Cruisin' down the river

A couple days after Christmas, we decided to take a family boat trip down the river. There's a restaurant/marina in Deland on the St John's River and we thought it would be fun to boat to it for their Sunday brunch. The trip there and back took quite a bit longer than we expected. The water level on the Wekiva is kind of low so we had to slow down for fallen trees and shallow water. The girls were patient though and we got there JUST in time for brunch. The food was good but the trip there and back was so cool. We saw a lot of wildlife including turtles, gators, and birds. The best part for me was watching how excited Steve was to take the adventure.
Here's Ali scoping out the gators...

Ali takes a nap on the floor of the boat on the way home. I couldn't believe my luck!
