6 mile cypress


Chance looking for alligators (we didn't see any)
Yesterday we were looking for something fun to do that was a little different from just a playground so we headed out to six-mile cypress slough presserve. We followed the boardwalk back through the swamp looking for animals and listening to all the nature sounds around us. There are great learning opportunities throughout the whole presserve and Chance is entering the age where he is actually interested in what the signs say. He asked lots of questions and listened very well, staying quiet so we didn't scare away the animals.


Chance asking what the white spots on the trees are (their lichens)

We saw wild hogs, birds, turtles and fish. We sat and listened to the birds call and the bugs make their chirping noises that fill the air in the swamp. We had a great time.
