Here we GATOR again!!!

DANG! That is a creative title!! I told ya we'd have more to blog about soon!! Adam's brother, Jared, is here for a little visit! It took Caleb about 60 seconds to warm up to him and since then he has been ALL OVER HIM!! Caleb gets SO excited when he gets visitors!!! Jared hasn't spent a lot of time here in Houston so of course the first stop on our list (other than like 50 delicious restaurants), was the gator park! YES it was super hot today...we were certainly glowing! BUT we saw some great wildlife...per the ranger...Alligators are very docile creatures, unless you throw sticks at them! Adam kept his eye out for any poisonous snakes (he didn't wear his running shoes today though...WINK) And Caleb just enjoyed the ride! Enjoy our day!!


GATORS!!!
It's definitely hard NOT to throw a stick at!!!


A little view from the ground while Adam, Caleb and Jared climbed to the top of the observatory!


The boys at the top...


It's pretty high up!


This fella was hanging out right next to the pier that you can walk out onto...
Almost doesn't look real...right?!?


One of the biggest gators we saw today...I am always reminded of Joe Dirt...
Rule #1 I'm number one
Rule #2 Gator's number two...wassup!


We are in a major drought here in Texas and the swamp was gooier than usual this visit! The only difference was the lily pads...they were EVERYWHERE and the yellow flowers were gorgeous!


EVERYWHERE!


On to the visitors center...


Not quite sure if this raccoon is real...


AWWW it's not!



More fun in the visitors center!


Caleb petting the baby alligator...Jared got a cute video on his phone that we'll try TRY to post later!

WE FINALLY SAW

ARMADILLOS!!!!


I have lived in Texas for about 4 years now and the only armadillos I have EVER seen were dead on the road...these fellas must've heard we were coming!! This has completed my Texas Bucket List! I have been looking out for armadillos since we moved here...i am now completely obsessed!!!! You don't want to know how many pics we took of the three amigos here!!
ARMADILLOS!!!!

PS the only reason we even caught them was because Adam had just spotted a snake crossing the road...we were in the car so don't worry...Adam wouldn't get out of the car though!
