Six children from The Family Education Center enjoyed exploring the trails through the mangroves, watching the feeding at the marine life tanks and learning about the wildlife at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. They liked the shark feeding the most; they suck really, really loud when they eat! We also visited the turtle rehab area and the butterfly garden. Across the street, at Red Reef Park, we had a picnic than snorkeled around the rocks.

 

This was the first snorkeling adventure for some of the children but they got the hang of it quickly. There was much nervous excitement when the resident baracuda was spotted! Most favorite parts? The sharks and the baracuda. Least favorites? The heat and baracuda. The big question when we got home? When can we go again?????
