Family Fun in Florida

A couple of weeks ago, we had company! Mama, Daddy, Monica, Rachel, Jake, Little Brandon, and Lia came to visit! Here are some of the highlights of their stay:

On day one, we went to the new park close to our house:




We even had a picnic!

The next day, we went to the park by the island:


Next, we decided to go to the Florida Oceanographic Observatory:

This is in the Butterfly Exhibit:

Here, we got to learn about gamefish and watch them get fed:

There was even a really great nature walk:

There were lots of fun exhibits that were hands on. Here Brandon is making tracks that look like real animals' tracks in this sandbox:

Mama and Rachel are playing a game:

This is a large tank of ...STINGRAYS!:

Because the barbs have been removed and stingrays are very peaceful, we got to pet them:

We even got to feed them!:

What's a visit to Florida without a trip to the beach?!?

Jake and Brandon didn't make a sandcastle. They made a sand city!:

Rachel made a sand turtle. Isn't it adorable?:

Look at all the fun y'all missed. Looks like y'all are just going to have to come and experience it yourselves. Give us a call. The Murdock Bed & Breakfast is open!
