On 11/1/2011, we had a field trip with a group of homeschooling families to Brazos Bend National Park. It is about 1/2 hour road trip from our house. We being to this park quite a few times, just tat this time we had a tour guide guiding us along the trail explaining all the things around the park.
The volunteer is explaining why it is important to have trees and tell us this tree fall during hurricane and now become a new habitat for some animals.
4 stories tall observatory tower where the kids can view three different ecosystem---marshland, swamp and wetlands.
Ethan took this picture at the top of the tower.

The boys are touching the 2 months old alligator.
They are having lots of fun inside the nature center.
The wetlands is covered by green duckweed. The dried up lotus can be seen all over the big pond.
Can you see the big alligator? There are many alligator in this park, but most time just laying lazily basking under the sun.
