Fun in the Villages

Fun in the villages. Riley hitching a ride.
 

Kite flying!
 

Shuffle board and bocce ball.





We had so much fun on this trip!

State Park

We went to a really neat state park the next day. It's called Silver Springs State Park and it's in Ocala. They have the original glass bottomed boats and you can tour the springs and see super cool stuff under the clear water. I highly recommend it. Oh, and they have manatees! They also have a zoo area and a safari ride. We all had a great time. What you're looking at is well over 50 feet deep.

This was a really old and strange tree


Silly children
 
 


Ostrich eggs. 


And we spent about 20 minutes watching these alligators. They were the most active ones we've ever come across. They were in and out of the water. They kept crawling all over each other. It was so neat! The kids were not nearly as impressed as we were.

The Villages, FL

We headed to The Villages after breakfast in Disney.  It was Riley's official birthday so as soon as we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house, we celebrated!


It had ice cream cones on top!
 

You know Brock wanted one of those cones
 

He greatly enjoyed said cone.
 

Presents!
 


Thank you for the awesome stuff, Grandma
 

Sadly, my children have inherited my penchant for having piles of stuff hanging around all over. I think this was Riley's creation.
 

 State Park up next!
