Made it

This weekend we went down to Salt Springs to visit SK. He's down practice fishing for the St. John's River. We did our traditional stop at the Florida welcome center for "the best fresh orange juice ever".
As the last sun rays of the day were leaving, we pulled up to the boat ramp. SK was just about to take the boat out of the water. Instead of taking it out, we all jumped in the boat to see if we could catch just a glimpse of a manatee. Boy, did we ever!
On our maybe fifteen minute trolling motor ride around the spring, we saw about ten! The kid's eyes and smiles were huge. They had forgotten how large the sea cows were and it was as if they were seeing the creatures again for the first time. Magical.
