This one is for you BOBBY!

This might be a little random. Back when we were at Auburn, Michael and two of his best friends Bobby Freeman and Chris Roberts would always go catch alligators. They would drive to lake Eufaula catch alligators all night, drive back and get back to Auburn around 4:00 am. This always made me so nervous. I remember laying in my bed and praying for there safety. Michael always assured me, " we only catch the small ones" . My response, " Well Michael, the small ones had to come from a BIG MAMA, and she's out there too!" All this to say, he has convinced me I will not get eaten if I go. We don't catch them. I don't think Michael insurance company would be to happy. You pretty much need your hands in his line of work.

One night recently we went to spot light gators. There is something kind of exciting about seeing an alligator out in the wild as opposed to in a cage. On our way out there we called our friends Adriane and Ryan to see if they wanted to go. Props to you guys for being "Spur of the Moment". Anyways, We drove to a place I had seen one before, when I was crossing the bridge. Not long after we started looking we saw one. He was really big. Luckily we had a wooden fence in between us. Now Michael and Ryan want to take our canoe out there. I think Finn and I will sit that one out. Here are the pictures of the GATOR!!
When we took Adriane and Ryan home, Finn saw their new lawn mower and had to take a spin!! Then I had to as well. I had never had so much fun cutting grass. It is one of those "0" turn kinds with out a steering wheel. Sorry neighbors!! It was about 11:00 pm. Also that is a cookie on the alligators head Ryan put there. He wanted the picture to show how big the alligator was in comparison to a cookie:)

Krista,

You're awesome for going spotting for gators w/ Michael. With the proper coaching and training from dad, Finn will be an excellent gator hunter in no time.

Love you guys,

Bobby
