Finding crabs along the Matanzas river<\/p>\n
We took a day trip to Washington Oaks Gardens this weekend, and I thought I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d share a few pictures. This park has two sides \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a garden side and a beach side. The garden side is bordered by the Matanzas River. Abbey visited this area during one of her Marine Science camp days last week, and was very anxious to show us. Marley missed out, because she was out of town with a friend. We sure missed her.<\/p>\n
We saw more wildlife than I cared to\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6including a black racer snake that crossed our path. Thankfully, I was up on a brick platform and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think snakes can climb stairs. Can they? We also saw lots of different species of crab (they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re finding them in the picture above), banana spider webs EVERYWHERE, and large carp in the pond. On the beachside, we enjoyed climbing on huge rocks along the beach. It was interesting to see how the waves have carved and molded the rocks over the years. It was a fun day\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6hot, but fun!<\/p>\n

The result of this was Ethan in drenched clothes for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n
