A Walk to Remember

Fish, birds and gators, oh my!
On Friday we went to the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center. Originally we were going to go to SpaceX, but Dad wasn’t feeling well and we didn’t want to go without him, so instead we left him behind and went to the nature center instead. Most of the animals there were not captive,
