Today we started out pretty early because we wanted to get to Brookgreen Gardens National Historic Landmark. This place was an amazing site because it was filled with beautiful statues and flowers. Some of the flowers were lillies, poppies, tulips, azalea, native azaleas, daffodils, and dog wood. They were all different colors like pink, yellow, red, and orange. The statues were elaborate and not easy to make. My favorite was the one that stood in front of the Brookgreen Gardens Entrance. This statue was called "Fighting Stallions", the largest aluminum casting ever made, is the symbol (logo) of Brookgreen Gardens and was created in 1950.
We got to see animals there, like otters, Marsh Tacky Ponies, red tail fox, and many more. The otters were really funny because one of them was trying to sleep, while the other played with him. The playful one would end up rubbing his head against the other. The sleepy one tried to move away but it did not work. Then we sadly had to leave the otters to see other animals. After we were done seeing the animals, we went to another park.

Huntington Beach State Park
As we drove across the causeway to Huntington Beach State Park, we witnessed two alligators on a ramp and one in the shallows. We were able to walk near the one to get pictures. My family and I went in the information site. We saw tons of underwater animals and snakes. Then we walked on the boardwalk and we spotted tons of snapper crabs, little white crabs with one big claw that they close with a snapping sound. We also saw a red-tailed fox all beat-up looking. Finally we went wading in the ocean.
