Mike and I had the privilege of keeping 2 wonderful boys this weekend. Friday night we headed to CiCi's Pizza. Saturday we headed out early to our normal breakfast spot, The Clubhouse. The boys wanted to go to a park, so we decided we would go someplace new. We drove to Weedon Island in St. Petersburg. WOW--what a hidden treasure. The boys were able to borrow backpacks from the museum there for the day. Inside were cards indicating what creatures we might see on the island, magnifying glass, and binoculars. The binoculars were the hit of the day! (Including Mike and me.) We had a great time walking on two trails and spying on all of God's creation. We saw a snake, lots of birds and fish, jumping fish, 2 tortoises, and caught 2 lizards. We even learned about the food chain and what "scat" is!!
We climbed up one of the observation towers and were able to see Clearwater, Downtown Tampa, and Downtown St. Petersburg. We had a great weekend and ended today with church and the famous chicken and yellow rice. Looking forward to our next adventure with the boys!
