Saturday in Florida

On Saturday, we visited my cousin Scott at his fire station which is located at the airport.  We had visited him at his previous stations in Tampa, and he wanted to show the boys his newest assignment.  


The boys got to use the driving simulator

Look at these trucks!!  Beefy!!

Scott took the boys on the tarmac and showed off the equipment
Thanks, cousin Scott!!  What a nice visit!!

So, I just HAD to see some manatees on this trip.. I remember them from growing up in Florida, seeing them in canals and knowing their trusting and kind nature... I wanted to share that with my boys.  Scott suggested we head up to Homosassa Springs, which was on the way to my mom's house.  

We took a short boat ride up the Homosassa River, which was gorgeous

The boys check out manatees which were wintering at the park
Manatee heaven!

Yay!!


There were a couple of weird-looking ones

And even weirder ones

What a great place!  Thumbs up!!
