I have been wanting to go to Brazos Bend for awhile. I heard there were alligators there. I thought if we were lucky enough we would see one in the swampy water out in the distance. We really thought we struck gold when the first bridge we came to had 2 gators sitting there less than 5 feet from us.
McKinna then found a hairy caterpillar, the kids loved it.
On with the trip... We started our walk up the path to the look out tower. Holy Gators! They were EVERYWHERE! In the middle of the path, right off in the brush, big ones, little ones, red ones, green ones (Okay getting a little carried away, but that is how it felt.) Ben wanted to touch there tails, Journey wanted to pet them, and Bodin just want to get the H-E double hockey sticks outta there. He was a bit nervous. And Danielle was saying it would be fun to take a boat out in that swamp. Seriously, ARE YOU CRAZY? I think I will go with Bodin.
We had a great time finding other wildlife as well. We saw turtles aplenty! One crossed the path right in front of us, and another struck pose like there was nothing to it. We even got to see a bird catch a snake.
And what trip would be complete without small bladder boy having to pee?
We had a fantasic time, and we definitely be heading back, especially on days when I am ok with a child or two being eaten. Maybe we should pack it up today.
Who's coming?
