Alejandra

Alejandra is very alert, holds her head up and looks at you in the eyes. She is so cute!

Alejandra esta muy despierta, sujeta bien la cabeza y te mira directa a los ojos. Es tan mona!

Alligators

Bu, Yaya and Great Grandma went to the Everglades to see the Alligators. They take you in a boat that gets moved by a giant fan... normal boats do not work as they will get trapped by the plants and vegetation... look how close a big alligator was.

n Bu, Yaya y la Bia fueron a los Manglares a ver los lagartos. Te llevan en un barco que se mueve gracias a un gran ventilador.. los barcos tradicionales no funcionan ya que se quedarian atrapados en las plantas y vegetacion... mirad lo cerca que esta el lagarto.
