We started the day getting food ready for Thanksgiving dinner. Here Reuben is helping prep the brussel sprouts. Nothing makes 1 year olds happier than some yummy brussel sprouts.
Then we went to the swamp. Again. The waters receded enough for us to try a new trail.
Reuben decided he wanted to do a lot of the walking Himself.
It's hard to show how gigantic the old growth trees are. Here are some acorns from a grand old Oak. They were dropping all over the place with ominously loud thumps. It made us wish we brought helmets.
Here's Reuben stuffing one of the giant acorns in his mouth.

Several times Reuben decided to start trailblazing.
We did our best to retrieve him before he ran into too many snakes and gators.
We had a great time and built up a good appetite for our Thanksgiving meal. I'm grateful to live so close to such a wonderful park. And this is my new favorite picture.

Brussel sprouts, yum! Rueben can come to our house and have a party with Grammy, Trina, and I. We love 'em too!
Love that little nature boy...
Have you ever seen a gator at Congaree Swamp?
looks great. although i don't envy the gators or snakes, it would be fun to live near a swamp.
