Manatee Springs

Today we (Tyler, Tiffany, Nicholas, Matthew, Lindsay, Hunter, Nicole, Roland) all went to a stake picnic at Manatee Springs. We had hamburgers and hot dogs which were so yummy!

After lunch we got ready to go swimming down at the springs

Here is Grandpa Roland helping Hunter in to the water.

don't be fooled by it's beauty, this water was pretty cold!

Ok, so don't judge us... we thought he would get used to the cold water after a few seconds and be ok. He usually loves to play in the water. But there were so many people around jumping and splashing and I think it just scared him a little. All he wanted was to get out of the water! But these little faces just break your heart!

This is the kicker here: the pout.

Nichole was just fine! See, it really wasn't that bad!

I love this picture of cutie pie Hunter! He had so much fun in all the gear, but the flippers kept falling off so he stuck with the goggles and tube thingy.

Don't they look so relaxed? Cute little family.

And Tyler and Matthew (buddies) :)

It was so much fun! By the end of a few hours, we were all beat! Tyler got a bit of a sunburn (it can't really be avoided... did you see the farmer tan?!) and Nicholas got over his water trauma in time for his bedtime bath (which he loves!) and we will all sleep like rocks tonight I am sure!
