Diversion Day today - visiting a croc farm



Maybe the grandkids or grandsons will like these pics. We visited a crocodile farm today. There were over 1400 crocs. The guide who walked with us - put his stick in and provoked them to snarl, jump and snap. Which caused me to jump also (Grandma writing, of course)These were kind of small. There was one really large one that was 40 years old. (whoops correct that to say 140 yrs old.) They feed them chickens every morning. When they're mature they're slaughtered and sold for gourmet meat at high-class restaurants.
Here's the 'guide guy' using his stick.
Lovely, aren't they!
This one came running over as the guy banged his stick and growled at it. Grandpa actually got pretty good at the growling part too.
It was a very hot day (so what else is new) and they were cooling themselves in the water.
Yup - he snapped at us. It was hard to get a pic just as he snapped.
Okay... this isn't the croc farm, but the branch family activity on Tues night. We made FHE spinner charts, played Bingo and had crackers and peanut butter for refreshments. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
