Brazos Bend

We went camping this weekend at Brazos Bend State Park and it was a good time! Finn is like our very own little Mogli child, He loves being outside so he was pretty excited about the idea of eating, sleeping, and playing outside all day! It was a sweet set up, Daniel had to work until 5 so we didn't get up there until almost 7, but when we got there the tents were set up and dinner was cooking! We were pretty lucky! Also the food was amazing, with peach cobbler, AND banana boats, we ate better camping then we would have if we had stayed home for sure!

 

Finn loved hanging out with Kelsie and Mitch, I think he can sense that they are going to be parents soon!!

 

as you can see Finn was pretty excited about Mitch's hair

 
 Finn did so well. After taking a few naps in daddy's arms he fell asleep when we did around midnight and then didn't wake up until 7:30, he loved being able to sleep with D and I so when he woke up he just starting giggling and climbing all over us, it was a pretty cute way to be woken up.

 Here's Heather, John, Emily, and TC. Jerrick came too but he had to leave early before we busted out our camera.

 The coolest part about Brazos Bend are the Alligator walks. There are paths that are lined with swamps that are full of alligators!! We started out seeing a few small ones that were on the other side of the bank, and ended with a giant one eating a turtle like 5 feet away from us! To be honest Finn was pretty oblivious to the whole alligator thing, and after a night of little sleep he ended up sleeping most of the hike.

 

Here's the video of the alligator eating the turtle, right in the beginning you can here a huge crunch of the turtle's shell cracking. It was kinda sad, and super creepy, but really what are the chances?! Usually alligators are super lazy and pretty boring so we were stoked to find this!
