Wakulla Springs

Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE living in Florida?  There are so many beautiful places to see and things to do.  I am sure that could very likely be said of many many many places all over the US and the world.  I’m just a bit biased to Florida because Florida = Home.

One place that I have always loved is Wakulla Springs.  Talk about an interesting beautiful place with an interesting history.  The amount of wildlife that is easily visible in it’s natural habitat is always amazing to me.

And who doesn’t love a good dip in some freezing cold water!  Not me.  I only got my feet wet.  But the kids – well – even though they were a bit shocked by the cold they still loved it.

Thanks Meme for a beautiful day and a yummy lunch!  It was a great day, even if Layton did pee all over me!

Beautiful photos of the wildlife. I bet your Mom enjoyed getting out and being with you and your children. Looks like you all had fun! I don't like swimming in cold water either! :) And I agree with you, Florida is BEAUTIFUL!
