The Springs

This weekend we headed up to Silver River campground with our homeschooling friends Toni, Dan and William to check out the natural springs.







Here you can see the aqua blue by the boat shows where the water is over 50 feet deep and the springs are continuously pumping out clear water












We took three glass-bottom boat rides in different parts of the river
















This thing was amazing: an American crocodile 16 feet long and 2,000 pounds













Having nothing to do with Florida or the springs: these are just beautiful animals

Spring Break 2

Ugh-- this is what our tire looked like when we pulled in to get gas on the way to Georgia to see PawPaw. Who knows how long we rode along like that! We got the spare tire on, but couldn't get a replacement for it. Unfortunately, we had to cancel on PawPaw : ( but we'll see him on Memorial Day weekend.

FLORIDA OLD GIRLS' REUNION
St. Augustine Beach

The Old Girls rented two big houses right on the ocean and we camped nearby. We had a great time!


Jackie and Teresa catch up on things and enjoy the view.

Spring Break

Fun at the Zoo!




Lookit me! I'm drivin' !!

There has been a notable lack of new pictures on this here blog, but we have a perfectly reasonable explanation: we have been pouring all of our time and energy into teaching Smokey how to drive.
