Jackie had her alligator gloves all ready to go when she and Evan came to see us, so for their last day in the Houston area we took her and Evan to Brazos Bend to see how many we could find. We picked a great day to go, because the gators were out in full force. We counted at least 20, but there were lots more. Here are some of our favorites:
This alligator was enormous, and it was right by the side of the path.
We all had to get our picture with him:
This was a baby alligator that only came out of the water for a minute or two--Jamey happened to be in the right place at the right time!
He didn't want to look at us, but we took his picture anyway.
Gator tracks!
This heron was keeping a close watch for lurking gators...
This was actually a little baby gator--he was only about 2 feet long.
He can swim, but he can't hide...
This one almost blended in, but not quite.
It's not all gators...there are lots of egrets and herons at Brazos Bend too!
This was the first one we saw...we were so excited,
not realizing that we'd see twenty-or-so more before the day was over!
