Meaning Behind The Name

Family and friends are asking how I came to name our little farm name of Alligator Valley Farm?  Specially since we live in snowy New Hampshire and there aren't many alligators.  
Well, years ago my husband's grandfather lived in town here and some how, for some reason brought alligators to his farm.  Had them in the river and in the barn.  Not sure how many or for how long.  I'm sure they didn't like the New Hampshire winters.  I know my husband has talked about the stuffed alligator in the attic of his grandfather's house.

While going through my mother-in-law's estate, we came across some stationery for Alligator Valley Farm.  There were bill heads and envelopes.  
My husband and I thought it would be neat to carry on the family name.

It was moving day today!  The goats are out of my basement and in the barn!  It was a bit of a struggle for my husband while trying to carry mom down.  He finally put her on the ground, with a leash on, and tried getting her to walk.  Of course the babies were screaming.  Now all is well and they are happy with the new goat apartment as my husband calls it.  😀
That is their hay "igloo" to sleep in.  We went and bought new Plexiglas for the windows.  Already a chicken attempted to fly out the window when we went down.  lol  Didn't work so well for her.  
The babies are having a blast with their much bigger apartment.
