Out and about for fun

Category: miscellaneous | Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 2:38 am

I was attempting to hold a baby alligator. The picture is blurry because the camera person was laughing at me. I did it though and I do not like how it felt

I had to get a picture with the frog, I like frogs(no the live ones). I went on a nature hike. This is at the Natural Science Museum in Mississippi. One of the employees saw us wondering about and laughing and just came up to us and asked if we wanted to pet the alligator before he put him back in the tank. I could not pass up the opportunity.

Great pics, looks like you did have fun. I like frogs too. I don't really know why, but I just thing they are cool.

My DD#1 held a baby alligator in FL when we went last Dec. She thought it was so cool, of course she did she's 21. I couldn't do it. Thanks for sharing.

What a neat experience to be able to pet/hold an alligator. :)

I've never touched an alligator, only snakes, and I'm that envious! I'm glad you screwed up your courage, nice photos!

Ha ha ha... oh, D2D... you are a card! What great fotos. That big frog was a photogenic beast that just asked to be used as a prop, wasn't he?
It looks as if you folks really had a great time.

That little alligator looks nice, but I'd bet he'd draw blood, given half a chance. You'd better be careful. ;)

Good for you! Every once in a while I try to do things that make me nervous so I can get over the fear. It definitely makes life more interesting!
LOVE the frog!
