Fun in Everglades National Park, FL

We love to visit the Everglades each year. There's always something to do there. We introduced our two newest children to the Everglades this year. We took some self-guided tours, attended the new ranger class about the invasive python species (yikes!), and completed the Junior ranger booklet, including the scavenger hunt bingo board. We earned badges from all 3 National Parks: Everglades, Big Cypress, and Biscayne. We didn't get to do the wilderness tour walking through the water and grass but I guess that's something to look forward to next year since all ranger-led tours end by April 1.

Interesting homeschooling tidbit of the day: the Anhinga has oil on it's feathers so it can dive for birds, stay down quite awhile, come up again and be completely dry.

We also visited the Nike Missile Site in the Everglades for a bit of history.
