Barbara Manatee

 Today we drove down to DeLand to see the manatees.  We went 2 years ago, arriving at lunch time and had to wait an hour just to get into the park.  It's nice that the park limits the number of people because it really would be unpleasant to be trying to see the manatee with hundreds of people. 
So this year we arrived at 8:30 and went right in.
 G was grumpy to be waken up early.  He said he only slept for 5 hours which means he didn't go to bed until 2am.  Great.  He eventually came around and I'm glad he was such a helpful and loving young man to be around.
 lP was blessed by her thoughtful sister M.  M found this manatee doll for $1 at Haven Hospice.  She thought to bring it along for the little ones.  lP carried it around the whole time.  Many small children asked their parents to get them one from the gift shop. 
 The children enjoyed standing on this tree stump at the spring head.  It was so nice and nobody cried much.  L has a cough but no fever or green snot.  Still it's a bad cough.
Later at the playground the big kids were all on the tube while L climbed through.  He's such a lucky kid to have 4 big siblings that adore him.
