After church today we went to Lake Jesup, which is where the alligators are kept here in central Florida. Nalani is standing next to a sign that says, "DO NOT Feed the Gators." I think that won't be a problem. We don't want to get near the alligators.
We walked out along the grass toward the lake and past the boats where people can go on rides on the lake to see the alligators. Anuhea and I stopped to look at a small boat like a fishing boat. We couldn't understand how anyone would ride a boat like that since it was so low and close to the water. While we stood there, I saw the tip of an alligator's mouth (about the size of my hand) lurch out of the water, possibly to snatch an insect! I hoped I would see it again so I could get a picture, but after standing there for a while--in the hot sun--I gave up.
Here are pictures of alligators that the people at the lake have for visitors to see for free. Jason says that any alligators caught are taken to Lake Jesup.
