Gators and Swings

Saturday was another expedition into the wilds of Texas. We went biking in the Brazos Bend State Park which is about 15 miles from us. That's an easy thing to say but I gotta tell ya, I was chewing my nails by the time we got there....there's Gators in that there park!! Yup, big teef and beady little eyes were staring at us as we rode by his position which was about 3 feet from me. Yikes! Kev figured he was about 6 feet long. We saw another one floating in the middle of a marshy area as well as a littler one (maybe 3 feet) who was sunning himself on a high piece of ground in the middle of a swamp. I wasn't about to stop and take pictures so there won't be any to show ya of our bike ride.

We'll go a more sedate route today with pictures. The photo today is of Aanika's swing that she has in the backyard (no gators there!). It's getting to be an evening ritual of her and Daddy going out to play.
