Day trip to Manatee Springs

On Monday we went to Manatee Springs with four other families in our ward. Our camera battery died so we weren't able to take any pictures. I did however find some pictures on line. It was such a beautiful place. We saw 5 manatees, a turtle and a lot of fish that were jumping out of the water. We had a picnic lunch and let the kids play on the playground. We will have to go back before we move to get some of our own photos. The springs are at a constant 72 degrees year round. It wasn't warm enough for us to want to go swimming, however there were people swimming in the springs. We also saw a few people snorkeling. It was a fun day trip.

At first I thought that was Geoff swimming in the pool, but then realized it was a Manatee instead...ok, just kidding. I am very jealous of all the fun things you guys get to do down there. thanks for the update.

That looks like an awesome place. So pretty. I remember doing a report in elementary school on manatees. What a great mammal.

What an amazing experience! I hope you do get to go again so you can get some pics. Cameras can be such a pain sometimes. You have had so many great opportunities in Florida!
