I'm sure you're beginning to wonder if our vacation ever really ended. I figured the more blog posts I can stretch it into the longer it will be that I have to come back to real life. . . . .something like that. We really had a nice time. Thanks again Poc and Nana!
Well, the week had come to an end, we packed up and waited for Poc and Nana to come back from dropping Auntie off at the airport before we got on the road. We decided to stop by Brazo Bend State Park on our way home. They had a nice little visitors center and a baby alligator we could see/touch/learn about.
Kelsey's "you actually think I'm going to touch that?" look.
They had a display of alligator/crocodile sculls to compare. You pushed the button and their mouths opened. The kids had fun playing.
They also had a big "touch table" they had some neat stuff, turtle, armadillo shells, horns, snake skins etc etc.
We drove around the park and stopped at a lake. There is a path all around and we were told a Mother alligator lived nearby and could often be spotted carrying her babied on her back. We decided to not put off the remainder of our drive home any longer and opted not searching. We did walk out to the fishing dock and saw a couple alligators close by.
We carefully disobeyed the warnings and had the girls turn their backs to the alligator for a picture. There were rowdy teenage boys around who would have been a much more delicious lunch than these sweet things :)
We figured we'd seen enough and headed home. I may or may not already planning another trip to the beach again soon.

It is very hard to leave a beach, even if you don't swim in it. They are so relaxing. Again, cute shirt on Kelsey! Love ya.
