Because I Love You: Sheldon Lake

Today we decided to take the kids to this nearby nature reserve called Sheldon Lake. I had been there before with a friend of mine but Mikey had never been. Every time I went it was stifling hot, and very dry because of the drought this summer. I thought it would be interesting to see with all of the recent rain we've had.

We walked down that middle aisle there, between all the ponds and then around the other side. I believe the ponds are manmade. People can fish in them, although I overheard someone say that they are very low on fish because of the drought.

Alligator warning sign even though I've never seen an alligator there.

They recently built an observation tower, of course I probably should have taken a picture of it from the ground. Instead here is a picture of the kids in the elevator!
