Our family, which consists of a Mom/Dad and 4 funny kids, vacationed on Sanibel Island this year. Our 2 boys, were throwing a Nerf football around near the pond at a condo complex where we were staying. Our oldest boy, Nicholas, tosses the ball to another kid and the ball rolls down an embankment into a pond...A baby gator attacked the ball and began was looked like "playing" with it. I am a native Floridian, both born and raised in Lake County and have never seen anything quite like this. Gives a whole new meaning to the term Gator Football!!!! Go Gators! Shakira S. McKenna
