Egypt's First Father/Daughter Overnight Trip
Everglades National Park
February 2012
Day One:
Two days in paradise. Egypt enjoyed our trip to the Everglades. As usual, we tried to pack in as much as possible: hikes, tram ride and wildlife viewing. Egypt loves alligators and made my heart stop more than a few times since it's not like a zoo with protective barriers between the visitors and the wildlife. I would grab her hand or shirt and she would yell "no hold hand" or "no hold shirt". Birds on the other hand scare Egypt immensely. Except for the one bird pictured below on a railing, Egypt wanted nothing to do with birds. Kind of silly since she has no fear of alligators.
Day One:
Egypt making a friend:
Observation tower at the half way point of the tram tour:
Snacking on native vegetation:
Looking for alligators:
Heard something in the scrub:
"Hi alligator":
Day Two:
The only bird that didn't scare Egypt (I think she thought it was a duck):
