Manatees

Monday morning we headed to a nearby park that is notorious because manatees congregate there. The canal at the park is fed by the run-off from a power plant so the water is really warm. The manatees head there when the Gulf gets too cold.
the big kids ready to explore (so glad bryn brought a purse!)
here are the sea cows!
cody was excited to learn that they are cousins of the elephant.



bryn was sad to see them covered in cuts from boat propellers.

Where was that? When are you most likely to see them? Would they still be there? So cool!
