Unwanted Visitor

In case you're new here, I spent a majority of my life living in South Louisiana.

Baton Rouge to be exact.

But, I moved on in 1998 and never moved back, all while my brother and his family stayed.

For the past few years he's lived on the Tickfaw River in Springfield, you might recall we spent Thanksgiving there this last year.

It's cute, fun, and LOADED with wildlife.

How many of you have watched Swamp People?

Well, Troy Landry doesn't live too far-off from Springfield.

Anyway, on to today's post.

My brother called Sunday night and said he had an altercation with a gator that was hanging out on their boat dock.

He was pretty excited about the pictures he caught of it all, but not about the gator being so close to their house!

Here the gator is swimming by the dock!

Making his way out of the water.

And, onto land.

My brother said he was HUGE!! Like twice the size of me in height even though the photo doesn't look that way.
He and his neighbor threw rocks at him to try and get him to leave along with other tactics.

And, from there I'll let your imagination run wild as to what happened!

Not cool having gators hanging around your boat dock when you have children, dogs and cats!

I guess that's life living on the Bayou!
