This is me demonstrating the art of tree climbing. The picture does not provide the proper perspective of how high in the tree I am, but the kids were impressed. It is nice to have kids that are still young enough to impress. 
Jared, Brett and Ryan under a dead tree branch. I have to be in the picture again to hold Ryan so he does not fall off the log. Right before the picture was taken Ryan fell down and hurt himself while we were walking and we did not want him to fall again.
Due to the wind and cold weather, the alligator sightings were rare. We did see a couple swimming, but none were sunning themselves on the bank where we could get a good look at them. Following our hike, we went to the Visitors Center and the place was packed. They were having an Earth Day Celebration and there were booths and activities for the kids to do. Even though we did not get to see very many alligators, we had the chance to pet a baby alligator. This is Brett and Jared doing just that.
In addition to petting the baby alligator, we had the chance to pet a corn snake. I really do not like snakes very much.
In addition to the snakes and the alligators, the kids had a chance to hold a turtle.
This is Jared putting the turtle back.
They had a rock climbing wall set-up so the kids had the chance to try it out. This is Jared and Ryan getting ready to do some climbing.
This is an action shot of the kids climbing the wall. I am mostly pushing Ryan up the wall, but he was having fun.
