My health hasn’t been the best and it was wonderful to put the doctors and worry aside for an afternoon and get out on the water. There is something so peaceful about having my family together in nature. This spot on Strickland Creek, in the Tomoka River basin, is one of our favorite spots.
It was a beautiful day!
Even the dog came along.
I had to chuckled at the above image. Seems I am a referee a lot lately with two girls ages 2 and 5 in the house. They were even fighting over a fish.
We are always on the look out for manatees!

Today we found one old manatee hanging out in the creek!
Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life! ~Albert Einstein

That looks like such fun! How cool that you saw a Manatee. They are such incredible animals.
Hugs and I hope you feel better!

I want to kidnap (dognap?) your dog. He looks awesome.

Isn’t it amazing how water can ease the stress for a while. Heading to the Suwannee River tomorrow for a little of my own healing.
