Being married to Alex = Going on adventures = Analiza being scared / over her head
So imagine my excitement when I found an activity that I knew would over-the-top scare Alex. Alligator wrestling for Valentine's Day!
This was a planned surprise, and Alex agreed to drive the 4.5 hours from Telluride to 2 hours south of Denver.
Here's Alex's shocked face.
The issue is that I didn't quite internalize that not only was Alex going to take the class, but I was too.
Before the class, we took a tour of their animal farm - full of snakes, turtles, lizards, birds, turkeys, emus, and gators.
Before getting into the tank - all 10 fingers!
Alex goes first - I look freaked out and worried.
I psyche myself into catching my first one.
Alex catches the alligator snapping turtle.
Feeding the albino turtle alligator meat (yes, they are cannibals).
Alligator teeth.
Wrestling the big gators.
Hunting down the 120 pound gators. Alex and I opted for the sidelines on this one, though Alex had to pull one out by a rope.
Skateboarder over the gator pool.
See you later alligator! After while crocodile! (Never again...)
