Wekiwa Springs State Park

After moving into our house our first trip was supposed to be at Kelly Park to do the tube float. Well we got there too late and there were police blocking off the entrance with a sign saying it's closed. I decided to try our luck at Wekiwa Springs instead. We had been here once about 10 years ago when Adri was little. I had Natalie call ahead and they said they were crowded and would probably be full by noon. We made it with an hour to spare. 

Zach has been trying hard to hate Florida but every time we take a trip he loves it. He says he likes it 1% more. Every week we take a trip and lately he's been playing Starcraft 2 with me while we're home so I think he's pretty much over the move. I don't know where Adri is on this move yet but Dean is the one kid that it didn't even phase him at all. Dean loves going to the springs but until yesterday at King's Landing (another post coming soon) he hasn't been getting in the water. He loves the beach the most and says he never wants to leave.

Like most Florida springs the water here was 72 degrees. On a hot day the water feels better at the springs than at the beach.














This is the no swim zone where everyone goes canoeing. This is all part of the same system as King's Landing and Kelly Park.
