Last week I was lucky enough to visit my family who live just outside of Houston, TX. We had a ton of fun together- Sea World, visiting the Alamo, eating Mexican Food and visiting some alligator swamps. We even did in impromptu family session while at these swamps. There were alligators everywhere- just mere feet away from the walking trail with no fences or anything of the sort. I could have reached out petted the ones that were resting by the foot path. It was a bit creepy for me- all I could think about was a alligator jumping up and grabbing the stroller taking Violet with him- lol. The paranoia of a new mom. All-in-all in was a great trip and I’m happy to share a part of it with you.
