Cuz'n Trip - Blue Springs

Connie Jan Lee Niki

It was a cool day...as you can tell by our layers!
However, cold weather brings the manatees
into the springs where they can warm up.

As we walked down the boardwalk the
only manatees we saw were off in the
distance... See those white things in
the water? Those are manatees

We decided to stop and check out the steps
where you can walk down into the spring
and swim...and if you're lucky and the
manatee are there, you can swim with them.

Compared to the humans, those manatees
look REALLY big, and they are!

As we watched these slow giants move
about in the water, we lost track of time.
We all wished we had brought bathing
suits and promised that next time we'd
bring them for sure!

Lee Jan & Connie

Lee decided she wanted to share the
springs in her community with us so
we took a drive to check it out. Beautiful!

spring that is pretty much in Lee's
back yard...beautiful...

Our last night with Lee...it was so good to
be all together and enjoying life!
