This morning we went to Wakulla Springs. One of our favorite places to visit. It is a state park with natural springs and tons of Florida wildlife. Even alligators! They have glass bottom boat rides and the water is so clear you can see straight down like 100 feet! It is where they filmed Creature from the Black Lagoon and Tarzan (original old movies). They have a lodge also. With no televisions in the rooms or phones. They have a greatroom in the lobby that has a large checkers table. Last year when we went they had an archaeological dig. That was an unexpected surprise. They had some extra teacher like people around who talked with the kids about what exactly they were doing.
Today we went down to celebrate a friend's son's birthday. Oddly enough, it was 61 degrees with a brutal wind. The kids hung around the grill to get warm! My friend took the kids on a nature walk and had them run to warm up. They played on the playground. No swimming or boat rides today. Sixty-one degrees and everyone was bundled up. Once the kids quit complaining about the cold they had a great time. We get spoiled living in Florida . . .
