Presidents Day

  For presidents day we decided to get out. The weather has been AMAZING! We decided we would take a drive and go. We ended up at Manatee Springs. It was gorgeous! This time of year all the Manatees come up into the springs to get away from the cold. We saw 2. One momma and her baby calf. It was fun then we saw SNAKES........ and more snakes........ and more snakes. YUCK! The boys loved it the girls were ready to jump into the car.
 You can not see them but there were  manatees out there.Were the ripple is .
 
 Snake #1.... Do you see him?
 There were about 30 of the big buzzard looking birds in one spot. It was weird.
 My big boy loving that his jeans had pockets!!!!!


 Snake #2

 Snake #3 and 4
 Snake #6 and 7
 Then we plays on the playground and had fun!
 By the end of the day we had a wonderful time the kiddos slept all the way home so Aaron and I got to hold hands and chat uninterrupted for 2 and 1/2 hours. Loved it!

My favorite things!!!

* The barriers that were there to keep us away form the snakes
* Abi's face when she realized there were snakes
*Listening to Abi and Harris chat in the back seat as we drove
*Watching Aaron and Harris talk about the snakes
*Putting me feet up on the dashboard and enjoying the ride
*The weathe*Walking with Aaron hand in hand..... I love him.
* Just being a family together

We love that park! Only when we went last August there were no snakes to be seen. Thank goodness! I think I would have died right there on the spot with all those snakes around. I HATE snakes!
