Today after church, and a filling lunch at Angies, we took the kids back to Fort Caroline to finish earning their Jr. Ranger Badges. We had completed the Q&A inside the Visitor's Center initially but hadn't gotten to walk out to the fort.
Headed out to the fort
Reading more info on the fort and the French who lived here.

This was our hiking path today.
Our afternoon hike
Officially Junior Rangers!!! Kendall's first badge!!!
We decided to hike around Spanish Pond which is directly across the street from the Fort entrance. We've hiked it when we lived here before but the kids didn't remember it. Along the way is this awesome tree that was too tempting not to climb!
My handsome Little Man
Isn't this an awesome tree? Made Andy long for his treehouse he built as a kid. It'd be a perfect treehouse tree.
Our trail took us out to a marsh where the kids got to see oysters, crabs, herons and at a distance either a raccoon or muskrat. They had a great time even though it was hot and humid. When we got home they both took showers and headed to bed. Kendall fell right to sleep but Riley...ah, sweet Riley. Most of you know how much he likes to sleep.
To celebrate our new Junior Ranger badges, I made homemade ice cream and let the kids create their very own sundaes. Not a bad day for our little ones!
