Yesterday was Father's Day so we took Daddy to Juniper Springs since he loves visiting all of Florida's springs (did you know that there are literally a TON of springs in Florida to visit?!??!!  See them all here)

We had not yet ever been to Juniper Springs so we thought we'd check it out!  We started off the day by making Josh his favorite breakfast: Biscuits & Gravy!  We then headed to Juniper Springs.  The springs are about an hour and twenty minute drive from our house.  We went swimming first (Juliette and I floated in our awesome new inner tube...thanks Daddy!)  We followed that with a nice picnic lunch and then a walk on one of their nature trails.  Juliette was so excited to see the wildlife...fish, turtles and an alligator!  

We had such a great day!  We are so lucky to have you (Daddy/Josh) in our lives!  You are such a great Daddy!  We love you!

Yesterday, we went to visit Silver Springs...Florida’s first tourist attraction and one of the largest artesian springs in the world!  The springs are about an hour and a half drive from our house...the perfect day trip.  The park is renowned for the Glass Bottom Boat tours...so we had to try it out!  And we are so glad we did!  I highly recommend the tour!  We had so much fun!  We took the 30 minute boat ride, but I would have gladly signed up for the 90 minute version!  As soon as we got on the boat, Juliette's eye lit up!  Everyone on the boat, sits around a giant piece of 1/2 inch think glass floor.  Between looking through the floor and peeking around the sides of the boat, you see all kinds of fish & other wildlife (like alligators chilling on the side of the river!).  We were on the hunt for the monkeys (click here for more "monkey" info)...but never saw any.  Guess we will need to go back! 

p.s. Juliette is wearing a Naartjie size 3-6 month DRESS as a shirt :)  We sure have gotten our $ worth out of that purchase!
