On Sunday we took a drive to the Orlando Temple. It was all locked up, thanks to Covid, but we still walked around. The kids chased lizards.
Then we headed to Ocala National Forest to the Silver Glen Springs.
It was pretty amazing. Again we ate lunch in the parking lot before we went down to the water. Me and Mike listened into Rylee's homecoming, she did such a great job! I loved hearing about her mission, and for her reasons for going.
I wasn't planning on getting in the water here, but there were manatees, so I had to! It was so fun! There was a mom and her baby. There is a spring so the water was clear and perfect for snorkeling. Wes went in while me and Mike were listening to Rylee, I think he must have gotten a little too close and it freaked him out, because by the time we got in he refused to get in! We also saw some jumping fish.
There was a lady there snorkeling and she said there were hundreds of manatees out a little farther. We would have needed kayaks. Next time...
When we got our we started on a little walk around to the other side of the spring, but we saw bear poop everywhere! And we heard a noise. So half of us decided it was too risky, and turned back. On our way back we started talking to a guy that worked there, he said he see's bears almost every morning, but they never bother him, so he walked us back to our group. We did not see any bears, thank goodness. My dad started feeling sick this day.
The kids were so excited to get back to the house and swim, it was really there first chance to really enjoy the pool.
