Silver Springs

We went on a boat ride up the river to Silver Springs. It was beautiful and we saw some amazing things. There were animals everywhere.

Heading out into the river. Dominic had to be at the front.Caitlin was quite content sitting in the back with Grammy. The goldfish might have made a difference. =)The picture is so small. But this is of a mommy duck and her nine little babies.Dominic eating a snack with Grammy and Gramps.Caitlin finally stopped eating to check out the view. The water was so clear that we could see all the way to the bottom of the river regardless of how deep it was.We stopped and anchored the boat so we could have a picnic lunch.Jon and his brother Jason.Our family! Aunt Sue took the picture. Left to right-
Jason, Kim, Dominic, Grammy, Me, Jon, Caitlin, Gramps, Uncle Tom (front)This bird can't fly very well with wet wings. So he's drying his wings before taking off.Thought this tree was cool.The whole way up everyone was keeping their eyes out for the monkeys. The story goes that these monkeys were used for a movie years ago and escaped. So they have made a home here in the woods near the river.We saw quite a few alligators. There were several huge ones and we even saw a couple of babies.Uncle Jason's beard.Dominic had to have one too.Aunt Kim's new hair.
