Florida, Part 1...

We've been having fun in Florida, but boy did I forget how very HOT and HUMID it is down here!! I will never complain about a summer day in Maine again.

(this is a very picture heavy post)
 We've done a whole lot of this....


 And some of this(looking at my high school town and reminiscing)
 And this... a visit to Homosassa Springs state park....
 The river boat ride in....


 Saw a wild gator on the shore...


 At the visitor center....
 More gators
 These guys were fat!
 And big Old Lu the hippo...(the only non native resident of the park, but he has been there since 1964 and isn't moving any time soon)

  babies...
 An American crocodile...
 Otters....
 Bobcat....
 Lots and Lots of birds....









 Big furry black bear...
 My little manatees(yes, I made them do this :) )





 Some really big fish...
 The underwater observatory in the spring...
 And the manatees... I didn't get any good pics of them unfortunately.  These ones live in the spring for now and can not be released until they are ready.

We have also enjoyed spending lots of time with my sister and her family. The kids say they want to take their aunt Shelly home with us :)

Having lots of fun,

Tiff
