Day Trip

So, things have been so busy around here that I haven't had time to fill ya'll in on our weekend. Friday morning we met my parents and my nephew and niece in Marianna, Fl. at the Florida Caverns.

It's been about a year since we'd seen my niece. She is about a month older than Luke. They all played well with each other and were excited to be together!
We debated about who was going in the caves, I was afraid SK might not do too well down there, but we all went down. She did pretty good, she only had a few "moments".

Here's a small meltdown!

This was the only spot they were allowed to touch the whole time we were down there.



This little bat was hanging from the ceiling near the exit. It must have been in a coma or something. It didn't move, I believe I could have touch it!


After the cave tour we went on a very hot hike in the woods.






After all the caving and hiking we were hungry so we grabbed some lunch and then we went here....

Blue Springs. It is some of the most beautiful and COLDEST water ever!!! It took the kids a little while to get used to the cold water. The water is so clear and blue. The bottom has white sand just like the beach and the dark spots are patches of weed like seaweed.










SK preferred to roll around in the sand which was probably a good thing because they cleared out the part of the spring we were in do to a SNAKE!!!!! Fortunately no one was harmed.






This place was great, we will definitely go back. We had fun and I think the kids made some great memories with their cousins. It was a wonderful way to end our summer!
