Crystal River

Breakfast at the hotel.


We rented two pontoon boats and went snorkeling in the springs.

Before lunch we explored Three Sisters Spring.






We docked right at the restaurant and had a yummy seafood lunch.




The Martins!

Rainbow River and Rainbow River Springs

Dugald had a chance to visit Margaret and Hugh a few times while we were away - here they are looking dapper.

Our trip away with Mama and Papa began with tubing down the Rainbow River.

The "Go Pro" came in very handy, we have lots of photos and videos from our adventures.












After the tubing we met Mama and Papa at Rainbow Springs Park and had lunch. We finished just before it started to rain.

Seeking shelter.

The rain went on awhile so the kids decided to just keep playing in it.






After the park we checked in to the Plantation on Crystal River. We had pizza and salads for dinner, this photo looks crazy because I took it through the screen on the porch.







The cousins all had a blast together.


Jen tells the FUNNIEST stories. 



Katie and Josh having an after dinner swim.






Thus ends day one.
