Swamp tour in Slidell

Woke up to a cloudy day.  It threatened rain our whole drive from Dauphin Island to Slidell.  I was a little worried but have tried to go with the flow and let things work themselves out....we are on vacation after all.  We went to Cajun Encounters for our tour and it was the most awesome thing!  I am tired so I will just post pictures of our wonderful trip.

A nutra rat.

 

Saw a couple of snakes too :)

We saw LOTS of raccoons!

This is the Whiskey Tree its 600 years old.  Apparently in the 20's and 30's moonshiners use to meet at this tree once a week and bring their product from the week.  They all tasted each others brew and whoevers was voted the best got to put a label on it and sell it for a dollar more a bottle than the others. 

The boys and Captain Sheldon!  Anthony thought he looked like Ben Affleck.
