Alligator Bayou

We went to a Bayou while in Baton Rouge and it was amazing! It was so cool to see such huge alligators and other creepy things. Going on this tour reminded me I am easily creeped out and that Deacon is such a boy!
Deacon could not even be bothered that there was a huge snake around his neck, I on the other hand stayed far away. Grandma was brave and stayed with Deacon. What is it about snakes? They totally give me the creeps.

This is a ten year old alligator that gave Curt back pain.


Please click on this picturea nd prepare to be creeped out. This is a Nutria- awater rodent. So gross. Also the curly haired little girl in this picture was crying her eyes out before the tour and would not let her mom put her down because she was afraid of the tour guides 100 year old sweet as pie black lab. Later I saw her holding a gator with a snake around her neck. I could not stop laughing.




The tour guide picked on my dad to hold this baby alligator and let all the little kids touch it. It was hilarious because this was one of the first alligators they showed us so it seemed scary. right after that they took us to see the full grown gators and they were HUGE! It was so fun and very educational, i reccomend it the next time you are in Baton Rouge.
