Magnolia gardens

Saturday was a beautiful day and it was crazy. We had the service project until 1:00 and it was such a nice day we wanted to go to the beach but chose to take naps instead.... good decision.

Our home teacher invited us to go to the Magnolia Gardens with him. we had been there before but he took us through the Audubon Swamps. It was awesome.
We saw so many animals in their natural habitat.
This was just one of the many alligators we saw. They were about 2 feet away.

This was the mom alligator....And these were her babies. We counted nearly 20 little alligators just swimming around.These two pics were taken at the petting zoo. The deer were just walking around and I am pretty sure that the white peacock was just showing off... but it was sure beautifulThis was the bamboo forest

These are heron just feeding their newborn chicks. Not a bad shot, but there were a couple of profession photographers there that huge zoom lenses and they let us take a look and it was awesome. It was like we were inside the nest.

This is my little family walking through some beautiful trees. The man is our home teacher and is a great juggler so he just walks around juggling... seriously it is awesome.

It was a beautiful day for service and a beautiful day for a walk.

What??? I'd be so scared that those aligators would be having me for lunch! It all looks so beautiful!! I'm glad you had such a peaceful and special place to go after such a hectic morning. Save these beautiful times in your mind because you won't always be there to enjoy them. You might end up living in IDAHO where it is desert and sagebrush.
