A 750-plus-acre wetland preserve on the edge of Sugar Land: a boardwalk reaches out into White Lake, the observation tower looks across the whole lake at egrets and cormorants, and with luck there's an alligator sunning on the bank. The 2-year-old counts birds on the boardwalk while the 7-year-old is on gator patrol.
