Holiday weekend adventures

These pics are a bit belated, but we had a fun Memorial Day weekend exploring a beautiful preserve near our home. It was a bit rainy, but the temps felt awesome to be out on the trails.

We toured the nature center and learned new facts about some of the spiders, birds and fish native to the area. And it has been so cool learning about the Seminole’s and how they lived and used the land in so many amazing ways!






This was such a beautiful spot!!

We loved watching these birds walk along the lily pads!







We really had to watch our step on the trail - not in looking down, but up! There were giant spiders all over the trail with webs strung from one side to the other! Some were as big as our hand!! It was beautiful to see so many webs, and how some of them were gathered in a family-like setting. And we were soooo glad we walked through the nature center to learn that while these spiders were HUGE, they weren’t aggressive biters or anything!






We stopped by the Ft. Lauderdale Temple - a place Mike and I cherish - and talked about family - what it means, what the purpose is, and how much gratitude we have for them!
