Honey Island Swamp Tour

Yesterday we took a little trip a few miles down the road to the Honey Island Swamp in Slidell. We loaded up on a flat bottom boat and headed down the Pearl River into the swamp. We saw lots of wildlife and had tons of fun. Eli was really into the snakes and alligators, Sam was more interested in the boat than anything else. I liked all of the birds. We saw Egrets, Cranes, Hawks, Nutrias, Alligators, Snakes, Craw fish, and lots more. We also learned a lot about the swamps. Pretty cool having this right down the road from us. Even though we saw 2 alligators they were both real small, the big daddy's are still hibernating right now. We might have to go back in the summer to see big Mo the 1500 pound alligator that lives near the docks. Here are some pictures and videos from the tour, my camera is not so great so you might have to play I Spy to see if you can find the animals :)





Here we go!





Here is where you get to play I Spy! Can you find the alligators hiding? How would you like to live in the house that has an alligator hanging out on the back deck? I know that Captain Charlie said that Alligators aren't aggressive like Crocodiles, but I still wouldn't like to mess with these guys (even if they are only 3 to 4 feet long)!


I will be fixing more videos and pictures and adding them soon! :)
