Blue Springs

Brayden had off of school on President's Day and we attempted to take a drive over to Blue Springs to check out all the manatees since it was cold out that day, unfortunately I guess that was on a lot of peoples agenda because we couldn't get it. There was a long wait and people were parked along the road just waiting to get in. Luckily there was a park near by and we were able to  let the kids play!

So Ian and I decided on another cold day to take a ride and we scored! We were able to get in and they had a total of 66 manatees there that day. We walked along the spring and were able to see a few. I was expecting that there would be more and they were far apart so we saw one or two every hundred feet or so. We stopped by the camp store for a snack and coffee to warm up and the boys each got a manatee souvenir.

We'll be going camping here at the end of April and we are excited to explore the park more, with warmer weather!
