On a gorgeous March day, our family headed out for our first camping trip. I will have to admit I had some mixed feelings about the whole adventure. Cor and the kids were quite pumped to go, I was a little more reserved. We were joined, (or rather we joined) some friends from church who are very experienced campers. When they lived in Alaska they camped EVERY weekend! We arrived on Thursday afternoon, set up our tents...(good thing we did a practice run at it at home first) and started exploring the camp ground. The creation was absolutely beautiful. We stayed for two nights, breaking me in slowly. Other than all the ticks the adventure was fantastic, and I would most definitely do it again. It was our first time camping and my first time having s'mores! Can you believe that?! They are so yummy.
the temperature of the spring is always 69,
we couldn't go swimming because apparently humans and manatees don't mix.
We could see at least 4 huge manatees swimming around.
Save the manatees!!
Manatee SpringI could just sit here for hours it was so incredibly peaceful and beautiful.

Looks like fun! Looks something like Blue Springs State Park in Florida. We went and saw Manatee there a while back...but we also could swim down the river to the hot springs! And yes...I must agree S'mores are delicious! Nice post!
Hey Marlene, what a fun adventure (nice pics) but I'm still in shock that you've never had s'mores...and that it's your first camping trip! Glad you enjoyed it and I must admit... tenting is brave!! You're making wonderful memories for your family - they all looked so happy!! Hopefully you get out a couple more times this summer! Have a great weekend!
