The Springs

This morning, Renee, John & I took Lola to the coolest place in Florida--literally! We visited the Wekiwa Springs State Park about 30 minutes from where Grandma & Grandpa live. As is usual for mid-summer in the Sunshine State, it was already 85 degrees by 9:30 this morning, when we arrived. The natural spring pool is set in a beautiful, lush forest for all to enjoy. The water is as cool and refreshing as you could possibly imagine. If we were anywhere else, the water would be deemed to frigid to enter, but not here! Us adults were a little shocked at the temperature when we first entered, but not Lola. She didn't seem to mind the cold water at all and after about a minute in the clear waters, it was comfortable to us all. Lola couldn't stop dipping her little hand into the water and sucking on her fingers to take drinks!

I didn't bring my camera, but Joe and Traci joined us later in the morning and they snapped some pictures. You can see their pictures HERE.
