An outing at Brazos Bend State Park

We are proud new owners of a new Nikon D5100 dslr camera!  We took it out for a test drive on Saturday while at Brazos Bend State Park.  It was the most beautiful day and we had so much fun exploring, biking and snapping pics.  

Our day started out with a picnic lunch and a little crocodile watching.  Yep, they are right there hanging out in the water right next to the trails!  

 {This one is totally blurry but I love their smiles and the picnic table in the background}

 See the crocodile hanging out right behind the Roo?!

The baby croc was hard to see and I thought she was so cute sneezing but soon found out that she was hissing at us.  We decided to not stick around.

A few years ago I took a picture of the kids in this exact same tree.  

They have grown so much! 

 The trees there were incredible!  Perfect for climbing.  

Somebody needed a little help getting back down.

And the vines were perfect for swinging.

It was a great day and I'm so thankful that hubby somehow got that day off.  It was a much needed outside family time while the weather is still bearable down here.  We bought year long passes in hopes of getting out to other parks more.   Have you been to a state park lately?  Where did you go and what did you do there?  I would love to hear about it.
