You might be thinking 4 blog posts in 1 day is a bit ridiculous, but it is only because I am happy to be alive after encountering, over the past 2 weeks, a wild shark AND a wild alligator.
I'll start with the shark. My parents have been in town, and the 4 of us went scuba diving to 2 artificial shipwrecks off the coast. It was really amazing. We saw about 10 sand tiger sharks of various lengths just hanging out. They really could have cared less about us humans. Some even got a little too close for comfort, but it was as though they were oblivious we were there, not in a threatening kind of way.
But then, a week later, we were at the beach when this happened. Yes, that is the exact same shark, and we were at the beach, only a few blocks down. We saw the ambulance and everything, although we didn't know what was going on.
But don't worry folks. Shark week is only a few weeks away, and until then, we should be more scared of Sharktopus.
Then, today I suggested to my parents we go feed the turtles bread at Greenfield Lake. After I convinced them that yes, the turtles do in fact eat bread, we fed the raving masses.
We kept a lookout for an alligator, and sure enough, when we had about 2 pieces of bread left, Dad spotted this little fella. I snapped a picture quickly.
What I didn't realize is that this alligator was high-tailing it over to the bridge because he wanted to eat bread.

You know, my grandmother raised alligators.
