Hutchinson Island, Stuart, Florida
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to spend the weekend with two very special kiddos, Tori and Cody. They belong to my bestie, Jen, and I'm the imperious Godmother (not really, only sometimes!) to her son. The parents were celebrating Jen's birthday by enjoying a weekend alone in Kissimmee. Let the fun begin!
Whats the best way to kick off the weekend on a rainy Friday night?? Eating pizza, of course. On Tori's recommendation we ate dinner at a pizzeria that served, are you ready for this, 'loaded baked potato'pizza. It was AMAZING and then some. Saturday's initial plans entailed the beach, but the rainy Friday night turned into a rainy Saturday. So plan B was enacted. We to head to the Florida Oceanographic Society on Hutchinson Island in Stuart, Florida.
There are over 700 fish species in the Treasure Coast area. Tori, Cody and I learned all about estuaries - a body of water where the sea meets the river. We pet the sting rays, met Lily, the Loggerhead, and watched the nurse sharks be fed. The facility also serves as a rehabilitation center. Lily came to Florida Oceanographic Society after she was hit by a boat. As a result of the accident, Lily has buoyancy issues and now wears weights.
On Sunday we attended Tori's church, and I spent the morning correcting Cody from putting his feet on the pews.
It was a good weekend. Enjoy a few pics...

I love this expression as he checking out all of the sharks!
Say hello to Lily the Loggerhead.
I think sea urchins are SO cool!
Touch tanks rule.
Great Day!
