Manatees!!

When we went to Homosassa Springs Nature State Park

in Florida,

I hoped one thing.

That we would see Manatees.

And I was thrilled

that

it

came true.

Of course they were wayyyyy

under water.

So, I didn't know if I could get good photos of them.

But it was like angels were listening.

As soon as I went over to a little bridge, one came right up under me.

Up close and personal.

And I swear....

he looked into my eyes and lens.

If I could of, I would of jumped in and kissed him

and

played with him.

But they have rules against that kind of thing.

Dang.

Just LOOK at him!:

Look at his pudgy-smudgy cutie pie face!:

Yet, they are such huge, gentle creatures!:

He just kept splashing and going under and then coming up right under the bridge

and looking at me.

I was in LOVE!:

OMG..do you SEE those itty bitty nostrils peeking up from the water?

I swear I giggled and he giggled back.

I think

I have

a

new

BFF
