An odd dinner companion

Our condo complex in Sanibel had a large pond which added to the tropical feel of the scenery. The pond was home to many turtles, some large scary looking fish, and two alligators. It was Florida after all, so what fun would a pond be without alligators. These alligators were not very big and mostly kept to themselves. We had these great grilling areas near the pond which many families utilizes, including us for some very yummy hot dogs one day:) One evening we noticed that one family had a an uninvited guess at their dinner. One of the alligators had come out of the pond t "investigate" whatever it was that they were cooking. He climbed all the way up to the picnic area...to the delight of most. I was able to snap some pictures. Take a look
