Date Day

Scott and I took our weekly "date day" on Thursday. "Date Day" is always on Thursday, and we generally use this day to go fishing alone. It's something we both look forward to each week.

Well, today the fishing just wasn't happening. We caught about 10 fish between the two of us, but none were big enough to keep. However, we were blessed with something we'd never seen before. We had a family of manatees come up to our boat! The pictures you see below were NOT zoomed in. These magnificent creatures came to check us out and they were so close we could have reached out and pet them (had that been legal - it's against the law to touch manatees). Anyway, here are the pictures:

Coming up to the boat:

Then her partner said 'hello' to us too.

Can you see all three of them in the water?
