Located just 45 minutes away from our MOPS home (Bradfordville First Baptist Church), there is a state park called Wakulla Springs, home of one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world. There is a small beach area where the kids can play in the sand, and diving platforms for the brave big kids and adults. There are River Boat tours which are 40-60 minute which takes visitors on a three mile loop downstream and back among majestic bald cypress trees, elegant wading birds and toothy alligators. Once in a while, you can even see manatee! They used to have glass bottom boat tours, but those are very rare these days due to poor visibility. There is a lodge built in 1937 where you can see “Old Joe” — an 11-foot, 2-inch alligator enshrined in glass.
This past Friday a few MOPS moms and kids headed to Wakulla Springs for a morning of sand and water fun! Unfortunately, due to car troubles, and rain, our morning was cut short, but I think everyone had a great time while we were there. There is definite interest in returning, because several moms who were out of town wanted to go, so there will be another trip planned there soon!
