Rio Grande Valley, Spring Break - Laguna Atascosa NWR

After taking 2 days to drive to south TX, arriving at Adolph Thomae SP, and spending our first night camping, we spent our first day of vacation at Laguna Atascosa NWR.  Rod took a 4 hour morning birding tour, while the kids and I hiked and toured the visitor center.

 My little nature lovers.

 Back at Adolph Thomae campground.  Picnic...

 ...  and art.  Fortunately we were very close to the playground, where we spent a lot of our time while there.

 Day 2 - we returned to Laguna Atascosa.  This time we all took an auto tour by van to parts of the refuge not opened to the public.
