Most of you will say “So you saw an alligator” and the answer is no I didn’t see one. Usually I do these blog post about things I did or about something I saw. Well I have seen an alligator, but it was not in my lake. I was traveling with my family, when we saw a rest stop and we all needed to pee so we went there, but we saw something cool too. We were looking around the rest stop and spotted a little convention center, of course we went in it and looked inside. There was a little gift shop, a weird water device that cost a quarter to start, and a outside area. I went to the gift shop first, then did that weird water device, then went outside. It wasn’t that cool until I saw an alligator, it was right below us, and was pretty big. After a bit of walking we saw a whole bunch of alligators, some were bigger than me. Of course my mom wanted to take a picture of all of us by the alligators.

When my family moved to this lake house we wanted to jump in the lake, but we thought it had alligators because where we are from has a lot of alligators. We saw other people jump in so we did too. Fun fact: alligators are usually more aggressive in the summer which is mating season for them; they are less aggressive in the winter, if you are on a lake and there are alligators some times, but you can jump in once and a while, make sure not to go in during summer. We didn’t know if there could be an alligator in the middle of the lake so we asked the locals if they ever saw them. Some of them said they only saw one in the time they have been there, but my neighbor said there can also be otters, and I was determined to catch and tame one. There is a restaurant a few houses down we can walk to, we got their menu and looked through it. As my dad was looking through it he said, “NO WAY” I said what, he said look, I didn’t see what he was looking at, then I saw this: Gator Tail for 11 dollars, I said no way! I wanted to go there ever since.
