Wiki Wachee Springs

Nana is in town (Don's mom), so we took a little trip to see the mermaids at Wiki Wachee Springs. It's a natural spring with year round 74 degree water. It must've been cold for the mermaids. It's a pretty cool show.
We were looking out at the turtles that rested on the manatee's back under water. You can see the hump of the manatee in front of the dock. We're the royal family of the sea here.
We saw a bird show where birds rode roller skates and swung on rings. Isaac got his ears warmed by his Granddad then sat on his Nana's lap.Isaac needed to get out and walk while we watched the show.

We went on the boat ride too. The driver was a ranger who pointed everything out to us including "monkey island" where they put some monkeys until there were too many tourists. We saw another manatee and a bald eagle. She told us about how they have to cancel the mermaid show when alligators are in that part of the spring.
It was a good time for just enjoying family.


There is a mermaid show with real mermaids. The theater goes underground and has windows that open into the clear springs. The mermaids were lip-synching to some songs then just dancing to others. One did a free dive way down in the spring. I liked it when they blew kisses and blew bubbles out. Dylan wanted to go back for another show.
We're waiting for the curtain to open.

THANK YOU Mom and Don

And for even letting me take lots of pictures and for posing for pictures! You got us to all look when we were being pearls here. You know how to make me so happy:)
