Let's go to the Springs

While we were at Denise's we decided to take the girls to the springs. The first day we went to Blue Springs. In case you are unaware, the springs are 72 degrees year round(brrrrrr). Stephanie & Katie were so excited and couldn't wait to get in there swimsuits. They had no idea what to expect!

This is cold, but I like it! Katie wasn't about to venture further!

In the winter time you can usually see a manatee at these springs. Denise had told us that we wouldn't see one, but guess what...we saw two!!!

These baby manatees were released

from Sea World earlier in the year.

On Friday, we decided to go to another spring. This time in the hope that the girls would get in better. Blue Springs was rocky and not a real good place to get in the water without an adult...and Denise and mommy weren't about to get in that cold water!!

So, we picked Shellie, Denise's daughter, up from school and took her with us. Shellie isn't fond of cold water either so she didn't plan to get in much either so she wore a white t-shirt and shorts. Well, the girls had waited for two days to spend time with Shellie and they weren't about to settle for her just to put her feet in!

We had such a wonderful time and were sad to leave. We are looking forward to a visit this summer with them at our house. Thanks for a great time Denise!!! We love you.
