On Friday, March 18th, we visited Brazos Bend State Park with Richard's family. Nana, Papaw, Scott, Devin, Ethan and Gavin rounded out our group!
This was the first aligator that we saw on our sight seeing adventure.
Brooklyn watched an episode of Sesame just a few days before about binoculars. She kept borrowing Gavin's little pair to look at the ground.



Brooklyn wanted to hold hands with Gavin and look for animals in the water.

We looked off the side of the main lake and saw a log with 5 alligators on it, sunning themselves. If you look very closely, the second alligator from the bottom has a baby alligator sitting on its head!




Devin and Scott, taking a much needed break. Overall, the guys walked 2 miles.
Everyone decided to turn around and go eat lunch, but I needed a little alone time, so I walked an additional 2 miles around a large lake. Here are a few of the animals that I saw!

When I got back to camp sight, the guys and Brooklyn only beat me by about 10 minutes. Speedy Gonzales, was ready for lunch and to sit down! My feet hurt so bad! Overall, I walked 4 miles.
After eating hot dogs for lunch, Brooklyn played catch with her cousins. At one point, the ball was tossed over her head and barely missed her!
We had so much fun! It was very tiring walking on crushed rock, but it was well worth it to spend time with our family and watch God's amazing creation in action.
