The second full day we were in Florida, we went to Morrison Springs. It was a naturally fed cold water spring. It was amazing. The only downfall was the weather! There were thunderstorms. It was raining pretty hard when we were driving and when we got there, but we waited until most of the storm blew over. It never really cleared up, but everyone still had a great time. Most of the adults didn't go swimming, except Aaron (who had a wetsuit) and Tamra. The kids didn't seem to mind. I on the other hand was freezing just standing in the rain, haha! The water was super clear and it was so pretty. The camera doesn't do the colors justice, but I'm sure it would have been even better if the sun was out.
Luke, Damon & Landry
This is the beach entry where the little kids played
I had never seen trees just coming out of the water everywhere. It was really cool.
She LOVED the water!!! It was freezing, but she didn't seem to mind!
We were so sad it was raining, so we can only imagine how pretty it would have been in the sunlight.
This is one of the pier like structures going out to a dock.
Damon and Tyce jumping in
Sorry for the blurry pictures. I had it on the wrong settings.
Swimming in the cold water
Radley jumped before I could get the camera ready, and he wasn't going to do it a second time!
Radley wasn't confident in his swimming abilities, especially in cold water, so Uncle Aaron was nice enough to help him get back to the dock.
Mom and Dad were there too!
She really loved being with Kacy and warmed up to her really fast. Coby, on the other hand, she did not like very much! Very different than Bentley who loved all men at Mackenzie's age.
I used the beach umbrella while I was watching the kids play, I had a few others join me!
View of the shallow area from the dock.
If we were at the beach house this is where all the boys were. They were making videos of themselves doing trick shots.
A much more natural shot of them!!
Bentley has always loved Brock!
Bruce and Radley always have a great time together.
While it was still storming slightly and there was a little lightning, Damon and Bruce couldn't resist. They had to get in the freezing water!
The storm moved on and just left some sprinkling clouds so the other kids got in on the fun too. The cold water didn't seem to bother anyone but the kids. Kyler didn't really get in though, not like the others.
Mackenzie had a really good time in the water. I think she loved that it wasn't too deep and the waves weren't knocking her down.
Damon was super proud of himself for jumping in!
Savanna got some videos of Damon too.
He was super excited about the slow motion video she got!
I didn't take any pictures of the dance party we had, and I honestly didn't take enough videos of the kids dancing either, but they had a lot of fun. Bentley was seriously the Dancing Queen. She danced to every song and showed all her moves. At one point Brock and Shayla got up and mimicked all of her moves; it was hilarious! She was such a ham during the entire dance. Everyone was talking about Bentley and her moves!! Mackenzie probably would have had some moves too, but it was late by the time the dancing started and she was ready for bed!
Bentley knew some of the words to this song, but she was taking it so seriously. She was too funny!
Tyce and Kyler were having a Floss Off to see who could it the fastest!!
