The Everglades

We went to the Everglades on a long weekend in February. We say a lot of cool stuff.
 
 
We went to a pull-off to grab a geocache and saw a duck showing off.
 
 
 
Here he is eating.
 
 
Getting ready for take-off!
 
 
Flying away!
 
 
We went to the Welcome Center of the Everglades after the pull-off.
They had a fake turtle there and information about animals in the Everglades.
 
 
 
They had information about storks and stork babies.
 
 
 
They had information on everything.
Alligators or crocodiles.

After that we went to a Turtle Hospital. We saw all kinds
of rescued turtles some had bubble butt. That is where they get hit by a boat and air gets in their shell and makes an air bubble and they can't get to the bottom of the ocean. Also
turtles can get a disease called Fibropapilloma tumors that can form on the outside or inside.

We also went to Key West but no pictures camera was dead.
 
 


Tropical Parkour

Sometimes when we go places my Nana does parkour. If you don't know what parkour is it is when you jump or roll to dodge objects. Some people do it on the streets or in the woods
 
This is Nana rolling down a hill and doing some parkour.
 
 
 
Here she is trying to jump over a road cone.
 
Nana loves to do parkour!
