This was our fullest day but was probably my favorite day of our entire trip! We started the morning by driving over to LaPlace for a SWAMP TOUR!
We had the greatest swamp tour guide. He is definitely from "the bayou"! He talked just like you would expect, was born and raised on the bayou, and had some pretty great stories. We learned it's all about checking the alligators pupils - the ones with the biggest pupils are the ones to be scared of! Good to know!
We easily saw over fifty alligators. It was crazy!
Waiting to get on the boat...

| I think the "blood" dripping from his mouth is a nice touch! |
Our first gator...
 |
| Independence...it's a killer |
 |
| I think the raccoon was Sarah's favorite part! |
 |
| This was a cemetery right on the side of the swamp from a small community that was destroyed during a flood of 1915. I truly cannot imagine living right here! |
 |
| This was my first time in the south and even though it is ridiculously HOT the scenery is beautiful and so different from what I am used to. I was completely mesmerized by it all. |
We had a great time! It was such a neat experience and definitely a highlight for everyone!
