Mayyaka River State Park

On July 4th, we took advantage of the beautiful sunshine and took a trip to Mayyaka River State Park to take an air boat ride and walk the Canopy Walkway. Not exactly my dream location to visit but we all had a great time and had a few personal discoveries as well. 1. Coco learned she doesn't like to sweat and even shared with Aunt Jaime that "it isn't pretty." 2. I learned that taking a nerve pill before going on a (hot & boring) boat ride leads to an extreme desire to nap. 3. Jaime learned that while she LOVES hiking and spending time on nature trails, her children do not share her enthusiasm.

One of the many alligators we saw on the boat ride. The crazy thing is that in the same waters we saw all these gators, we also saw several people kayking. A little too close for comfort for me!

What a Kodak moment! Look closely at Coco's face.

This was around the time she discovered she didn't really like to sweat.

That's my girl...
