Bluebonnet Swamp


The weekend before finals started for Stephen we decided we had better do something together since he was going to be locked in his office for the next week or two.

So we decided to go to Bluebonnet swamp and get our first real taste of the "bayou".

In the parking lot there's a pond full of turtles which Alice loved, especially because she can say "turtle".

And it's really cute to hear her say it because she kinda over articulates it.


 We went into the nature center and she got to see a snake up close.



She was interested in all the reptiles, not so sure of them, but not really scared either.




Then we went on the walking path that goes through the swamp.

It was really beautiful and a really nice day.


We saw a bunny, which had a swarm of mosquitoes attacking its nose.

It was really gross, and I felt really bad for it.


There were lots of crazy looking caterpillars.

Which meant that Stephen and I spent the whole day with the "Caterpillar, caterpillar, tickle tickle on my arm" song stuck in our head.


So pretty, right?!



We had to keep a close eye on Alice for fear of her falling into the swamp, especially since we saw a couple snakes in the water.





It was a really fun outing and we will definitely go again.
