I kept making the rounds through the house and around it. About twenty minutes into Sunshine's lecture, I heard a boat getting closer to the house. All of the alligators were still close, and Balthazar was still sitting close to the dock. And when they heard and felt the boat, they all started moving closer to land. I was really starting to like these little, well, big, guys. When the boat got closer to us, we could see that it was our dads, so Hippy yelled down to the alligators and told them that it was safe. That these guys were here to protect Sunshine. So they all backed off. When the boat stopped, I watched as our guys just stood on it, not moving. They didn't even tie the boat to the dock. So Hippy ran down and tied it to the dock. Then he walked back up with our dad, laughing hi
