Winter in Florida is pretty magical - Sunny with temperatures in the 70's makes the weather absolutely perfect for a visit to one of Florida's 175 State Parks. We met up with our friends Nick and Lindsay, as well as their sweet kiddos, for a picnic and some fun at Blue Spring State Park.

Besides being known for for its crystal clear waters right off of the St. John's river, Blue Spring State Park is also known for being a great place to see manatees! When the temperatures get cooler here in Florida, the manatees will come by the hundreds to stay warm in the constant 72° spring fed waters of the Blue Spring run.

It was such a beautiful day to explore the park, to see God's creation up close, and to make memories with our children and our friends. Florida is a great place to live, filled with stunning landscapes and natural parks and pretty consistent weather throughout the year. We're blessed to call this our home and are excited about what adventures we'll find ourselves on in the future!

Have you explored Florida before? What are some of your favorite places?

Thanks for tagging along - We love you!

Chad + Erin

And, folks, they were just as nice in person as they are on YT. We've been praying for you, Erin. So sorry about your arm! Much love to you both, Randy and Barbara.

    What a refreshing get away, especially with friends! Love the manatees, they are amazing creatures. William is soooo adorable! God bless!
  • I hope your arm is better Erin. I know that must have been painful, seeing how black and blue you were. You are strong and always have a smile on your face and you and Chad are good examples of patient parents with your kids! You won’t remember me but I was at your wedding and also sent you a crochet blanket for Carson’s room that I made, it knowing his colors you had chosen for his room! I was so happy to see in once in an episode of you sharing his room as a baby and there was my blanket!! I had hoped you might use it! ❤ You made my heart smile that day. You continue to do so! Thank you! 🙏
