On day 2 in Florida, we went to Weeki Watchi, which is the only place you can see LIVE mermaids! Devyn liked the show until the scary sea witch came out. :P She also really enjoyed playing in the spring.
On our first day in Florida, we went to the Circle Bar B Preserve in Lakeland. It was better than any of us anticipated! Beautiful natural Florida with lots of wildlife—including dozens and DOZENS of gators in the lake!
We went for a nice walk down to the two ponds near our lake. We walked and walked and spent almost an hour wandering around, looking at ants and bugs, listening to frogs and ducks and birds, and just exploring. Beautiful time.
