For Memorial day we took a trip to a place called Brazos Bend State Park. It was really beautiful and cool because there where alligators everywhere! Jonny had never seen one, so it seemed like a good place to do so. When we first got there we noticed that their where these signs everywhere saying "Caution Alligators". First thing we did was walk to the pier and we saw a 6-7 foot alligator right under us. Jonny kept saying that he wanted to wrestle one, but after he saw the claws he quickly changed his mind. This was the first Gator that we saw, after that we saw more about every 40 feet it was really cool.
We saw Gators that were BIG, Medium, small, and baby small, we also saw plenty of turtles and birds. next time we go back we hope to see even more alligators out on the banks, maybe if its small enough ill let Jonny do a little wrestling !!:)
The State Park was only 55 min. from our apartment and a beautiful drive at that. Once we got there we realized it was really hot, but we enjoyed sitting on the benches looking at the lakes full of Lillie pads.
Even though I am now a HOLDEN, I still have to carry on the THOMAS tradition of "Yoohoos" or as Jonny like to call them "Yahoos". Its just not a true adventure if it does not have a Yoohoo involved, so for all you Thomas's out there.... Cheers!!
We loved the land, animals and our time spent together. We will be coming back here soon, its a great get away for a fun day.
