Brazos Bend State Park

Two weekends ago after Brent got off work we took a little trip to Brazos Bend State Park to see some wild alligators. I have to admit that I was a little nervous about it at first . . . what was I supposed to do if the gators chased me?! I happen to like all of my limbs :) But I survived - all limbs intact. The gators were mostly at a distance either in the water or on an island. We counted as many as we could spot and reached 22 after our walk around the lake. Here's just a few pics of the gators and the area that we took:

Flamingos! - real ones :)
