(While Alex was in a tree, I got the honor of holding his stick and his lizard. Lucky me!)
Alex was pretty in love with his lizard buddy. Later that afternoon we were buying baby crickets to keep him fed...because every mom really wants a lizard living in a container on her kitchen counter. Fortunately, crickets don't live long and once they were all gone, we let the lizard go in the front yard.
The park wasn't exactly beautiful in the middle of winter, but it had several lakes full of wildlife so the hiking was lots of fun. We saw all kinds of ducks, geese, and ibis.
We hiked about 3.5 miles altogether, which was quite a feat for Casey and her little legs, but I helped her on the stairs to the platform overlooking some of the lakes.
It took a while, but we finally started spotting some of the wildlife we really wanted to see - alligators! This one was sunning himself just off the path.
We spotted to big daddy on a little island. Can't wait to go back when the weather is warmer and they're all out!
