Hiking and Close Encounters

Last weekend we went to a nature reserve close to us.  It was a gorgeous day; perfect weather to be out of doors.  We had never been to this particular place before but we all totally enjoyed it.  It had a neat little learning center and then several different hikes to choose from.  We chose to hike along the lake to see what alligators we could find.  We ended up seeing a LOT.  It was fun but slightly frightening to be so close to the wildlife.
