I have the longest bucket list. I was pretty excited to go down to Louisiana since one of the items on my bucket list was to take a swamp tour. We had a long drive back to Georgia, so we had to do our swamp tour first thing in the morning. When we go to the swamp tour we saw this raccoon eating what looked like was once a carved alligator. The boys were thrilled to see it (we actually see them regularly squished on the road here...it's a problem).
Watching the raccoon play in a tree.
Our guide was so good. He had all sorts of information about the swamp and alligators. He did a good job.
It was pouring rain on our tour and it couldn't have been any more perfect. It was truly so beautiful with the rain and the mist and birds flying around.
It was so freaky to see our first alligator. Our guide told us that they don't always see very many of them and we saw a ton of them!
It was crazy to see them go after the fish that the guide held out.
This was probably my favorite part of the whole tour.
Honestly so cool!
This picture just makes me laugh, like he's say to the guide to get him something else to eat.
So so pretty.
Checking out some leeches...gross.
An old graveyard that is in the swamp.
I don't anyone was currently living here, but I have heard that people actually do live in the swamp and we saw someone's house on a boat that the definitely lived in. It even had a garden attached.
Crayfish.
The guide would throw marshmallows to get the alligators to come closer. The loved them.
The guide had a gator that everyone could hold. Luckily he taped the mouth shut...
Seriously this tour was one of my favorite things we have ever done as a family!
