Rock Springs

When we first moved to Florida we would come up to Kelly Park/Rock Springs many times during the summer with our friends the Pratts and the McCrelesses... We have not been in a few years and decided it was time to go again with the Jacobsens... Friday Morning we got up early and headed up there... Sam had school and work so he was not able to go but I told him that I was going to work on my suntan. He is so dark right now from playing golf and working outside that I wanted to get a little too... So the drive up there it was raining and we were thinking we might have to do something else. This was the first morning this summer that it has rained, we have had the afternoon showers most days but not the constant rain. When we got up there we decided to head up the the park and try out luck. We got rented tubes and stacked them on the suburbans. We made it to the springs and started the float. The water is always 72 degrees, which is nice on a really hot sunny day but it was a tad bit cold today. I jumped in at the very beginning and it was not as bad as I thought it would be but it was not as I remembered. Below are some pictures. After the first time down the river we stopped for lunch, we grilled hot dogs in the rain with an umbrella covering the grill, it was 10 am when we ate, we were all hungry... We then floated the river two more time and left around 1 to come home. We are going to have to go back when it is warmer and not raining. We stopped for dairy queen on the way home and the sun finally came out for a bit, dang why did it not cooperate for us... O well, we still had a great time with the Jazzies...
