Fishing

Mark and I were trying to find something fun to do this weekend and we decided to go fishing. We have a State Park Pass which gets us into any of the Texas State Parks for free until March. It is also fish for free this year within the Parks so we didn't need a fishing license for any of us. So we loaded the kids up and went to a place called Choke Canyon Lake. Well to fish in the actual Lake you need a boat. There were to many weeds around the shore to fish from it, but the kids did get to throw some rocks in.

SO after eating lunch and throwing rocks into the lake we decided to drive back to a litte area at the Park called 75 Acre Lake area. It is also the Tent camping site. When we got there we found a sign that said Alligators swim in these waters. I thought it was all a big joke and told Kylee, who was scared to death to fish here, that the likelyhood of actually seeing an alligator was really slim and there probably weren't even any in the Lake.

Well as you can see I was wrong. If you can't tell that is an American Alligator in the photo, and yes it was real. It slowly moved back into the water as the day went on. If you know Mark and I; you know this didn't stop us. We went around the bend and fished any way. We made sure to put the two little kids right at the waters edge.

We did not see another alligator and we didn't catch any fish. We did see a lot of fish jumping but we could not find what they wanted to eat. All in all it was an awesome adventure.
