A Houston family challenged themselves to travel to all 89 Texas state parks. After six years, their mission is accomplished. The Strauss family didn't start out as nature enthusiasts, but they certainly are now.
"We saw an alligator there that we named Snappy McSnapperface," Strauss said.
"It's been really interesting watching them grow and be able to handle longer and more intensive hikes," Strauss said. "At the end of the day, state parks are in the business of conserving natural resources, but we're also in the business of making memories," he said."Getting kids involved, creating those lasting memories, that's what creates the park in the future. They're the ones who are going to be standing up for parks and national conservation."
