We visited several of our 'favorite places' this past week!
And saw some beautiful sights but what was the best part? We had 'kids' and grandkids to share them with.
(Family pic taken at Rainbow Springs State Park)
The rest of these were taken at Homosassa Wildlife Park.
The weather was fabulous and we packed a picnic lunch to spend the day at the park!
It was amazing to see manatees in the wild and then walk all through the park to see wildlife native to Florida.
Some manatees were more 'wild' than others! heehee!
It was a SUPER FUN week....but it went by way too fast.
How have YOU been? I can't wait to visit all of you and see what you've been up to.
I’m joining Beautiful Sunday and

It is always fun to visit interesting places, but so much moreso when family is along! Love the photo of y'all.
Oh how nice to see photos of you with your family - Thank you for sharing them.
Diane, I'm so glad your adventures included your family. Does your son and his wife live far away?
Great pics! Glad you had a nice time!!
Great family photos! I would have loved to see the manatees too!AriadnefromGreece!
After seeing your photos, wishing for some "grand's time" too! I'm glad it was a happy week for you, XOXO
love to see your photos.
love and hugs x
Looks like a really lovely time with the grands! I love the owl.
Diane, I think you are the short one...LOL..your grands are as tall as you, if not taller...and oh boy your son looks like your husband tall and lean. I hope you got sweet hugs and kisses. Please squeeze those granndkids down they will grow up too fast. I always give Emma a big squeeze, I tell her it's to keep her from growing too fast. Honestly Diane, if I dwelled on how fast my babies are growing I could cry. I loved that duck...the colors are amazing. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
I know how happy you are to have family visit! So many smiles!! Big Hugs!

How nice to visit with family. It sounds like a very special time. Love the owl.
You all look so happy!! Love these pictures. And come to Nanaland tomorrow to leave a conment on the give away. I was not too clear about that this morning on my post. I was in a rush, heading to a drs check up!!
Your son looks so much like you! Lovely pics of family and you do live in a beautiful area of florida.
Oh, what a wonderful time all of you had! I am so glad you enjoyed yourself, sweet friend :) And your photos are stunning!
Hugs and joy to you!
Oh yes! Always more fun to share with special people!

Fun. Super Fun!
I am so glad you had family over for the week.
I bet you had a great time.
The photo of the wood duck is my favorite.
What a beautiful family. That duck is so pretty it doesn't look real.
Silly manatees.
Yes, I will probably keep the things I make and just stick to reselling the dolls.
What a lovely family and gorgeous and fun photos ~ beautiful nature shots too!
Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
What fun family time, Diane! I went to the Dallas World Aquarium with my youngest son and 15 month old granddaughter and it was fabulous. It was like a mini zoo, and much more than an aquarium.
Nothing beats spending some good times with your loved ones.
Keep having fun!
Hi Diane,
Looks like you had such a fun week! ....and what a beautiful family photo! So nice to see your son and his lovely family!!! I hope to spend time with my girls later in March!!! Really looks like you had a ball! Happy for you my friend!xoxo

Oh yes, what a great week you had. The kids must have had a grand time. Love the wood duck. Funny you should mention, as I show one one the dollhouse blog. We only hear about manatees here; how special to be able to see them the kids must have really enjoyed getting to see them. Such wonderful memories for them and for the entire family.
FAMINGOS! Jess' favorite bird. They are spectacular, aren't they? It looks like you had a fun time, Diane. This is a nice picture of your family. And you got a great picture of the mallard duck.
I wanted to thank you for using the pop-up comments. They are a lot easier to comment with, and wish more of my blog friend's had them.
Oh, and your new Header with the pink flowers is soooooo pretty. :)
love, ~Sheri
So nice that you shared a wonderful week with your family. Love the picture of the whole gang together.
You did see some interesting sights!
Diane! What a sweet family you have! Everyone looks happy to be together and outside enjoying Florida's beauty! Love the manatee pic! :-)
So glad you got to visit with your beautiful family!
Looks like a good time was had by all ;)
Hi Diana! OH, what a beautiful place you live in. The duck is so beautiful and what a great time to spend with your family. I have more dolly fashions to show! Hopefully I can get my post up!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Hello my friend! I've been away so long I almost forgot how to blog! It's a long story. I hope you're still following me. LOVE that Wood Duck photo you posted - your whole post is very nice, and looks like you had a wonderful time!
Such a lovely day outing! I absolutely loved your pictures, they are amazing! The flamingos are so striking in color and form, and the pictures of your family so fun, always so great to get outside and enjoy each other's company! Have a wonderful week :)
What a lovely family - everyone is simply precious. I'm glad you had nice weather and got to go so many places. The photos are wonderful. Oh how I would love to see a wood duck! I know you are resting up and enjoying the sweet memories. Well, I'll "scoot" along - see you on Wednesday morning.
This looks like so much fun!!!
What a sweet family photo and sounds like you all had a wonderful time! Those are the best - time spent with family! Hugs xo Karen
Oh Diane those are the best days aren't they?
Enjoying day trips with a picnic lunch with family, it brings back similar happy memories for me of France.
Florida is beautiful - I haven't been but I feel I know part of it because of your photos!
Fun family photos!
Thank you for popping in to say hello too - my old blogging buddies are the best and you're one of them!
Love
