left the house! First of all, we have been seeing the resident alligator more frequently lately, so I called the alligator hotline. Some alligator trappers showed up to remove him this morning! For educational purposes (of course) the kids and I watched them work from the safety of the lanai. It was like watching Animal Planet :) They were so quick about catching him, too- I bet they do this a lot!
Then, after the alligator trappers left, Gabe discovered a three-foot black snake in our garage!
Good thing I don't get too anxious about those things- I made quick use of our shovel. I think I really impressed Gabe by acting so quickly because he retold the story to each one of his siblings :) Needless to say, we have stricter rules now about keeping the garage closed when we are not playing outside!
