Alligators and the fam

I can't decide who's cuter...

Check out mama gator in the background!


We finally saw the alligators at Brazos Bend Park. We've been several times but seem to always miss "gator season." Okay and for the first year or two here we were afraid to go. I mean, alligators, just sitting there, a few feet away? But we figured if the boy scouts could hang out there we could too. It was cool. There was even a mama with a bunch of babies around her. I was taking pics of flowers and go too close to one alligator. It totally hissed at me... very creepy. And with that you might want to know that alligators make more different sounds than any other reptile. (I know that from reading our Know-it-alls Crocodilian book about 8000 times).

The kids are on the lowest branch of a HUGE tree. I love this picture
