Trip Reflections

Tuesday, Feb. 28

Today we traveled with our friends from Duvall to Blue Springs State Park. We were also treated to a side trip to DeLeon Springs Park... a slight detour as we began our day. At Blue Springs, we were able to play outdoor games with the residents, go for walks and see manatees in the springs.We also celebrated Fat Tuesday and National Pancake Day with both traditional and blueberry pancakes for all.

Through our interaction with the Duvall residents, we were able to learn more about their lives. We learned about their disorders from the staff members. The most heartwarming was to hear the residents talk about their families and what makes them happy. Thanks to our little detour in the morning, we chose to return to DeLeon Springs at the end of our day to take a canoe trip. We saw many birds, more manatees and a few gators, too.
